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

[Tinyflame]

Incerdibly overwhelming gratitude. Surprise, shock, hope, joy, relief, excitement, peace of heart.

 

[A-RON]

Feel like climbing a mountain and screaming so hard and loud that my throat pops out of my mouth.

She Cat, I also love the idea of taking the bull by the horns like that. I expend so much energy trying to make sure I don't feel sorry for myself, I think I overlook the need to greive as well.

I'm feeling like I am being challenged in a good way. A little afraid I haven't got it in me. Hopeful and elated for a friend. Confused, but that's nothing new. I'll work it out.

"She Cat"

Sometimes I feel I have "earned the right" to dwell on my feelings from time to time. I feel I have earned the right ot be alittle selfish once in awhile, because all I did in my past was serve others, appeasing, and pleasing others above myself.

Afterall, I never "did "feelings growing up - it wasn't safe to do so. So I get aggravated when my T trys to say that I should look at doing this or that thing. but if it has a demand or expectation tack to it I just cannot handle it. I feel overwhelmed and there have beem a couple of tmes where he did this and it triggered me and I would regress in to a fetal position crying out "I'm sorry" over and over, It freaked us both out when that happened because neither of us had any suspicion that I would fall into something like that.

I am feeling afraid, but also hopeful, because I am learning from this forum, and things are starting to make some sense. I feel pround that I managed to get out of bed today to clean my kitchen. I actually achieved my goals for the day. I feel pretty depressed as well, but I'm fighting it.

 

[cragger65]

I'm feeling down. Down on myself mostly. Down that I'm not doing better by now. Down that I'm not able to manage more. Just down.

Had a long day and my brain has frozen and my body is exhausted.

 

[tude]

Sad? and restless... then near tearful, tormented, scared, and guarded.

Anxious and vulnerable about work tonight... afraid to be triggered or finally saying aloud to someone, "Shut the f*ck up!"

Then, I felt angry. Starting to really like that one. Took it out on the punching bag and now there's no feeling... finally!

Did I miss anything? Another fun-filled day... not.

 

[cragger65]

Tough day, Tude. I'd give you a hug if I could.

 

[Luthien]

I feel terrified.

I feel very ill physically.

I feel tired.

I feel like I don't have anything left in me.

I feel like I am slipping downhill into a place I know is too scary for me to handle.

I feel anxious.

I feel bitter.

I feel like an idiot.

I feel like I should just be able to shut all this off, and I feel like a failure because I can't.

I feel like maybe all of this trying is pointless, because I should be over it already.

I feel like going to sleep and letting it all go, but I am scared that would result in me never being able to get up again.

 

[Luthien]

also,

sad, hopeless, and alone

 

[cragger65]

I know all those feelings, a little too well Luthien. Try not to "should" all over yourself. I do this to myself too much also.
