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

(((HUGS)))

I am surviving Christmas. Usually I am the one who is excited, even more than my girls (22 & 25). This year nothing, I think they were all a bit concerned so I had to put the mask on and seem excited.

Actually after a couple of glasses of champagne, the world seems better.

Wishing everyone the best Christmas they can have.
 
Regret and uneasy in missing my ex but amazing because this is the first Christmas in years that mom and I have spent laughing instead of arguing! This is good!! :)
Sorry about the ex, but I can tell you from experience, that you will find so much more laughter in your life! Tis better to be alone and sad, than being sad IN a relationship.

Merry Christmas, and wishing you great blessings in your singlehood!
 
I'm feeling fairly pleasant, cooking ham/beans & cornbread. We'll pretend no one is sad or in bad health, forget our troubles, and celebrate our faith. OH, and EAT! We'll go down to my niece's and her family where there are KIDS! That's what I love about Christmas....the KIDS! Seeing their eyes light up, and the playing, smiling, and HUGS!!

Happy Birthday, Jesus! Thank you for being the reason for the season, and for the love You want us to feel, know, and love. I pray for peace and rest for all the Supporters, Sufferers, and those who have been on their own journeys on both 'sides'. Special prayers of strength for the Staff, as they read about so much pain and trauma. I'm sorry if offend anyone with my faith, it's the only way I know how to 'be'.

Merry Christmas! I can say it in Greek, but could never spell it!

I am feeling exhausted and not quite myself today. I feel physically sick today. I wonder it it's because ex is coming back tonight and just the idea of it makes me feel this way!:(
 
Today I am feeling a lot of emotional pain. My ex and main source of abuse since I was 15 has been harassing me via cell phone texts all day today and I'm having trouble coping with the stress it causes. I feel helpless and unable to come up with a solution.
 
This morning I am scared. The panic and the anxiety are rising again and I know it is from thinking about all that has to be done this week, and the next, and the next..............

Trying to get my head to just stay here in the present. Trying to focus on what needs to be done this hour, and then will move on to the next. Trying not to take responsibility for things that are not mine, and lost as to what is or is not my responsibility.
 
Angry... at my partner. I am sick of being the strong one all the time. It is like having a child. I am the one who suffers and yet they leach off me like a weak parasite.
 
Sad, confused, wondering how someone who proclaimed to love me a week ago could just walk out devoid of any emotion at christmas time with zero remorse even though he agrees i did nothing wrong, he just isn't happy.
 
((((((((hugs to those who need them)))))))))

I am "somewhat" here again, I am doing things to feel present and trying not to over-analyze my flashback/trigger/stressor or reversion action. I just want to try reassure myself that I am in midst of some heavy duty changes and it's primal time, so digging this stuff out is what is going to happen. We got through it and it's just hard to feel exposed. :(

The reality of it is, exposed for what?? Having been abused? That's why I'm here. For having a flashback during Christmas? It's not the first time. I'm sad that we have had some good ones and I thought we were finally past it :cry:, I feel like fool, that's how I really feel, I feel like I stupid to think I could past it this time :(.
