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

[BlackbirdSinging]

Angry. So angry. Invalidated. Minimized. Silenced. Frustrated. Impatient.

My sciatica was a tiny bit better today. I got a good sleep night's sleep with the help of the pain Rx and also had a dream. In it, I was an old lady, hunched over, and shuffle/walking with the help of a walker as I looked down seeing the grey sidewalk pass below my feet. The sun was shinning and I realized I must look up, or at lease in front of me and around me. I pulled my chin up and it put a smile on my face. My attitude was much better today. Life's okay.

Waiting for the sun to rise and listening to the rain. Trying to get my head in a place where I know what I need and want to do. Part of me just wants to crawl back in bed and hide under the covers. Struggling with what I think I need to do and what I want to do. Next few days will be tough, but I have faced more difficult obstacles. Just think I am worn out and worn down by tackling so many. I really just want a break. :(

I'm still feeling somewhat without hope. Definitely on the depressed side. Trying to get myself up and going just so I don't sit here and mope. I spent yesterday sleeping. I need to get back to what the therapist said and get out at least once a day. I haven't been doing that for a few days now and it shows.

so that the disso doesnt come back again

For a second I thought you wrote "disco" :rolleyes::laugh:. I had images of you being haunted by disco tunes Nadia. There's maybe even a disco music phobia out there, you never know.

@Ninja , I think you can just tell them how a disability affects your ability to study, i.e. why it is a good idea for you to have extra time. You don't need to tell them the emotional or otherwise reasons for illnesses, it is more the impact a disability has on your learning. Does that make sense? You can disclose PTSD, but I don't think you would need to disclose why. I mean, they surely wouldn't ask such personal questions like that when they would have evidence from a medical person confirming that is your diagnosis? (using this as an example Ninja, as I don't know your illnesses/diagnoses, sorry) I hope I'm understanding you right. I also think as long as your illnesses are ones that are recognised, you won't need to worry about eligibility if they are the reasons your ability to study is impacted upon. Phew, that is wordy. Good luck with the university stuff :).

@DMerish , I'm giggling so much from the pain scale :happy:.

I think my brain may explode from all the learning. In this thread alone, I was immediately looking up Craniosacral Therapy (I'm glad that's helping @franciemarnie ) and binaural beats (also glad that is helping @D123 ). I hadn't heard of either of them. I want to read more about them both, but I'm experiencing brain overload.

I feel a lot better physically today; I still feel exhausted, but the virus is passing.

Emotionally I feel okay. I love this feeling. I wish I could bottle this feeling so I had a supply for the bad times.

I was present for almost the whole of therapy. I listened to the T and I was honest. I think having a hat to hold and fidget about with helped - maybe a grounding thing? I realise I'm going into thoughts, rather than feelings, so I will be quiet for now. It is good when you have a good day though. I'm sending healing vibes which specifically target the wanting to hide in bed all day feeling through the magical computer box for those not having good days.

Tired and frustrated, as I overslept, when I had plans for a very personal trip, to visit my dad's gravesite. Won't be going today, as I will be running into rushhour traffic, on the several transit systems, I have to take, on my way back home. And still way too anxious, for the good of my health.

 

[roaminggnome]

I feel confused. I started a new medication yesterday and as a result had pressure in my head the whole day as a side effect. I'm confused about if I should take any more of this medication. I'm waiting on a return call from the doctor's office.

 

[CraftyCath]

I don't feel too bad. Time of the month though, I thought they'd stopped so I'm a bit disappointed. :(

Mute. Strange. 70% foggy. But fairly calm. (almost sounds like the weather forecast.. )

 

[Red Feather]

I am feeling grateful. W took me out to the movies, and it was fun. And going to the day center is turning out to be a good thing.

 

[Britt.f7]

I'm feeling better having gotten out and accomplished a few things. I saved some to do tomorrow, so that I have another reason to get out.

 

[therisa]

Am feeling more grounded, after an afternoon nap, with my cats.
