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

[Survivor3]

I saw my therapist today and I feel safe that someone actually cares about me. He's really awesome. I've met really bad psychiatrists and therapists but this one is great. He's so professional and ethically minded.

Short of breath, & very tired. Made me smile though at an old memory of a sweet friend of mine's reaction who was so angry because he thought they had written SOB on his chart in the hospital, when I told him it meant shortness of breath! :laugh: No wonder I liked him so much from the start. :laugh:

Trying to regroup, turn the emotions and body down. Not sure what that feeling is? Trying-to-stabilize-after-turbulence? Debriefing of sorts, I suppose, while trying not to nose dive.

Tired.

massive courage

Excited, peaceful, happy...nice to have positive feelings most of the time now.

 

[Tinyflame]

I think I did have courage- courage, trust and received kindness & help.
I feel: peaceful, revved down, more at ~internal peace, and hooray!-> 6 + hours of no splitting headache! :) I almost took Tylenol, expecting it- but nope, am thankful not so far. :)
Grateful.
Very tentatively hopeful- not about anything in particular, but just ~life as it's supposed to be, or most people experience it, I imagine?
Stronger, for this moment, at least.

I think I understand 'stronger', is because it allows me to compartmentalize/ face some immediate challenges- I still need perf eval; I meet new boss, shortly, do not know when? (-> a bit anxious); very tired re: work (-> maybe can rest better?).

I feel grateful I could speak of unbearable issue, and not be hurt or shamed. I think it's very hard (for me) to compartmentalize worry/ grief/ shame/ regret/ indecision. (ETA, -Oh ya, -and terror. :( ) I even learned recently there's a term, 'decision fatigue'. But it's even harder to know what/ (if?) to do when feeling like I could crawl under a rock and just disappear permanently.

But even thinking of that, makes my headache return, so I am turning again to just gratitude, sheer plain gratitude. And reminding myself even if I'm used to not trusting myself or second-guessing myself, I can trust others, or some select others more correctly said.

I feel frustrated...I fell for a scam today and think my mind is slipping. Brilliant is not one of the things I feel right now.

 

[TruthSeeker]

I have multiple emotions,
I'm motivated but apprehensive in starting a healthier way of eating, exercising, and weightloss,
I feel pissed off at a relative for some stupid game-playing,
I feel grateful for getting my artwork done today,
and totally excited and jazzed about a pending trip to Africa!

Tired of PTSD.
Same ole' crap, different day.

 

[Lionheart]

Lonely, sad, dejected, tired, and a crazy as it may sound I am also in a good mood. I don't understand about conflicting feelings but I sometimes have them.

Haven't been here for a while, haven't been able to. I posted this almost a year ago.

I'm in a functioning void.

Just found out my best friend and support has cancer. Trying to be there for her, forgetting to be there for me.

My friend lost her battle at the end of May, Monday would have been her birthday.

The void is now barely functioning, I'm still not there for me.
