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

@macca - I thought that too about your mother's response. Why avoid answering a simple non-loaded question unless it is a loaded memory or subject for her? That kind of cinched it for me - her avoidance told volumes.

@Ms Spock - wishing you gentle breezes of serenity.

I am feeling better physically. I've been doing kitten breaths for a couple days. Tiny inhales and exhales. No tummy breathing. Shallow chest only. Did lots of deep breathing and watched light Tom Hanks movie. Now comes the sleep prospect. Oy.

Physically I am a wreck, but mentally and emotionally I feel happy and care-free, which quite frankly surprises me.

I feel like a ton of weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and the only thing I can think of that has changed is that I am no longer ill with the flu, (although I am having problems related to diabetes), so I am not sure what is up. I find it is best not to question it too much and to just enjoy it while it lasts.

Caught some classy waves. I feel pleased. I caught three waves into the beach where the waves broke on the sand. Great to get out of the house.

 

[franciemarnie]

@Ms Spock - I wish I were in the ocean catching waves. Cool.

I feel good, maybe even excited re doing something I've wanted to do for literally 50 years. Feels a little unreal. Wonder what effect this will have on my core self. Coming thru for me sort of. Yay!

@Ninja - I hope you feel better. Being sick drags me down mentally, etc. Maybe consider throwing in some garlic supplements? Natural anti-biotics that won't hurt your natural anti-bodies.

@Lionheart777 - Enjoy your wellbeing! Hooray!

So much emotion.

@Ms Spock - Wishing you peace, calmness and serenity.

3am where I am . . . awake because of funky tummy . . . I feel that I've processed being dumped two days ago and learned a few things from the experience. Perhaps the funky tummy is a sign that I'm now digesting everything and preparing to eliminate any unnecessary residue . . . I know, probably used a bad analogy, eh?

Besides the funky tummy, I'm very tired but can't sleep.

Squeamish. I was just looking to find the area to sign up to become a Premium Member and came across a thread that talked about post automatically being uploaded to myptsd FaceBook and Twitter accounts. I'll have to do a bit more research . . .

I'm grateful. Yesterday was better. I'm so glad I was able to get some relief. Today I'm exhausted. But I'm still grateful.

I've spent most of my last few days in bed. I've been so tired lately. Hard to explain really. Don't know if the exhaustion is coming from my physical illness or my depression or a bit of both. I do know it is contributing to my depression. I'm going to have to start fighting it. I'm feeling worthless.

 

[franciemarnie]

@Britt.f7 - You are exhausted. Can you keep resting or is that bothering you too much? I hope you don't have anemia or something.

I am as per ush lately too pooped to pop. 4 restless hours of sleep after a slew of nights of same. But excited like a kid about creative project coming into fruition. Possible work- out to shake out keyed-up ness, then nap.

Happy but getting dangerously fatigued. Cumulative.

 

[Britt.f7]

@franciemarnie I think it is the physical illness I have with my autonomic system. However, it drags on my mental system too. I'm fighting it this morning. I tried a little, I mean very little, yoga this morning. I think that helped.

Get your rest. That is important so you can enjoy your project! Sounds exciting.

 

[franciemarnie]

I feel good. Worked off a lot of nervous energy with work out. I realize that I may have emotional backlash from bringing dream to reality after decades of self destruction and self burial. But now I know so much more. My sleep may be lousy for a while, but it will be worth it.

Feel too alert, senses too acute for comfort. Will try engrossing movie for neural pathway switch. Meditation later.
