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

I am feeling pretty good. For now this very moment all is well and normal. I cannot believe that my life is starting to balance out.

I am actually feeling pretty good right now! I am feeling grateful for my job, my home, my friends, and for the progress that's been made in my healing.

I am feeling a little bit alone in a couple of areas, but I'm hopeful because it seems as though there will be opportunities to share those things with others and invite them into it with me soon- people that have held me during physical flashbacks, listened to my story, loved me even when I shared the ugliest things in my heart.

I am feeling a bit of worry and anxiety, but mostly this has been a good day and I am feeling grateful!!!

I am also feeling really grateful for the people of this forum because I know that I am not the sharpest tool in the shed and yet, when I try to contribute something of value to threads that I read, I am welcomed and seem to be understood, or at least tolerated. ;)

I am not so sure about my brain sometimes, but I am pretty sure my heart is in the right place and everyone here has been really kind, compassionate and supportive, so I want to say thank you!!!

I woke up feeling somewhat energetic (for me) and happy, until I got downstairs and realized my 18 year old son did not go into school yet again. I'm trying not to let his decisions effect me horribly but it is rather difficult. I'm so worried about him. The anxiety it causes is horrible. I'm so afraid he is sabotaging his future. Did my illness teach him this behavior? I'm so uncertain right now. I just have to hang on.

I feel uneasy and tired...

Hopeful and nervous. I see a new therapist today, my first time seeing a trauma therapist. I never would have made this appointment had it not been for you all so:hug:.

I am also a little worried about the drive. It is 1 1/2 drive. I don't like having that much time alone with my thoughts. I think I will be fine on the drive there, but I am worried about the drive home and what my emotional state will be on the way home.

Feeling emotionally battered, tired, tearful, all the negatives I thought I was getting over just smacked me in the face today. I'm hungry but don't want to eat, tired but can't sleep, tearful but can't seem to cry. I just don't want to be here anymore, I don't want to be me.

It does get better over time and working on your own issues notsurewheretoturn. I remember the self loathing. If you do not give up on yourself and keep on seeking the truth, you will become real and no more self hate. Hugs.[DOUBLEPOST=1400701507][/DOUBLEPOST]I am feeling so good today. My spirits are lifted. I am so happy.

I feel empty, so empty, and angry, crying inside, its raining in there you know?

@Alfred.Greene I know what it is like to be "raining inside" and I hope you feel better soon!!!

I am physically sore all over my body, (I have fibromyalgia), but I am learning that if I don't stay in one position too long I can avoid some of the more serious pain.

Mentally and emotionally, I am doing really well. I told my F.B. friends and family how much they mean to me this morning and it brought me a great sense of inner peace and personal freedom.

I am also learning to give myself credit and recognition for the healing I have done over the past 14 years. I have been at it hard and I have had a lot of success and progress, especially during the past few years. I feel validated and empowered.

Drained but peaceful.

Happy my son made it to school today. I think today is going to be a sleep day though, which isn't good, but I feel it is needed. I was hoping the medicine would take away these days. Little disappointed that they have not been eradicated.
