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

Glad it was a cheap and simple fix Cath.

I am feeling good as I got quite a bit done. I feel like I can manage things even though it takes a lot of concentration.

 

[Tanishq]

I am feeling physically semi tired and bit funny.

(((CC))), I'm so pleased it is all sorted and at a good price.

I'm about to go for a 'granny nap'. I feel tired although today has got better than I thought it would.

The window and door people started today. I was expecting a team, but it was one very nice man. He has replaced the patio door, it looks wonderful and much more secure than the old one. He is coming back tomorrow to repair a wall which was damaged by damp and then again next Tues and Wed to fit the front door and bay window. I'm so pleased that the mess and noise was minimal.

Then I had some people from our local furniture scheme come to take away our dining room table and chairs, a sofa bed and a single bed. They then sell the furniture at a very low price to people who are in need.

Lastly, a courier came with my new bike. It is still boxed up and in the garage.

My hubby is away today and will be home about 9.30pm tonight.

I'm going to rest as I am beginning to feel anxious.

Wow what a day KP!

I'm glad it all came together.

I feel overwhelmed, unreal, so very tired, lonely, anxiety from hell and despair.. (and a lot of feelings I can't find the words for)

 

[shoulderblades]

I am feeling overwhelmed with sexual shame. Overwhelmed with shame about my body. I feel overwhelmed with shame for wanting sex. I feel overwhelmed with shame for liking sex. I feel overwhelmed with shame for indulging in sex and for having sexual feelings and for having sexual needs. All of this was triggered by masturbating. I felt fine while masturbating and beforehand. But afterwards, was suddenly horribly triggered with shame and memories about my abusers and my abuse and wondering if I'm overdramatising my abuse and horrible thoughts of "I wouldn't be liking sex if I was really abused" and ugh ugh ugh. I feel really confused and scared, and I feel bewildered by being triggered by masturbating of all things, something that has never triggered me in my life (to my knowledge and recollection).

I feel a bit zoned out today.

"I wouldn't be liking sex if I was really abused"

Shoulderblades, this is not true. I have met many sexual abuse survivors that have enjoyed sex. It was usually the after that they had a hard time with, or even reaching an orgasm. Shame and guilt are powerful emotions, often brought on by the abuser and residual. You are human. I too have my own issues with sex, but a very patient and understanding husband. He pushes nothing and respects me, but I still feel guilt and shame even after 18 years of marriage. You are human. You went through bad things and now you have to work through them. It just takes time. Just try not to doubt yourself. I think the abusers win then, but that could just be me.

like a car out of gas.

 

[DharmaGirl]

I don't have a clue.

 

[The Albatross]

Pretty damn good right now.

May we ask why?
