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

[KP the nut]

I'm feeling tired, last night sleep was just beyond my reach.

I feel proud I went to the dentist for a check up. He has patched up a chip I knocked off through grinding and he has taken an impression for me to have a guard made.

I'm feeling lazy so I'm having a quiet day, I may have a nap in a little while.

((((HUGS))) and wishing you peace.

I'm having some stomach problems today, which seems strange because I have my anxiety under control today. I can't stop thinking about how 5 years ago today I had no idea what would be happening to me within a couple of weeks time. I can't let myself get down because then I start to feel like HE won and he most certainly didn't. He is in prison for at least another 5 years, but I still worry about when he gets out. I am in the proccess of changing my daughter's last name to mine and it is taking some time, but I just have to be patient. I am feeling metally good today, but pysically not so great. Why can't I ever have both?

I am feeling hopeful today. I have some things to do that are out of the ordinary. I am taking my time waking up. I have just started doing this. I do not have to be compulsive about getting things done. It is very pleasant to take my time waking up. I may get a soft blanket and cuddle.

I feel better today. I know being back on the forum helped.
I am trying to take it just a little at a time, so I don't feel disappointed if I fall back into feeling like I did yesterday.

Today (although it's just past midnight here, I am talking about the 14th) I feel:

Suicidal, lonely, angry, guilty, painful (physically), fed up, depressed, very anxious, hopeless, desolate.

I have to say that coming on the forum tonight helped with these feelings. I know I have used the 'S' word, and I hope it isn't against the rules to put that word in this thread, and I know PTSDforum isn't supposed to be your 'safe place'... but in amongst those awful feelings, coming on here and reading some other posts and posting myself has also helped me feel:

Connected, social, relief, a bit hopeful. Strength and safety in numbers, right? If I can't tell my loved ones how bad I feel, because it hurts them too much, at least I have somewhere I can type it out and feel heard, because that's all I need. Humans need humans, even if through a computer screen.

Today was tough, but I survived it :) Tomorrow (the 15th) will be better, because I said so.

(((Rainy_Daze))) Hang in there! I understand exactly what you mean about the forum helping. I hope my hug helped a little!! :)

((((Rainy_Daze)))) listening to your pain and despair, offering my shoulder to you.

@AM, your hugs always help. Your avatars always do as well, because I love Garfield, I was obsessed with him as a child and still have many of the books which can cheer me up if I remember to pick one up. They require very little concentration being just a few pictures. I think therapists should recommend them as part of CBT ;).

@Froggie, thanks for your shoulder, I'll try not to snotter all over it if I start crying:giggle:.

No problem for the snottering, clothes are washable ... so long as it helps to cry out the pain ... no problem

Rainy_daze - (((((((((((((((BIG HUGS)))))))))))))))). This forum has been a life saver for me as well. Where else can you go and just get it all out? Nowhere - this is a safe place and a healing place.

I'm feeling ok today - not too anxious. Spent the morning with my daughter out at the horse rescue. We cleaned stalls and groomed a few horses. It was nice sharing that with her. She loved it.

Then I went to therapy, which was good. My husband has been leaving me alone - so I think that is helping. I'm looking forward to a calm evening and then tomorrow I'll be alone at work - so that will be nice. I just hope I can get some stuff done. Sometimes when I'm alone, I have problems concentrating. Looking forward to a good nights sleep without nightmares.

Fidgety, irritable, restless, itchy-- horrible feeling like my skin is crawling. Very unsettled, stressed and on edge but I don't feel nearly as depressed today as I have most days lately.

Divorce is coming to a head. Received all kinds of new info this week. How does one love and hate the same person so damn much? I seem to go from a ball of tears to a raging lunatic in an instant. Or completely dissociated and feeling nothing. :cry::poop::mad::cry::cry::cry:
