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

Im sorry about your dog. That is difficult because they offer us support. They are the ones that see the truth. We trust them. It is natural to feel sad about that jut feel it. I'm in social isolation trying to figure out what my triggers are and how to reduce them. I write and started sketching. Tomorrow i want to work on writing coping strategies on note cards and then practicing them when I wake up, of course if I can get my sleep schedule on track enough to allow me to do that. I am dissociating a lot. I've noticed I take baths for relaxation but I am at a point where I need to develop more coping strategies and making them an official part of my daily routine.

I have had a day of hanging in there. I did some exercise. I went to art. I watched some dvds. I felt so anxious and at my end. I have been brave.

I really don't know what the rules are for dealing with cancer, chemo, remission, residual disease, etc.

Are there rules? I don't think so. You take it one day, one moment at a time. You handle it the way you need to, not the way other's think you should. What does the cancer marker mean for you? I don't remember this part with my husband and his cancer.

My heart goes out to you.

I feel very stressed. I feel overwhelmed by my feelings of anxiety.

I feel very lonely, lost, isolated and uncertain.

Feelings of falling apart and having to hold myself together. I am weeping from having to do this. I have tried so hard to get better, but I seem to have to continue to manage to hold onto myself and who I am. It is really sad for me, I wish that my days were a little less full of all the struggles.....

Stressed

Relax. For example breathing techniques, take a bath, eat some peppermint or smell it. Get back to reality Ms Spock. Ground yourself.

I've been having panic attacks since yesterday morning, when the town woke up to the news that a group of five teenagers were in a terrible accident in which one of them died. Alcohol was involved. Two of the kids are friends and classmates of one of my sons and I keep thinking that it could have been my boy in that car.

Just take deep breaths and relax. Tell yourself that it was not your son. Car accidents are a trigger for most PTSD sufferers. You are okay and most importantly your son is okay. Snap back into reality. ;)

I feel nauseas, dazed, confused, scared, worn-out. Also, wishful and with some courage.

I am overwhelmed and letting little things get to me. I tried applying for jobs earlier and things went wrong with the computer so I couldn't. I'm freaking out about not being able to find a job. It's just a bad day- it will pass.

I've been so incredibly hardworking today and even in spite of how I felt as the morning began. Today, much of my work and use of talent motivated me and lifted my attitude and mood anyhow. Last night I had cried myself to sleep. It was very abruptly painful. It is so hard to accept hardworking efforts which get undermined and controlled by life and through influences for which I am not in control.

Once again, I feel very tired, depleted of energy and incapable of much thought.
