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

Ditto to what KP said. I've done nothing today yet but I really needed the rest. I still have pain but it's not too bad so I'm feeling pretty good!

I feel cautiously hopeful. My energy practitioner gave me another exercise to do when I get a panic attack. it is called Tapas acupressure technique and it did wonders for me in his office. I am sort of scared to try it on my own because I am afraid it will fail when I do it without his guidance. But I really want to try it out BEFORE I get a melt-down panic attack. so i guess I am also feeling brave, cuz, as I write this, i realize I will get off the computer and go ahead and try it.

Is that a 'tapping' technique meganut? If so, I do it and it helps me although I'm now training my H to do it for me as I find it better when someone else does it. But I still use that and the breathing and the naming 5 objects and colours etc. Anything to stop the horribleness of panic attacks.

I hope it works for you. x

I'm feeling physically nauseous, like I'd throw up if I eat breakfast right now.

Still feeling bad. My shoulder is killing me and I keep having this urge that I need to go stand in a corner. Can't figure it out.

I'm feeling hurt and angry too- my brother keeps triggering me unintentionally by saying or doing things that set me off, my mother is in denial of my PTSD and keeps trying to act like my counsellor to figure out my trauma when "little Jenny" knows that she won't be able to handle it, and my Dad keeps touching my left shoulder to give me one of those "buddy hugs" (You know, like those ones where the guy puts his arm around the person and reaches over to touch their shoulder?) and I'm just freaking terrified of them all.

On that note- I'm also feeling irritated and annoyed that my counsellor hasn't taken the time to educate my family on what "triggers" "flashbacks" and "PTSD" really is. Isn't that their job?

I am feeling proud of myself for making it back downtown despite the pain and anxiety I had yesterday morning. I'm resigned to ruling out everything I can this time before jumping into surgery.

Less anxiety today but same nagging pain. I can't start phys. therapy until April, but at least I'm starting.

((((Srain)))) Go easy on yourself, you deserve it. x

You are wise to rule everything out before surgery. If you can avoid invasive surgery all the better. Good luck with it. x

Tired. Angry and annoyed. Hope I can sleep tonight. Sooooooo tired.

I am sort of scared to try it on my own because I am afraid it will fail when I do it without his guidance .

My T did some exercises with me and when I asked him, he recorded them onto a disc. I have them on my iPod and take it with me.

((HUGS))

I am feeling proud of myself because even with the pain I'm in, I vacuumed the lounge (OK not a great job, but most of the dog hairs are gone) and I walked the dogs.

I feel good that I also did a community car journey this afternoon, taking an elderly lady to the doctors.


(((HUGS))) to all.

I feel really good now.

I feel rested.
I feel sleepy.
I feel love :inlove:
I feel I achieved something.
I am very concerned for a friend.:(
I am praying for safety and for a safe return. Please?

Good night from the African bush :)

Started the day with slight back pain, then my jaw started spasming and hurting me very badly.

So, I'm feeling glad that the doc gave me some better muscle relaxers to knock it out.

I'm, also, feeling a little lost. I feel like my therapy is getting me nowhere. But, then, I will have a couple days of clarity and it all makes sense. Ugh!:O_o: Confused!
