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

[KP the nut]

I'm having a panic attack and I don't understand why. I can't do this on my own. .

(((Lizio))), it is OK, you don't have to do this on your own.

Try and go back to those basics of breathing and grounding. Try and get your mind to focus, hold an icecube, touch a tree or the grass and concentrate on how it feels. Sit in a chair and put your feet firmly on the floor, feel where your body is touching the chair.

I found this thread a great help, I even printed it off.

Hold on my friend.

And, then when he makes us all really hurt and angry he relaxes, calms as if satisfied and generally falls out like a light.

How old is your Son hope? He sounds younger than mine. I have a teenage Son (19) who is suffering with anxiety, depression and agoraphobia. He lashes out at me and my husband often and, although he isn't violent, his voice is aggressive and he's very angry. He seems to take pleasure in dragging us down, making his Dad angry or reducing me to tears. He won't listen to advice and screams at me. He feels better after it of course but I'm a gibbering mess afterwards and numb all over. We often have a big hug afterwards though.

I discussed it with my T and he feels my Son gets off on provoking us but also doesn't vent properly but turns it into a full fledged argument.

At the moment I am dreading my eldest finishing Uni in June. That will mean I am in a house with 3 very negative men who do not have PTSD and make it difficult for me to stay positive. When they argue I get frightened and want to run away and I don't feel safe. My H tries really hard and does not raise his voice to me but he does join in the arguments with the lads. We are both trying to distance ourselves from them when they get like this. I feel like a mother bird trying to get her babies to fly the nest but mine have no jobs and no money and feel like there is no future.

I try to comfort and support them but it leaves me drained. I love them so much and would do anything for them but I just can't stand the constant moaning and complaining, I'll end up leaving before them!

Feeling like :poop:.

Have had a UTI since yesterday. The second in a month, so trot off to the doctor, gave them a sample. Told to ring back after 2pm. Told yes you need meds, come and pick them up. Another 16km round trip. Get to pharmacy and they give me the packet. Get home to find out they it was the repeat for my angina medication that they forgot to give me last time.

No antibiotics, :poop::poop::poop:. It was almost 5pm, so they are closed and I have to do another round trip tomorrow morning and spend all night p*****g and living in the toilet in pain. I'm so b****y fed up with it all. It takes a damn elephant to drag me out of the house as it is.

How am I feeling today. Ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to rude to write.

Also bugging me is that yesterday my my ex's birthday. Today is my mother-in-laws birthday, she is a nice lady. I felt so guilty and it has taken me a lot of restraint not to send either of them an email, saying happy birthday. Yes I know, I'm an idiot. :oops:

Buy some pearl barley and follow this recipe Loloma, not a cure, but sure help's neutralize the pain, while the meds work.

The sun did shine for a few minutes again.

I'm ok. Going to bed in 15 mins.
I need to sleep tonight.
I'm still so terribly lonely...

Goodnight everybody.

Lonely
Mildly inspired and hopeful - Lets see how long this lasts.
Hung over even though I don't drink.

(((HUGS))) to those in need of a hug and for those who just like a hug.

Today has been a nice day. I feel proud I allow myself a day of me time. I even baked some macaroons so when H arrived home from work we could have coffee and cake.

Everything is crashing down around me and I am caught in the middle. I am being swept away by the storms that rage. So exhausted and feeling sick. So overwhelmed by life right now. Need Help....got to find help.
