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

    What am I feeling today? :cautious: First of all, I'm annoyed that this question is not getting any easier to answer! :mad: It's still so hard to figure out what I'm feeling. Physically, I'm okay, I guess. I've been going through this weird thing for the past week or so, where one minute I...

    A Walk A Day...

    Well... today was the first day since I got my gym membership that I actually went to the gym. I'm so annoyed with myself! :mad: Right after the 28th of February, I ended up getting a really bad cold, which left me in bed for almost a week. Then I spent the next week getting caught up with...

    What Are You Thinking?

    What am I thinking? :cautious: Life is pretty f-ing unfair. I hate colds. I hate this stupid fight to feel better with the entire deck stacked against me. I am frustrated and annoyed with life. :confused: I hate that it's so embarrassingly clear that I vacillate from manic to tired to...

    Goal of The Day-Challenging Your PTSD

    What are my goals for today? :cautious: Hell if I know. I'm a little lost at the moment. :unsure: I've got a real bad cold, I can barely breathe, and being unable to breathe is a trigger for me and it throws me into flashbacks. Plus my husband and I are fighting. It's all really screwed...

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

    What am I feeling today? :cautious: First off, sick. I have another bleep-ed-bleep-bleep cold! :mad: The coincidence of it all really pisses me off. I get to where I want to be, doing what I feel needs to be done... and no matter how I try to pass that hurdle, something always interferes...

    Goal of The Day-Challenging Your PTSD

    Yes, I kinda wish there were two chats as well! It's very hard and stressful to be supportive to people who are really struggling and are sharing in chat. I can only do a limited amount of that before it really takes it out of me. So, I completely get what you're saying! :hug: What are my...

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

    What am I feeling today? :cautious: I'm okay. I'm eager to just rest and relax all day. I pushed myself too hard this week. I have to avoid that cycle of adrenalization and collapse. It's a great distraction, sure... to run, run, run like a chicken with it's head cut off :chicken:, get...

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

    Hey, I've been there. I'm starting to like normal days more... even though everyone else's normal is so totally weird for me! For me, I just keep believing that I'm making progress and things are going to get better. I have to. I'm so glad you had a good day!! :joyful: I've got my fingers...

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

    What am I feeling today? :unsure: Tired. A little rundown. (Going to rest up today, as much as possible.) Hungry. (Ha!) :wideeyed: :eek: Anxious. Overall, though, things are okay, so basically, I'm feeling content. :joyful: I'm going to focus on the content part.

    A Walk A Day...

    So... last night, we ran around doing a bunch of errands, and there was lots of walking... probably all together over an hour. Maybe more. So that was good! :laugh: Then later I vegged out and watched TV on ABC. :rolleyes: Gotta love all the drama. Today I did go to the gym and I did get...

    How did I do yesterday? :cautious: Well, I did get exercise in... 70 minutes of walking at the track, plus a bunch of stretching. No problems with any aches or pains today. I made sure Thursday ran according to schedule... even though I had to put up with my daughter asking about 300 times...

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

    LOL! Angiety! Been there! ;) I wish I had some advice, but I really don't. Expressing any type of anger freaks me out. But I do know that it's okay to be feeling whatever you're feeling. :hug: What am I feeling today? :cautious: Hmmm. It's complicated, I guess. I'm feeling weird...

    What am I feeling today? :cautious: I'm feeling the need to keep this short... or at least try! :alien: I'm feeling okay. A little tired, a little annoyed, a little upset because of flashbacks and memories and things coming to the surface... but overall, okay, almost content. :joyful: I'm...

    Hahaha! I'm glad you got the joke... because after the fact I was thinking I took it a little too far. I really do have the stupid sense of humor of like a 9 year old. ;) LOL! :wtf: Hey, years ago, I fell down some stairs (total accident... I'm a klutz) and I landed on my tailbone. It was...

    A Walk A Day...

    LOL! @Definitely..maybe, in heels... yes, definitely a workout! I remember when I was working, running around downtown in heels. I'm glad those days are over! Sounds like your day was really fun! :) You're on, for the next dance party! So... yesterday I did end up walking around Target...

    Let's see... I did have a pretty good day yesterday. I did leave my room, I made lunch, I rested, we went to Target... but I didn't make dinner. By dinner time I was totally out of it. Exhausted and scatterbrained, having trouble focusing. Not unusual given the flashbacks and other stuff...

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

    That's what this thread is for... so I think you should post just as much as you need to! I just... I wanted to say I SO empathize with that feeling... like, what I went through, it can't be possible, did I just make this stuff up, am I crazier than I think I am? And I constantly have to...

    A Walk A Day...

    LOL! Totally get it @Definitely..maybe! :laugh: And I've got to charge my iPod Nano... it has a pedometer and somewhere I have a something like a watch band for it, so that would be cool. Because it is surprising how much walking happens when you're not even thinking about exercising...

    Goal of The Day-Challenging Your PTSD

    Yesterday I did manage to work through my feelings, get ready and leave my bedroom, go outside, go shopping, go to the movies and in general rescue the day from a PTSD-induced depressive funk. Yay for me! Watch as I stick my arm straight in front of me, turn my hand palm up, and then go ahead...
