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

Thank you @gizmo for knowing I'd need donuts, wish I could hug you a dozen times and share a several pots of coffee.

I'm scared, told mom that I'm angry with her and don't want to talk. Pieced together that her nagging on the phone earlier in the day was a factor in my panic thing later on. Also told her it may take a few days for me to work through this and I agreed to check in every day so she knows I'm okay. I'll be trying out some of the distress tolerance things I've been learning, not sure how effective anything will be about holding back a lifetime worth of constant negativity but I'll keep trying different things until something starts to help.
 
In the moment:

I feel utterly exhausted, nausea, left temporal headache, shoulder/spine/back pain, like barfing, confused, lost, lonely and my eyes hurt.


Beneath and in Layers, Seeking My Attention are Presently My Feelings of:

Weariness, fright, weakness, dreaminess and abandonment grief.

Strength, loving respect, faithfulness, passion, sincerity, meekness, insecurity.

Also, feelings of entrapment, strength and safety in abandonment, insecurites and fears due to too great of need for self-reliance in juggling mine and others duties. Additionally there's knowledge, hurt and a feeling of having been undermined concerning parenting. Also, there's relapsing and remitting feelings of having been rejected, condemned and too often lately I feel, increasingly and unsatisfactorily indifferent.

And, in wrapping this up I feel humored by all this and with increased self-compassion. :)

:rolleyes: (lol)
