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

[ms spock]

A combination of dead tired, and relentlessly anxious. A lot of flashbacks are coming up at once right now. Every time I feel more desperate I feel more anxious because I feel I'm that much closer to losing it and going to a hospital.

Really good awareness.

Do you have breathing and ground exercises to do to settle you down?

Can you read a book, have a bath, watch a dvd and distract yourself in a self soothing way.

I am scared, then shaky, then a bit brave, then emotional, then burning in my neck, then scared again.

I have a lot of irrational childhood distorted thinking to break down and get on top of and I do want to do this. I am finding it hard to manage.

I'm feeling okay and for today okay is acceptable.

I am not sure what has been going on with me the last few days. I just don't feel like me. I need to try to figure it out.

Also a little overwhelmed with how avoidant I am. Other people just amaze me and it makes it ashamed of how little I seem to be able to face. I have it easy in comparison to so many here.

@Abstract , we all deal with our PTSD, at different speeds and ways. What is right for me, may be wrong for you. Please be gentle on yourself, as you walk your path of healing.

Am feeling anxious and scared, about my upcoming first art therapy session, this afternoon. Finding it hard to concentrate on anything beyond a few minutes. Sigh.

I'm headed back to work today after holiday vacation. I'm feeling good, energetic, and focused. I realized I need the outside influence to make me focused. I wish I was more inwardly focused, had more self-descipline, and didn't depend on outside influences to get me to do things.

Besides, I like having all the holiday decorations sparkle up my home :p they make me feel happy :playful: Yes, yes, that's true. :rolleyes: But I gotta be an adult :eek: and take them down :( so my home looks special next year :cool:

Screw next year! Enjoy your decorations for as long as you like, that's what I say. ;) We had two trees this year... so we took one down and left the other one, the smaller one, up. :D I love the lights and the ornaments and everything. I might leave this tree up all year! LOL! :laugh: Love the new avatar! What a beautiful dog! :joyful:

I feel really, really scared.

I'm so sorry! Lots of :hug: if you'd like them. Take care and I hope you feel better soon.

What am a feeling today? :cautious:

My neck hurts. :dead: I'm hungry. :hungry: I'm filled with regret over mistakes I've made in the past. :wtf: I'm all flipped out because I feel so calm and zen and balanced. :wacky: What's with this normal shit? I don't like it! I hate not knowing how I'm going to feel or if I am actually feeling what I'm feeling or if this feeling is going to last. I feel like I know too much and I should forget, but I'm terrified of forgetting everything I know. I feel like I have to worry and try to control everything, while at the same time it's all pointless... nothing is within my control, I just have to watch life unfold. :confused: It's like walking on a tightrope... it seems like my path is determined and straight... but it's so fraught with peril, at any moment it could be a fast fall to the right or to the left. I hate not being able to trust myself! Hate it! :mad:

So, um. That's how I'm feeling. There's not much I can do about all that, besides going and getting something to eat... so that's what I'm going to do. :unsure: I'm thinking I'll make some Grandma tea, too... tea the way my Gram used to make it for me when I was a little girl, with tons of milk and lots of sugar. :coffee:

Pain. I'm in a lot of pain with the bursitis in my hip and my sacroiliac joint which effects the same hip and surrounding area that the bursitis is in. So walking and sitting are painful. I'm frustrated because I have errands to run and I can't. I have to find a way to sit and keep my hip immobilized.

Extremely sad, worthless, defeated, suicidal.

I'm feeling somewhat positive, or is it hope?... Not sure. I read one of my inspirational quotes for the day. Haven't done that in ages. It was about finding joy. Sometime's I feel that elusive emotion. Not now, but I am hoping, and working, towards that.

 

[Britt.f7]

@anonymous I am sorry that you feel that way. No one should feel that way, but I find, most of us on here have at one time or another. I know I have. Please don't give up.

Pissed, closed down, sad,

Very stressed. But calming down and becoming more grounded.
