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

[Britt.f7]

I am better then yesterday. Mentally that is. My cold is still hanging on and I am feeling irritated by that.

@Britt.f7 - to your cold I say, Out damn cold! Now! Colds for sure bring our energy way down and we're drained enough by PTSD as it is. I hope it's term of residency is almost up!

Not sure how I feel. I am not particularly sad or angry - my two biggies. Tired of course but I did sleep fairly well with the lights on. Somewhat hopeful and optimistic.

Anxiety has passed. Now I feel a little depressed, angry, unsure, worried...need to let go of worry, it doesn't serve me. Fragile, like I'm plunging into a dark mood and I feel a bit helpless to stop it, and part of me doesn't want to. It's a comfort almost.

I'm feeling sort of tired but basically okay. :joyful: I think I'm underestimating how tired still being sick with this cold is making me. Unfortunately... you can't just pretend you don't have a cold and continue with life as normal... believe me, I've been trying all week. ;)

Dear @Lionheart777 and @Britt.f7 and @EverOnly358 and @Philippa and all, I hope you will feel better soon. Dear Philippa, try not to let your mind's thoughts pull you in. :( (((((((((((Philippa)))))))))))))

Terrific accomplishment @Ms Spock ! :tup: :hug: HUGE. :)

Dear LH, I have had a different but similar experience lately, getting very ill really horrendously messes with my mind and heart. :( Not sure if I caused it or it dove-tailed with a very bad flu too. Triggers triggers triggers. I, too, am so grateful for more peace.

I am thankful for a lot of things, but the increased peacefulness is super nice. I think it came with a reduction in self hatred and pressure, (and I just found out my first call is cancelled so I'm having a coffee!! Bonus. Whew. :) )

Hugs to all.

I'm feeling angry at myself. I'm feeling emotionally retarded, unsure of myself, scared, lonely even though I'm surrounded by others. I'm feeling spread too thin, I'm feeling weak, shameful, unworthy and reprehensible.

Did I mention I was brave today?

You did so well. Be very proud of yourself.

I will have a rest, do some housework and prepare supper.

All accomplished to a degree. I still had the washing to put onto radiators (saves using the tumble drier) and my grocery order to put away. Bless him, Hubby arrived home and immediately helped so we could sit down together and relax:inlove:.

Today I am feeling better. Well, it is Friday and even better it is payday. I am feeling much calmer, I think because I have my man home. I am always on edge when he is away. He is away again next week, but I won't think about that.

Very dissociated most of today, still having aftereffects from EMDR.

@Miss_Understood I'm sorry you are feeling so rotten right now. Hugs if that's ok. :hug:

Do some self care and try not to push yourself. I know how draining it is, so allow yourself time and if needed, speak to your therapist.

Feel glad I went out with a friend. Had to fight the intrusive thinking and distorted thinking so much but by the end of the night they had stopped. It was quite an achievement. I wish I could have got it under control sooner so I could have enjoyed more of the night but really I got there in the end and that was great.

 

[franciemarnie]

@Ms Spock - So glad the end of your night was good. Triumph!

I am still up at 8:30 am. Bummer man. Tired. Somatic pain every which way. Not so optimistic when exhausted. It colors everything. But feel good that usual obsessive thought that comes with fatigue is missing. Mind okay, just physically uncomfortable. Need release.

What am I feeling today? :cautious:

Well... I didn't fall asleep until 2:30am and then I woke up from nightmares at 7:30am. Bummer. :unsure: I took a nap from 1:00pm to 3:00pm while the kids were out with their friends (my husband drove them), so well... I felt a bit better, but I hate it when my sleep schedule starts going to hell. :confused: Hoping to get some good rest tonight. :joyful:
