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

[LaurieJ]

I feel so anxious and took medication for it but it didn't last so I took the longer acting one like the doctor told me to do. Now I'll be asleep the rest of the night as it has that effect on me. My heart is racing in my chest which tells me I am headed for a panic attack again. It takes two hours for the second medication to work so I'll distract myself until then. Maybe I'll try and knit something easy. I'm sick of this anxiety and my mood being up!

I'm feeling sad and guilty because my therapy session went wrong and it was my fault.

I am feeling a little down today even though I have accomplished alot.

I am feeling like I can get things done.

I feel like I can manage not to be so dissociated today.

... why?

I am starting to feel some of the higher frequency feelings. I am laughing, giggling, smiling more, and am feeling calmer and more peaceful on a day to day basis. (Pretty good feelings chart that I've been using to chart my progress... I was stuck on stoic and middle range stuff for a while now Link Removed )

Made some good financial decisions, seem to be holding the new commitments to the second part time job okay, marriage and "the moms" are generally better and calmer relationally... I'm much less anxious and stressed at the moment.

Will it last? Who can say, but it's been a very long time since I've smiled, laughed, giggled, and generally felt like I could cut loose a bit and not be so self contained.

Thanks for asking.

Shoulderblades, this is not true. I have met many sexual abuse survivors that have enjoyed sex

I know this logically. I wish my emotional brain would remember it, though. :-(

I am so pleased for you Alba. I really am.

Well the situation that I went into today was a big stressor I thought about a lot and I managed it okay. There were things I could have worked around more but I wasn't expecting things to go the way they did. I did okay.

I feel pretty stressed as I might not be enrolled at university. I may have stuffed up my enolment so I am not feeling happy about that. I was doing so much better with things but this I kept thinking to follow up but I didn't. So I dropped the ball.

I am a ball of negative emotions today. Something switched over night. It's stopping the prednisone. I've been here before and just have to ride it out. I'm so angry with my past, present, and what seems like a dim future. If I can find my flip flops I think that I'll go for a swim.

Somewhat energetic this morning, ...which will increase :tup: as I begin my work.

And, I'm feeling confident, open-minded and somewhat nervous-which I think is probably anticipatory anxiety due to so many things having become obstacles and my anxiety that perhaps just another unexpected obstacle might land itself in this day.

Still a little lost as to what am I suppose to do with myself during the day. Not as bad as it was though so I am thankful for that. Trying to keep myself occupied. Less time to wallow in bad feelings.

I am feeling great. I am having a wonderful day.
