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

[Deleted member 12723]

I feel anxious about selling my home in a quick time. I am tired of paying the electricity and space rent. I am feeling anxious about my daughters home going into foreclosure and where we will end up. I am glad the abusive boyfriend of my daughter moved out. It is so peaceful around here.

I feel stable/grounded.

I heard back from the guy I had seen a few times. I, or the connection between us, overwhelmed him. It certainly overwhelmed me! But I've settled down.

He needs time to process and focus on some other things in his life. (I do too!)

I'm not going to push; I won't initiate contact. I'm just going to take care of myself. What will be, will be.

@gizmo - It was cathartic for me to hear you guys threw the bum out. I love it. I love you have a peaceful environment now.

Your realtor may or may not advise you that if you list your place for a little under what you hope for, it might set off a bidding war and then you get more than you hoped for. It moves quicker then too. This doesn't always happen, but often. Something to consider. You may know much more than me so feel free to ignore!

I feel hungover from too little sleep too many nights in a row with too much anticipatory excitement. I think I will lay low tonight.

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.

Heya Briff.f7 I am not so good with the emotional regulation and managing the illness/depression thing, so I am on my L plates with this stuff. I am thinking though you could stop beating yourself up and judging yourself as worthless.

Perhaps read up on some mindfulness stuff for 10 minutes (less or more given your concentration levels) and give yourself a break. You are learning to tell the difference between depression and illness. This will take time. So kindness and compassion for yourself today.

Given the huge strides you have made in going out and about attending so many of your kid's activities, perhaps you can give yourself a day off or a few hours off or ten minutes off depending on how the intrusive thoughts or rumination is going.

You are doing well - that doesn't mean you won't have some lower days or bad days. It is what it is.

I am only learning this stuff for myself at the moment. So ignore if not useful.

Thank you Ms Spock. I find that helpful. I have my Buddy, terrier mix, here to make me think of her and get loving from her. I had contact with another friend today and did a little yoga(very little) and that seemed to help. You have reminded me to read the inspirational book that I bought and haven't opened as of yet. It's on my tablet and I keep forgetting as it is by my bedside. I will read that tonight too.

Thank you for reminding me of what I have accomplished. I haven't been getting out as much and I do believe it is effecting me in a negative way. I plan on working on that this week. Thank you. :hug:

Oh we all forget our successes @Britt.f7. It is easy to do.

Feeling massive anxiety. Have to pull it together and leave the house.

Super stuffed from spaghetti again. I been lovin' the pasta as of late.

Feeling competent, but hyper vigilance is ever in the background.

Going to watch My Fair Lady if I can sit still. No bad triggers in that one.

I'm feeling very unstable now and full of emotions. I thought I was feeling stable and pretty much processed stuff re: the guy that dumped me on Friday, then basically emailed this morning saying he needed time to think and was possibly reconsidering.

I was fine after I got his email because I've been overwhelmed by the connection between us also and I too need time to think about stuff. But :poop: now I'm like a loony. I had three hysterical laughing fits that came out of nowhere, bawled a little, and now I'm just really pissed off / very angry :devilish: Anxiety level is way up :eek: My stomach feels sea sick :sour: I want to disassociate and go numb! :O_o:

I am feeling physically rough as my blood sugar spiked to over 300 this evening (at least I am guessing that is why I feel so bad) and due to that, I am anxious to see the doctor on Thursday. I am worried about my health and felt so bad earlier tonight, that I was prepared to go to the hospital to get checked out (and still might).

 

[DMerish]

@Lionheart777 - So sorry this is going on . . . :nailbiting:
Can you call your doctor - check in with him/her over the phone to get advice whether they think you should go to the hospital?

@Lionheart777 - So sorry this is going on . . . :nailbiting:
Can you call your doctor ...?

Thank you so much!!!!

I got violently ill at my tummy awhile ago and I feel much better now, but if the symptoms return, I will try to reach my doctor or call for an ambulance so I can get checked out. There is an ambulatory center close by that can see me and they would be the ones to help decide if I needed to be transported to the next city over for hospitalization.

@Lionheart777 - I wish you felt better. Are you dehydrated after tummy trouble? My hubby was losing consciousness once and we went to ER and his blood sugar was super high tho not as high as yours. He was dehydrated. After I have tummy trouble, I have to have Gatorade to put right the electrolytes. But I know you have more physical conditions than just GI stuff. Hope you feel better.

I feel a little yucky after "nap" that went too long and into REM stage. Trauma dreams. Yech. Feel deadened, but know I am fundamentally a okay and this will pass.
