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

I'm feeling content. No dread, though there is some anxiousness because I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. I know I need to write, but I don't have a subject. That will come when it's ready. In the meantime I feel a bit lost as to what to do. I'm just glad that I don't feel the gloom or dread that has been hanging around as of late.
 
Gizmo, you just gotta do what ya gotta do. You have the right attitude. We cannot always please others and we need to let their complaints just roll off of us. You have to do what is best for both of you, even though he does not like it. I'm sure he would not like it if the fridge were totally empty! Tell him that.
 
Sheila I have to become the leader. It is very hard because he is so used to being the leader, but at the same time he is very dependent on me.

I cannot use logic or reason with him. I have to say to him that I understand and he says he knows I understand and that solves that problem.

I a m experimenting with doing my own thing. He does not like it but he accepts it. I do have to do things. I ran errands today and he did not complain. I am reading On Death and Dying by Elizabeth Kuebler Ross to get his perspective on what he may be thinking and experiencing. I think he is really angry at what is happening to him and that is a valid stage of grief. At least he is not in denial.

We will make it through this ecperience. No one can defeat me and no one can take my atitiude away from me.
 
Focused on my eventual passing
Is that because you turned 60?

No one can defeat me and no one can take my attitude away from me.
I am so proud of you. Keep up the good work.

I am feeling really happy. I got a lot accomplished today by the help of so many people. They all came over or called and ask what they can do to help. I gave each of them a task, and every single one of them did them for me. This is a first for me, and you know what? I like it. A person could get used to people helping.
 
Feeling a little tired today. The heat is getting to me. Weather should start to cool at the end of the month, well I hope so anyway.

Mentally I'm quite settled and stable after a couple years of trauma and stress. Thankfully I've managed to put it where it belongs, which is in the past. I guess after 6 decades of turmoil I have finally woken up, learning to live in the present.

Once again I would like to say thank you to the forum for all the help and support. I truly believe the help I received saved me, when I was very suicidal. We can rise from the depths of despair and move on, you just have to recognise your own self worth.

Hugs to all that need them.
 
I felt like hurting myself all day but was able to keep my actions in check while I did some 'retail therapy' and the feeling finally went away. I did have four days of feeling some peace since Dad died December 8th, so I'm making progress.

I know I have to expect ups and downs, and downs, and ups, especially through the year of 'firsts'. I know it is a hard journey and that is understating it, but I survived losing my daughter. I know I can make it, one moment at a time.

I'm proud I did not give in to the self-harm thoughts.
 
Feeling internally frustrated and overwhelmed. :( Needing to suppress feelings, thoughts and many an aspect of life, as life currently is challengingly hectic to put it mildly. :unsure:

Confident however that I am daily, mostly doing a reasonably well job of managing and needing to perform and think through entirely too much.
