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

[Anrish]

I feel misunderstood.

I was so proud that I went to the Middle Ages festival close by. The many people and all the noise still frighten me and it's always a 50/50-chance whether I can enjoy it or break down. I was there and it was fine. I was able to order some food and drinks. I even asked some more questions concerning the size of some band shirts and I was brave enough to ask my favourite drummer and vocalist if they take pictures with me. It was fine for me as it was....

When I told my mother about the weekend, she just asked "Is there any opportunity to get to know new people on these events?". Maybe, I don't know. Most people go there with friends and it's hard to get in contact when they already move in groups. And even if not...I'm not good at talking with strangers. I rather watch and leave...I never know what to talk about.

I was so proud of what I did during the last weekend and my mother's question turned it all down - and I feel like a social loser again.

I feel pretty good today, yet I am tired and exhausted. I feel like having a take it easy today and we are going to eat take out tonight.

Feeling pain and guilt

Disgusted, revolted, repulsed...

So much anxiety right now. I'm so anxious about finding work before rent is due in a week! I'm worried I won't and will have to go back to my old job, but she has no work for me now anyway, and I didn't get my old job at the call centre back as I'd hoped, so now I'm doing my best to find whatever work I can find, and on monday will go to centrelink and ask for assistance with income to at least have something coming in while i look.

The guy who was meant to be coming over for a massage today couldn't make it, so that's $80 I won't be seeing. I have $40 to last me until next week and that needs to go towards rent. It's my third day eating spaghetti and porridge, as there is very little else in the cupboard, so hopefully something comes up soon, and someone decides to hire me.

I'm not enjoying this anxiety right now though. I feel a little relieved to be venting it here, which is good. I spoke into my worry dolls last night, which really helped a lot and brought a lot of relief...I can see they will be my new regular conversation buddies for the next week if something doesn't show up.

I'm so sick of worrying about money and stressing about whether I'll be able to make rent or not. I'm over it.

Terrified to anything and everything.......................

I feel calm and it is weird. I just started taking Depakote for my Bipolar Disorder and it is calming me down. I'm feeling terrified of the possible side effects. I've only read negative comments online about Depakote but it is helping me. So I guess underneath it all I'm feeling scared.

I feel burnt out, broken and hopeless. And so tired.

I woke up not feeling well about being up. It took a little while, but my mood came around and now I am feeling fine.

I am feeling good in spite of and no matter what new stresses have popped up in our lives.

In this moment, (that I am resting within) I feel content.
