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

[AngelaMarie]

I am feeling sore. I started exercising again on the cross-trainer. I have arthritis and fybromyalgia. My body is screaming.:eek:
I am feeling proud. Even though my body is screaming I know in a month or so I won't have as much pain and will feel better about myself.:tup:

Good for you, Lionheart..
Sounds like healing to me ;)
(I'm proud of you too :tup::))

I love your avatar, too, it's strong (and dignified) and so are you.

Thank you Junebug:),

For me, it has taken approximately 14 years of therapy and medication management to get to this point, and I did not do it alone, but I have had some wonderful people help me along the way...(had a couple of good therapists too).

Coming to this forum is part of my healing, as are you and the people I meet here. I still have issues to work on and am a work in progress, but I have come a long way from being a raging, alcoholic, madman with a death wish, like I once was.

Today I am grateful for the support I find here at the forums.
I am grateful for the healing that has taken place in my life and
I am grateful that I can (hopefully) take my experience and compassion and help others.

Today I am feeling excited and apprehensive at the same time. Having a dinner party tonight, and hoping it doesn't overwhelm me too much. I haven't cooked for 12 people in a really long time, and I'm really tired, but I think if I can get through this I will feel really proud of myself. I used to entertain a lot, but it's been a bit rough trucking through EMDR and therapy for the last couple years. I haven't felt like having people in my house for ages. I'm feeling more motivated to do it now though.

Wishing you the best of luck!!!:)

Positive after speaking to my daughters. I will see both of them next week. We haven't been all together since New Year.

I am feeling hopeful for the future. Still a long hard road, but I am feeling hope...makes all the difference.

Exhausted, swollen, stiff, and sore. Physical manifestation of PTSD, and happens when I push to hard and the stress overwhelms me. I am a little scared by it, because each time it happens it is a bit worse than the time before. I really do not want to see a doctor, because I don't want another label, or someone to tell me what else is wrong with me, and definitely no more medication.

Not very good at taking care of myself, but this is one big hopping up and down red flag.

Like I have let myself down. :(

Hubby had a rough weekend, and I could not psych myself up for my dental work today.

The anxiety took over, so canceled todays appointment.

Exhausted, lost, relieved to have you all hear, or I'd be further lost.

You have not let yourself down. You did what was best for you, your wellbeing comes first. There will be another appointment.

Follow the 3 rules my T gives me.

1. Be kind to yourself
2. Be kind to yourself
3. Be kind to yourself

Thanks KP.



I do have another one booked for next week, so will just re-book another one then, to complete the treatment.
