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

[Anrish]

I'm feeling numb.

WOW, just WOW!!! :wideeyed::wideeyed::wideeyed:

I awoke this morning feeling rested and refreshed and that hasn't happened in a long time, I had no morning stiffness, no muscle pain or spasms. I am not anxious or depressed, my arthritis is not bothering me and happiest of all, my flare-up of CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) has ended and I feel absolutely wonderful today!!!:D:p:playful::cool:

I am so grateful and happy today...I feel that I have conquered PTSD, at least as much as I am able, and feel very happy, proud and blessed about that....I am in the maintenance phase of therapy and that means I am just there to talk about my day, get a bit of a refresher (reminders) and medication management!!!:joyful:

Although I may possibly be disabled due to PTSD for the remainder of my life, I still consider myself to be a success story...The reason for that is, that many adults that were severely abused children never deal with their issues, get help, and many of them commit suicide either quickly or slowly, or they continue to be tortured souls for the rest of their lives. :( I can't express just how happy and thankful I am to be where I am today!!!!:laugh:

Thanks to all for the support and encouragement since I became a member here...every word has been a true blessing!!!:hug::hug::hug::hug:

Tired and having tea after t-time. I'm pretty sure the new T is one of the really good ones- I explained the lingering effects of going through the first part of my history at our last session so we shifted and worked on mindfulness.

I feel trapped in this world full of responsibilities.

I feel worn out. We need to fix our basement, have needed to for years, because it keeps flooding and my son got all over my case about it. I don't blame his frustration, it is stinky, but why hold it against me? I can't handle his anger, then that got the younger one questioning our finance management. As if they haven't at least had a roof over their heads. I think I'm going to bed early. Crying just wears me out.

Badly. Told I should be dead, & that my sister would rather be dead than live with me.

I feel like I am waking up into reality right now and I should be dealing with what is inside of me. I am going to be ok no matter what happens and I am looking forwards to going into therapy and feel so hopeful about that.

Anger. My son's car broke down and he is taking his anger out on me. I hate when he does that. Really gets to me. Now if I was a person who didn't feel other people's emotions this would be so much easier. UGH.

@Junebug I am sorry you were verbally abused in that manner.:( :hug::hug:XXOO

 

[Tinyflame]

Thanks for the kindness @Recovery4Me . It started with "Hey, there's blood on the floor?" & me saying "I heard glass break last night". Which followed with 2 hours of 1-way screaming, mostly at me. Am very tired but wide awake. :(

@Junebug I am feeling so sorry for you right now. You deserve so much better than what treatment you are getting, I do not think you are a whipping post at all. Many hugs and prayers.

@Britt.f7 I am so sorry that your son raged on you. I understand how this would both upset and trouble you. I hope you can just walk away from him when he gets that way because it costs you nothing to just walk away.

I am feeling so good about going to my friends house for some fun on Halloween. I am so appreciative of her being the good and kind person she is. She is very understanding of me not wanting to be here alone with my car so close to my apartment. Now I will be at a safe house and my car most likely will not be damaged because I am not there to hand out any candy and not available to tricksters looking to vandalize anything.

I am really looking forwards to that. I feel good about having some contact with my daughter right now. I feel so much better that the truth will come out and I will be vindicated with her. That feels pretty awesome. The truth always comes out in the end. Just loving this.

@gizmo Thanks for the support. I told him I was done. He seems better to me. Good luck with your daughter. And have fun at your friends house!
