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

[Evie loves Sam]

I'm exhausted. Every emotion is like runninng a marathon and not the good kind of marathon where you feel energised and fulfilled and justified in the exhaustion. It rolls into the next emotion marathon. I just want to curl up and sleep. I feel I am aging faster than I should be. Every part of my body hurts and I am on the brink of tears constantly, until it just flows and I pass out. I did so little today. A job here and there. Smiled and chatted. But insude is the slowest moving marathon going on.

Useless, aware, defeated, domestically disorganized, psychically organized

I'm being flooded with shame, loneliness, hollowness, guilt, and fear. It's such a vivid and distressing state when I get flooded. Yet, through all the noise, I have to really dig deep to identify the feelings. Otherwise I will just dissociate through it.

Lonely.

We've been pulled out of the line to rest in some tiny village in the arse end of nowhere.
There's no nightlife and most of the guys just want to sleep. Nobody at home is answering my messages.

I had a silly dream that I might have some kind of Casablanca-style romance over here. No chance of that.

If I can't have company then I just want to get back to the fight.

Extremely dissociated, apathetic and hopeless. I’ve also been pushed further into the freeze state and I’m just going to accept it at this point.

Gross, nauseous, sad, slightly more armored and put together, scared, alone, wanting, not too alone, painfully hopeful

Like clock work, every evening, tears and I am emotionally exhausted. Am I the only one who cries this much? Everday?

No, you are not alone. I cry all the time now. I'm very overwhelmed and exhausted as well. I find that taking time for quiet reflection, getting out into nature, self-compassion and acceptance of what is going on helps to some degree. Sometimes, I think that the crying is like an old fashioned pressure cooker - it's just letting out some of the steam so that we don't explode with all that we're holding inside/going through. Patience and kindness can go a long way. Take care. VB

I don't know what the word is for this feeling.

Circumstances here have changed and I'm pretty sure I'm going to die.

I've taken to sitting on the sofa that serves as my bed and rocking backward and forward. It's involuntary but at least it makes me feel better.

My body feels stressed but my mind is empty. I can't focus on things. I can feel tears, but they won't come. I want to talk but there's no one to talk to about this.

I don't know what this is called.

@Evie loves Sam you are not the only one crying every day

Today I feel confused and nauseous

Sad but breaking free
