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

Not sure, if this need for sleep, is the by-product of being depressed, or my sleep debt being paid back. For the third night, I got least 6 straight hours of sleep. Only to wake up, feeling emotionally and physically drained of energy. The simple act of cleaning the litter box, has taxed to me, to the point of, wanting to crash out for another 6 hours, in my bed. And yes, I don't want to eat, but not sure, if this is my depression talking or my inactivity. Just once, I want to have, what most people call a "normal day", without any complication, whether from physical or mental health issues.
 
I am burned out at every level.

Just exhausted. When I wake up with weak hands, it's my body's metaphor for very low strength.

Pain in my tongue gone. It's still thick. I sound like Bogart a little.

Also got a slight skin rash which has traditionally been indicative of great stress for me. Toxic stuff needs to be released.

I have to go back and catch up with how everyone is doing.

Hugs to all.
 
Feeling content from eating a toasted egg sandwich before, and getting a protein fix. Eggs always fill me up perfectly.
I am feeling very relaxed and almost sleepy from listening to some beautiful music on you tube designed to heal through vibrations. It's only been about 4 minutes and already I feel like I'm gonna pass out. :D

I feel much better than I did last night, that's for sure.
 
My feelings of despair have lifted quite a lot. I have felt almost normal this afternoon. I even made brief eye contact at the checkout.

Tonight, however, I feel angry. Mainly at my husband, who complains about everything, and is looking for reasons not to take our son to play in an elite sporting competition that he was scouted for (after one game mind you). He doesn't like putting himself out - it is a couple of hours of inconvenience, one day a week. He's brought our son down from exhuberance at being picked to play in a high level league (at only 16), to feeling defeated and uncared for. And this from a man that believes you should encourage sporting prowess. Wow. I won't let my son miss this opportunity and be brought down.
 
I feel at ease with myself today. Yesterday was a sleep day due to my chronic illness. It is relieving to not feel it was my depression. This is life, at least my life. I am learning to live with it. Do what I can when I can. It's okay. I have people around me who cut me more slack then I do myself. Perhaps if I let up on myself I wouldn't end up so depressed. Just a thought.
