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

BlackbirdRising, I hope you feel better soon. :)

And today I'm between stressed and relieved. Stressed because I have tons of homework and papers but my parents called me today and told me they got me a new computer for an early Christmas present which was fantastic news.

My happiness is less over the new computer than my being happy my parents are showing they care--something they are not always very good at. Can I say I'm so happy that I don't have to walk back to my apartment alone in the dark again after tomorrow??
 
I feel trapped by the lack of avenues left to get over what is happening to me. I've tried everything I can think of. I feel lonely.

I don't think you're alone, Springer80. I go through times where I feel like the things I'm doing to get better aren't working--but sometimes I think it's harder for me to see my improvement where others do see it. This is probably because I'm having to live it and everyone else is seeing it.

Just keep telling yourself that you are strong and you CAN do this. Things will get better. And you are not alone. :hug:
 
Contentment for a change. I was able to pick up my son from his friends house, which isn't usual for me, and he had a good time. Now he is sitting right next to me, even though he could have sat in a further spot. I feel very loved.

I was just thinking about that. To make the story shorter then the story in my head, which you would appreciate, ;), I was thinking of later in the summer when I was out exercising and spending more time in the sun. I've always been told that exercise and sunshine is good for your mood. However, it didn't help and I ended up crashing mentally. I tried to do something to get better and I utterly failed. I haven't given up though. I plan on giving myself another chance as I see the fog is lifting. Keep your fingers crossed.
