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

[Cindy]

Living beyond the moment once again :)

I'm back on my feet after being left in the dust by my daughter. (two week tailspin)

I've put it into perspective and gained insight in how to limit the extent of her impact on me. It's dissappointing but reality.

Today, I feel back in control of my emotions somewhat and feel energy to take a 360 view of my world and renegotiate the system. Time to air it out and reengage.

I'm back, finally.

I am exhausted and confused and I had a crap birthday....BUT I am trying real hard to be positive which makes me feel kind of good....of course I think it is highly likely I might just nosedive now.

And no I'm not looking to...

Manage your best, Fin. That's all we can do.

I'm feeling tired, wore down, a little pensive. Not bad, not good, just here.

 

[fin]

hey cragger.........."Not bad, not good, just here." I so know what you mean.

*hugs crag.

A little happy and sad at the same time. Cold, tired, but grateful.

This morning I decided I was going to sell my boat and everything else I own (which ain't much) and see if I could drink myself to death before I ran out of money. But I decided to wait until tomorrow before I start the fire sale. Tonight it's a little better. Sometimes the hopelessness gets pretty powerful, doesn't it? Still trying to get used to this PTSD diagnosis, and how different I've felt since I got it.

 

[Tinyflame]

Yep, Patrick. Always feels for me like never a dull moment- never know what you're going to get in the "feelings" department any given hour.:dontknow:

Patrick - glad you waited. I've done similar postponements... god yes, the hopelessness can seem so absolutely real (not to mention all encompassing) at times. The last few days, with old trash/triggers being stirred by some work I'm doing, I've taken to chanting, "It's just your trash, it's not you....it's just the old trash, it's not you....it's just triggers, it's not you..." Thanks for the postponement reminder...it's a good tool for me when I remember it.

I feel really sad that my partner barely acknowledged my birthday.
I feel sad that I didn't even warrant a paper card.
I feel sad that I feel so alone.
I feel sad that this work feels endless.
I feel sad that I have trash tethering me to the ground.
I feel sad that my balance is so shaky lately.
I feel sad that my old trash runs (ruins) my life, my enjoyment.
I feel sad that I'm not doing what I came to Earth to do.
I feel sad that I'm still floundering.

Trying for a little balance so:

I feel grateful that I have a new president.
I feel grateful that the reign of terror mongers and religious hatred is over.
I feel grateful that we have a decent human being in office.

I feel grateful that the snow stopped.
I feel grateful that I have a job.
I feel grateful that I have people who care for me.
I feel grateful for the Solution tools, for Dr.McDougall information.
I feel grateful that I don't have to leave my health to chance.
I feel grateful that I have a roof over my head, food on my table, animals to love and connect with.
I feel grateful that there is still a spark of "me" in there, even when I feel so utterly lost and alone.

There, I feel better. Good job Dylan!

 

[patrick]

Yes Dylan. That was an excellent job. I feel inspired right now to take more notice of those things for which I am grateful. And I feel grateful to you for having remined me. Thanks.

Good day today. I've accomplished a great deal and have felt good about much accomplished, as well as myself.

Feeling too tired to write elsewhere what I'd like to, .....another time.
