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

(((bigs hugs for everyone who likes hugs)))

I'm all triggered and bracing for a few days more of it. Dad 'bulled up' when I was over for supper, snapping at mom but it still sets me off. Lately it seems like she's getting a better understanding of what's going on with me- I was having such a hard time holding together and not running out of the house that I couldn't look her in the eye. Dad's coming over a few days this week to finish up repairs for the inspection. I won't even bother with trying to sleep tonight. I'll be too tense, trying to think of all the things he might blow up over that I can prevent. I'll even try to ignore how wrong it is that I have to do that.
 
I'm feeling so many things, it's hard to keep up and not just settle on numb and tired. I'm embarrassed about a problem I talked to my T about Friday, we meet again today. I'm sad how hard my memories and stress level is to deal with lately. I'm stressed at how busy my schedule is and that my mother's coming to stay for a week on Friday. I'm mad at my husband, who's mad at me. Sigh.
 
Today I feel a lot better. Had to go to work early this morning as the car cleaner and property valuer were coming to do some work. Only had 45 minutes notice, jumped out of bed got dressed and left in a hurry.

Ended up having McDonald's for breakfast, which is definitely not me. Been busy all day and managed the day without any problems. Only needed one lot of pain killers. Went outside a little while ago and looked at the super moon, which is still very bright and beautiful. As I stood there gazing at it, I realised just how wonderful it is to be alive.

Sending :hug:'s to all that need them.
 
Feeling very triggered and uneasy today. I am filled with an itch to escape. To escape from what, I'm not sure. Everything just feels wrong today. Everything in me feels wrong. Everything around me feels wrong. I am right on the edge of panic.

While scrolling through tumblr, explicit pictures concerning sex came up on my dash and I was instantly filled with a sense of dread. The dread felt so intense that I thought I was going to be sick. The back of my throat felt tight. It still feels tight, like there's something in there, obstructing it. Just thinking about sex makes me feel very on edge and dirty. Makes me feel very nauseous. Makes me feel repulsive.

I just feel really wrong and unsafe in my own skin. I feel like I need to get out of my skin, to shed it and run away to safety.
