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

[macca]

My feeling "normal" is being sustained somehow. It's this thing that happens to me occasionally - I've woken up to a different version of me, the "adult" and "normal" one. I realise now that I've been driven by my split off 3 year old for the last 6 months. At least, I think so, though I need to have a good discussion with my T. She's certain I have a split off part of myself, and now I can really see it.

Feeling better.

Spoke too soon perhaps. The depression and anxiety are starting to come in and settle again, like a fog rolling in.

Tired. My magic glasses increase in weight all day so by one in the morning, it's like I am balancing a couple pounds on the bridge of my nose. I guess I am like The Princess and The Pea, or that's what mom said when I couldn't sleep anymore in high school.

@macca - If I could I would blow that fog of depression back out to harbor. Hugs.

And hugs to everyone else.

Somewhat lost, but not horribly. I really need to find myself. I'm trying not to beat up on me for my physical appearance. I really am pushing away the depression. Trying to at least.

So far so good, another night of fairly decent sleep and I'm not too worried about anything. Got some awesome reassurance last night. I've been pretty tense trying to get my place tidy enough to avoid the usual harsh criticism and outright insults when my parents bring over some furniture. My sweetie mentioned how much I've gotten done. Still not sure when it'll happen, but it'll be a lot easier to brush it off as their habitual negativity if they say anything about my housekeeping skills. My house is much cleaner than the one I grew up in.

I feel guilty for not going to church. I just didn't have it in me to get up and shower and face all the people. I just got on computer and started browsing. I love that I found this site. Still haven't done an intro just not ready but it sure is nice to all the hugs and understanding.

I feel a sense of inner serenity. I am relieved to have a break from the cacophony.

Dear @Ninja , I was going to say I feel a quiet peacefulness, but 'serenity' is a good word too. Thank you. :hug: Because I think I am learning a little bit more. :notworthy:

Lets see...started the day massively stressed. Went into sort of shutdown mode. Went to church where guest minister from divinity school gave a great sermon about how we cannot do anything in this world alone but must learn to trust in others for support, felt compelled to bring several children home with me from church so my daughter would have something to do, and am now intensely annoyed that my husband has invited two people I do not like for drinks and is waiting for me to come downstairs and be social. So...what do I WANT to do? Finish my new poem. What do I feel COMPELLED to do? Go down, pour a drink, and make conversation with people. What is wrong with me? Why can't I just say no?

Excited because I know my husband will be home in about 20 minutes or so. I've hung on all day and done fairly well. I feel I can really relax once he is around. Even if I have been relaxing all day. It is just a feeling of comfort I get when he is home.

I feel happy and complacently - I cooked a very yummy lentils / millet casserole with vegetables and meat in it. Even my 2 cheeky dogs were begging to get some food from the casserole...:happy:
