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

[TLight]

Relieved. I'm done fighting.

 

[Robin]

Today, I am feeling happy but also a little anxious. Can feel the stress and the panic building a little. don't trust feeling happy. Been feeling happy for a few days now.

Mourning I guess is the best way to describe it. A little lost sheep.....

Yesterday, in my exposure therapy, ..........

I'm so glad you shared how you're feeling and wrote this post. I do understand and have felt exactly what you have described.

Hope

Crappy and I don't know why. Maybe because both my daughters may be leaving in the near future.
One may be getting married- the other back to college in fall.
I'm turning 60 soon and am so aware of all the time PTSD has chewed up in my life.
I guess I am sad/mad. (For me that is one word.)

I often feel the same way about all the time that PTSD wastes - all that waste of human life (so valuable!) is so sad and it's so unfair that we lose so much! (It makes me mad too.)

So sorry you're feeling this now and feeling crappy today.

Grieving the loss of my cat, who was sixteen. It's tearing me up.

Really identifying with everyone in this thread. I hope things get brighter soon for all of you. :/

Apprehensive about returning to work on Tuesday. There's been a lot of changes while I've been off (only two weeks!) & tensions are running high. I don't even know if I'll have a job in September. Trying not to worry about that too much but if I haven't it will mean some big changes for me. Not sure I'm up to doing that.

I'm sorry to hear about your cat, I'm sure you gave it the best life it could have, 16 is a good age.

I can understand what you are feeling. I have two who are 10 & I nearly lost them in my divorce proceedings, I was devastated. At times over the last four years its only been their needs that have made me get up in the morning, I can't imagine life without them.

Have you thought about having another one, a kitten would keep you busy!!!

Not so much about what I felt today, but what I feel right now.

I feel totally CREEPED OUT!

Just finished watching a movie my husband rented something having to do with alien abduction and close encounters of the 4th kind.

I can watch nearly anything and simply not be afraid or creeped out. Often I might feel disgusted or find things that are suppose to be scary, as perhaps boring, yet more often then not hilarious, ....but creepy and scary, No.

And, that's the way tonights movie started out kind of boring at times and funny at other times, ...but then it all got quite scary and I actually find myself feeling creeped out, like anxious and unsafe, and from a movie of all things. Freaky!

Feel a bit like a kid again when late night movies would leave me frightened. Too weird!

Cat: Thank you for your kind words. He was so affectionate and friendly to everyone, even in his deteriorating condition. It's hard to say goodbye to an old friend.

I know just what you mean. On and off I've helped to find homes for kittens. I wish student housing allowed pets.

goingonhope: That happened to me with Event Horizon, a movie my friend found hilarious. It sucks. Hope you can get some sleep after that!

Last night I was feeling unusually calm, quiet, at peace.

Tonight I had to end a relationship with a destructive "friend". I kept my cool and stayed reasonable, but you can't reason with evasive, antagonistic people. I feel relieved and a little let down. I guess I'm on my own again, but better that than to be stuck in a game of cat and mouse.

Great thread! Thanks for starting it, goingonhope, and thanks to all for keeping it going.

My this morning:

I started feeling quite depressed by the breaking news about George Rekers traveling with a young male "escort" http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2010-05-06/news/christian-right-leader-george-rekers-takes-vacation-with-rent-boy/1 - even if it is a good thing to have yet another bigoted anti-gay figurehead exposed for his hypocrisy, I mostly feel sorry for both of them. What kind of an environment drives one to viciously and publicly attack what now seems to be his own nature and the other to what very much looks like selling his body.

Sad.
