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

[Lionheart]

I feel grateful for the members of this forum...thank you my friends!!!
I feel empowered and happy. :)

I feel physically tired, weak and old, but young and strong inside.:tup:
I feel that I am alone in the world, but I don't feel loneliness, *(first time in a while, thanks to my friend).:inlove:

...and most importantly today, I feel 'good enough' and that has been such a long time in coming that I can't accurately describe the sensation.

Thankful. Especially to my friend PH who has been by my side through all of these really difficult weeks. Couldn't have made it through without you! :inlove:

Tired again and headed to bed. Good night all.

Well, cardiologist will be sending me for tests and do some elimination as to what is causing my palpitations and dizziness. It's related to the fact that my blood pressure has not been regular since my chemo treatments. One exam is next week and the other 2 will only be in March! From what he could hear, my heart seems healthy. So have to wait and see.

Feeling calm today.

Have been sitting here thinking how lucky I am that I'm well past the "rage" period in my recovery. I left it behind me many years ago, after a long.......... hospitalization. The rage and extreme anger makes dealing with feelings uncontrollable, confusing and irrational.

I'm better off where I'm at even though it's not ideal. Passive and a introvert, preferring to be on my own. :unsure:

I feel more grounded than I have in several days. I've slept a lot! That, in itself, feels like heaven...I can't remember the last time slept so peacefully.

Lionheart, you are more than good enough and I feel grateful to have you as a friend. :)

More than ever I'm finding how important it is that have this forum to come to and risk being myself though I may make myself cringe at times. :ninja: It all feels risky being me.

Lionheart, you are more than good enough and I feel grateful to have you as a friend. :)

Thanks for the reminder that I am good enough..we will get that to sink in eventually. ha ha ;)

I am feeling numb today. I did sleep last night, the medicated stupor type of sleep.

I feel grateful to this forum, for members who contact me with support and a listening ear.

I haven't had a chance to come online for long lately, I see you made the drive KP, congrats! I'm SO happy for you :D

I feel good about my driving the last week. I actually hit the speed limit (100kph) on the highway this week!!!! I also survived dealing with two frozen vehicles for an entire day (-47 windchill!!!).

I'm nervous because it snowed yesterday, a fair bit, and I'm going with my H on a 700km (each way) trip, in a Dodge pickup truck on Sunday (same make as the one I was in for the accident). Going to be a challenge, I'm expecting some major anxiety attacks if not flashbacks. I think expecting it will help.

I'm also proud, I've gotten much better at calming myself. This trip will be a test.

I'm also a little unsure and disappointed, maybe hurt. Its becoming obvious that the dog trainer we've started going to with our dog either doesn't like us or doesn't like our dog. I know I really shouldn't care but it bugs me enough that I'm having a hard time ignoring it.

Feeling a lot better but still low on energy.

Going to try some deep meditation later, to try to calm my own mind from these last few days.

I feel good

Hey, I actually feel okay today. This is big for me because I stopped taking anti-depressants. I have been off of them since mid-December. Granted, that is not very long, but I am optimistic. For those of you who feel down and out most of the time, I hope you read this and are inspired. I used to cry everyday, several times a day, in public, in bathrooms, any place I could duck into when the tears would start welling up as fragments of memories returned. On the weekends I stayed in bed and alternated between crying and sleeping. After over 3 years on intense therapy and meds, I can safely say that this weekend I have been feeling bored. Too much energy! So I went out for a coffee with a friend, went shopping, painted my nails. Who is this girl?? I hope the new me. But I don't want to think about it too much. Otherwise I get nervous that the tears will return. But i am finally looking towards the future, making plans. I hope one day I can come back to this forum and say, I am cured!! I want to give everyone here hope for the future. My heart goes out especially to those survivors of child abuse. Hang in there! You are not alone. :-)
