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

[roaminggnome]

I'm feeling tired and a little lost. Maybe it is the change in medication dosages that is knocking me out cold for so many hours or maybe just plain old depression is doing the trick. I slept for another 14 hours again. This is not good. I had no nightmares this time which is good.

Still not sleeping well and feeling a bit down. I'm going to try doing some crafty fun stuff before "t-time" this afternoon and see if that helps.

I'm feeling as if everything can go right with me if I try harder. Trying to get some motivation to get some things done today. Not feeling it.

I've not been around for a while, I've been busy with my art but I haven't deserted the fort!

I'm have been having problems with the anaemia and have just been recalled by my doctor to discuss my latest DEXA scan (Deep penetrating bone x-ray for bone density). I am tried and achy but my PTSD is quiet so that is a relief.

I had to take my son for a counselling appointment today. He was panicking and very anxious before we went and he started to cry in the car which set me off we drove there through the tears. No good parent wants to see their kids upset, no matter how old they are (21 in this case).

The lady he is seeing says she is a CBT therapist and not a counsellor (so she says) but my son does not think she can help him. But I feel annoyed as today (appointment 2) she asked my son was his mother 'mollycoddling' him as I took him there in the car and waited 1 1/4 hours for him; she said that I wasn't helping him by taking him as he needed to do things for himself. Not only is his mental health poor at the moment but he is Aspergic (he's 21). I get fed up of health professionals blaming me for my son's problems when I have raised them so well despite my PTSD and other health problems. My son told her that she was wrong and he came away not knowing what to think. She does not know me or my situation and as a therapist she should not make such judgements. I would rather have my son see my therapist so I am going to see if I can arrange something.

Good for you Cath. I think another therapist would be great. What a nervy person who is speculating and planting assumptions in your sons mind. Parents like you are rare so keep on fighting the good fight.

I hope the health problems get sorted out for you. Hugs.

I am trying to have a good day and I feel ok. Lots of emotion came up yesterday and I was really angry and this day I am just trying to be more accepting of it. I have help and support and that makes me feel pretty good.

Busy day. Dropped Papa Bear at respite. Went for a boogie board. Went shopping. Had a flat tire. Then cooked a chocolate cake. Then got food ready - nibblies and dips and chips for meeting at 4pm. Then made them all pancakes with sweet and savoury options. Then cleaned up. Meeting lasted 6 hours. Papa Bear was cantankerous and I actually argued with him tonight. Ususally I distract. Cat caught native species was cranky about that will make cat, cat run. Tired now.

I am having a good day so far. I am feeling good. My spirits are up despite some nightmares. I got through it though. And am wondering how long it takes my new medication to be effective because I am feeling better. So I think that it is kicking in. I think I figured out why I was sleeping for so many hours at night. I think it's either allergies or I'm getting sick.

Before I got out of bed this morning I told myself that today is going to be a good day. I'm really going to try and make it that way. Yesterday ended up being a sleep day and later on I got sick, so housework didn't get done. I'm not going to beat myself up for that. I will just see what today brings. Tummy is still a little queasy. It would make my husband so happy if I clean. Motivation needed.

I'm absurdly giddy. Today I woke to a phone call from Social Security. They needed to re-check some details because my appeal has been approved! I've been fighting to get this since 2011, if my knees weren't so sore I'd do the 'happy dance' all day.

Apprehensive and tired, haven't been sleeping well at all.

Moving house in a couple of days and everyone is getting on my nerves, I'm even getting on my own nerves. I can feel the pressure building. I know the move is more than necessary, but still have so much to do...

 

[fly away home]

I'm feeling teary and sad.

Everything is at a distance and its too far to reach.

My world is shutting down around me and I know I am to blame.

But through this it is nice to actually feel something even if it is regret and guilt, loss and grief.

It beats blank.

Spideralis congratulations on winning. I can celebrate this with you. This is the greatest news. I am so happy for you.

Today has been a mixed bag of emotions.

I grieved with my daughter because her cat had a dangerous disease and had to have emergency surgery and they saved her cat but she has to stay in the hospital overnight.

I am happy because we are planning another trip to Disneyland and we will eat dinner at the Pirates of the Carribean.
I am happy because we all pulled together as a family and really bonded with each other. I feel so great about that.
