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

Tired from cleaning the house. We decorated. I did not decorate as much as I usually do. It is simple and I am in the mood for simple. It turned out very nice. I am happy that we did that this year. I will decorate for christmas just not outside. I will have the granddaughters decorate the tree. I will also have hot choclate and cookies. That will make it like a party. We had out frappes.
 
I have a busy day ahead. I have been feeling a lot of feelings this morning.

I have been feeling anxious and stressed.

I have also had an insight that my PTSD thinking is my biggest prison to overcome. My jailer is my thinking and they way I allow that PTSD thinking to influence my life. I keep coming from a position of the small traumatised child that finds everything overwhelming and too much and too hard and not achievable.
 
I feel terrified that I will be totally abandoned so I spread my self way too thin and have way too many people in my life, which is along the spectrum of isolating my self but from a different direction.

I am feeling it is so hard to get up and get moving. I have stuffed around a lot this morning. I have felt so much anxiety, breathlessness, inability to move and an overwhelming desire to go to sleep.

I have had a few baths and done some meditation to calm my self down. It has been a tough morning. fortunately I start late today. I have two classes today. Gosh I am worn to frazz in my self. Feeling pleased my self that I am keeping on keeping on.
 
I've felt like looking for the 'truck that hit me' in the night. Thanks to Fibro/Arthritis and the cold front that has come through.

Brrrrrr and ouch!!

I agree that you celebrate that, in spite of it all, you keep keeping on. On days like you described -- trying to deal with the traumatized child in you, I feel I have to "babysit" myself. It is exhausting, isn't it?

I'm having some hot tea with ginger snaps to try to "snap" me out of it tonight.

Take good-care.
 
I'm still feeling calm and relaxed. I slept well with my doggies, I fell asleep listening to the rain battering the windows again.

This morning I woke to a clear day and took the dogs for their morning walk. It is so wet under foot but the sun was coming up and it was a joy to see the dogs play, I felt glad to be alive.

I feel proud that I have managed a lot this week whilst H was away, he will be back tomorrow so only one more sleep.

I feel strong that I can do the same next week and the week after.

Huge gentle (((HUGS))) to you all.
