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

I'm feeling lackadaisical. I am wishing for the motivation to start wrapping presents again today. I only have the Santa ones left, but I have wrapped so many I'm tired.

I am feeling some encouragement that my pain and exhaustion will be improving. Recent medical tests have diagnosed Fibromyalgia and Hypothyroidism. I have started on Meds for Fibromyalgia and will start on meds for Hypothyroidism after my surgery. I am hopeful of good results from meds and from knee replacement. Choosing to think the cup is half full!!!!

I'm still feeling my best friend around me - even if she's 250 km away.

I'm feeling tired but also full of energy because of the aggressive music which makes me feel like I have a heart beat.

I feel so good right now and I have spent a week dealing with cutting a so called friend out of my life. I feel I am over the hump of the grieving process now but I am now missing my husbands comforting arms. So I feel sad as well as good.

Hard to grieve when there is no comfort gizmo. I hear you there and can relate right now. I'm also grieving a few losses, and so glad to be home so I can fall apart in the privacy of my own home, the rest of the world at bay. I've been experiencing anguish, anxiety, terror, hurt, grief, just generally low and hopelessness. Confused, scared, unsure, like I'm disintegrating and a waste of space. I know I'm not, but I feel this way. Just feeling very negative right now. My back is so sore, and I don't think I want to do massage any more. I just want to paint and maybe go to school and do a writing course and f*ck massage right off. I'm sick of touching people and going home depleted and back aching and just miserable. I'm not happy right now. I feel sick. I feel like there is something really wrong with my back and I'm hurting it even more by continuing to work in that field. I feel hopeless. Aimless, sorry for myself and sick.Relief at expressing it here.Worried...worried about being worried and worried that I'll never be able to stop worrying. It's stupid. I feel grumpy.

Feeling like homeostasis has returned and the emptiness has been replaced with a comfortable hum of back to feeling good again. Glad I was able to release all that here. :)

I'm feeling a bit of dread- this afternoon I'm going to ask my T if she realizes how invaliding it can be to view depression as a choice. Might have to ask if she comprehends what 'intrusive' means too, because that was part of how I described some of the depressive stuff. Getting ready to go and putting on most of my 'armor', the little trinkets that make my mind feel like I'm safer.

I'm going to ask my T if she realizes how invaliding it can be to view depression as a choice.

I have been seeing this feeling echoing around the board and I noticed I became angry towards some of the T's words to our people here. I felt surprised and wondered what the basis was...protective stance or fear of people carrying additional weight by misaligned mental health concepts of T's?

I feel I need to trust the process more of others & just listen more while observing my feelings without judgement. I believe I need to understand more those view points of depressions from each side of therapy and applaud you Spiderallis for asking for clarity. I feel happy you are asking her for your further understanding.
:hug:'s if you accept

I am feeling fine. No negative emotions. I didn't want to take a shower but I am glad that I did. I know that is the depression talking. It can go away now.

I'm feeling apprehensive about the work xmas party next week. I actively avoid situations which shout "potential danger" at me so being in town, drunk people everywhere, strangers everywhere, in the dark is a really frightening & triggering thing for me.

I'm feeling nervous as my friend who died a few years ago would have been 27 tomorrow and I dont cope well with the anniversary.

Those are my immediate feelings

I got this too but I am pretty much thinking in a different way. I
