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

[Abstract]

Hugs to all that need them.

I woke with that internal quivering happening and could not stop it. Heart thumping. Felt very vulnerable and exposed and like i could not cope with seeing people. Had to drag myself to work. Feeling a little better this evening.

Philippa, So sorry. I really struggled today too. These days putting a mask on to survive at work feels like a type of self betrayal.

I was exhausted but good until now. My mom is in the intensive care unit and just called for us to come get her. She believes that the nurses are trying to kill her. I don't know what is going on. If it is all the medication she is on or worse yet something like dementia. My heart is breaking either way. I'm worried, crying, and at a loss of what to do. I feel lost.

I'm worried, crying, and at a loss of what to do. I feel lost.

Standing by you, linking arms. It's a hard, very hard moment for you now. You are right about the medication, that will do that at times. I will light a candle for you, the Light will take some of the stress off your shoulders and help you see solutions and not just the problem. Gentle hugs out your way.

Feeling stressed, can't sleep ... I was talking to JM's sister when she got the call to hurry up and go see JM as it was THAT time, so I know that he is dying. He was/is a good cancer mentor to and for me. I can better deal with my different relationships. The only hic is that PTSD doesn't seem to make the difference between the anxiety and stress of cancer and those of PTSD. It's like my brain feels it and sends the message in the wrong box - into the PTSD box - so now I'm dealing with intrusive thoughts, needing to dissociate and isolate. :arghh;

Healing vibes through the internet to those who feel lonely or ignored today :hug:.

I feel: exhausted, stressed, anxious, aching. I also feel hope for the near future.

My first totally pain free morning in years, thanks to new medication (Lyrica). It really eases off the stress to finally be treated for chronic pain. I slept soundly and feel refreshed, (which is really unusual for me). I couldn't be much happier!!! It is such a relief. I feel as if a huge weight has been lifted.

I feel so grateful and thankful for my professional support team (doctors and therapist etc.) and of course, my wonderful forum friends. Everyone here has been so supportive, understanding and compassionate. I could not ask for better friends!!! Thank you for being there for me through difficult times!!! I count you among my many blessings.

Much love and healing for all who are struggling today.

My friend JM is still battling - we don't know what's keeping him here. My anxiety is high.

Is it my calcium levels? Is it my iron levels? Is it my heart? Is it just the menopause? Or something else entirely?

I hope you get things sorted out soon Cath. Just don't let them tell you its your age. I get fed up of hearing that one.

At the moment I'm frustrated. It really frustrates me and makes me angry when people who don't understand aspects of depression say things like "how do you know?". It's really hard for me to not be a smartmouth and say "how do you not know?". It's not appropriate to blast people in that way just because they said something that made me angry but man it's my first reaction and it takes so much effort to not go there. And yet sometimes I do. Thankfully I didn't this time. I get it that people just aren't going to get it. But now I'm just frustrated.

Froggie,
Thanks for your support. The nurse thinks that she is confused due to total sleep deprivation.
I just read your posts and am sending hugs and warm thoughts your way. I am so sorry about your friend. My heart really goes out to you.
Laurie

I feel .... sad. I'm having issues with an ex contacting me. I have a lot of unresolved feelings from the break up.

I am feeling good, trying to stay relaxed. Not to think something very heavy or which would give me more stress.
