What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

[franciemarnie]

I have felt like that too @macca. I used to call it feeling "inherently offensive". There was nothing remotely gross or physically infectious in or about me - but it was an overwhelming feeling that actually helped keep me a recluse for decades. I literally wouldn't get close to people and would hold my breath when I could so they couldn't get whatever it was. Of course it was solely a feeling born of abuse - but oh the power of it!

I am pooped and hope to relax tonight with a good movie.

I am having such a wonderful day with my family today. I was so depressed yesterday missing my husband, but today, my daughter told me that she is so glad I live with her. I am so blessed and eight months ago, I did not know what I was going to do. I feel so good and happy today.

Hugs for everyone having a bad day.

I've not been around for a while. Haven't been doing so well. Withdrawn, depressed. Anxious. Stress cup overflowing.

I'm glad you're back around now. I did the same thing, too... I was MIA for a couple weeks between late January and early February after being on the forum everyday for weeks before that. I was depressed and got this weird idea that I didn't deserve to talk to people on the forum, that I didn't deserve help or support. Being depressed and in that place where your stress cup finally overflows, that sucks. I hope you feel better soon. :hug:

I'm distracted and all over the place today, trying to do too many things at once. I need to remember to focus on one thing at a time. Feeling okay I guess, just scattered.

I'm totally feeling that way today, too. :confused:

In other news about my feelings... :rolleyes:

I'm feeling good. Like really good and pretty normal. Maybe a little more positive than I should be and a little more hyper and a little more distracted than I should be, because I'm mildly manic. It's a tough balancing act between enjoying the good days and not letting myself get too outta control manic so that I crash a week later. But I've had 6 really good days in a row. I've felt like a normal person, for the most part. If I could push my mania down just a tiny bit more, I think I could be like this all the time... or I guess, I hope I could be like this most of the time. :joyful:

I'm feeling physically tired... I have been on my feet and running around non-stop for most of the last three days. It's good exercise, but I'm afraid if I push too hard I'll collapse in exhaustion... on the other hand, puttering and walking around the house all day isn't that strenuous a workout, so maybe I shouldn't worry about it. But I worry about everything. So, tired and worried. :meh:

I'm feeling a bit embarrassed and apologetic that I constantly have to type out all this to even figure out what I'm feeling. It still isn't coming easily. I know I'm not supposed to talk so much about what I'm thinking... but without doing so, I just CANNOT figure out what emotions I'm experiencing. I'm feeling frustrated by this, and embarrassed. :shy:

I'm also feeling happy. Lots of good things are happening around here and I'm enjoying myself and people around me are happy, too. :tup:

I think I am veering towards minor burnout. I do the hypervigilance thing on creative projects so I am examining minute details as if the fate of the world depends on it. Hungry. Going to eat. Shower then. Don't get too hungry, angry, lonely or tired ( HALT) is what I was once told by wise people.

Hey, I do that hypervigilance thing on projects, too. I did a little better on a project yesterday... I tried to relax and I just kept telling myself I could adjust it later if it was actually bothering me. Of course, today it was actually bothering me, and I just never had time to work on my project again. Maybe tomorrow. That HALT thing is good... too often I get hungry, lonely and tired and then I inevitably meltdown. Thanks for mentioning it. Hang in there... try to take a grown-up timeout to just sit and do nothing and let yourself relax if you can, even if for only 5 minutes... I mean, that helps me. I hope you feel better soon. :hug:

It's light out, so I'm giving up on trying to sleep and making coffee. Not sleeping makes me more anxious, so I'll try to stay busy today- that usually helps.

I'm feeling a bit sluggish. I took a seroquel late in the evening and it seems to be hanging over me this morning. A little down from a minor disappointment yesterday. Slept a little rough. Trying to see the bright side of things. Not quite seeing it as of yet.

Tired. Worried. One of the dogs was limping pretty badly last night. She has had issues with that knee in the past. I'm afraid she tore her cruciate ligament. She is especially vulnerable because her mom tore hers and it can be genetic. Our other two dogs each tore theirs... now this one. What are we doing. I hope she's not in pain. :(

These days are so much of an emotional rollercoaster that I feel like I'm on drugs, I feel like this is one giant trip and the activity in my brain is like a kaleidoscope....

Feeling good for a change, not as tired as I usually am, but then I slept all evening and all night too. I was feeling exhausted but am doing pretty good now; feel happier, rested, and more optimistic. Settling in for dinner and a movie. Feeling motivated, determined and grateful.

 

[Britt.f7]

Trying hard to stay out of bed. Feeling like giving in. I already laid down once today. Once should be enough. Frustrating.

I am feeling very tired after having such a wonderful day. I am going to go to bed soon. I feel so good. I did not wake up stressed out and anxious this morning.

Shouldn't have had the wild rice I guess. Stomach pain woke me. Felt good today. Less gravity with sunny skies. Tired. Want to sleep. Waiting for anti-acid to take effect. Just tired.
