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

Powerless, worthless, cowardly.

All day, every day terrible things are being done out in the world, yet here I sit, on my arse. Drinking tea while hospitals are shelled, whole towns burned, families murdered and buried in shallow graves if they're buried at all and not just left in the street.

I want...need...to be out there...I have to. I can't just let it happen. Not again.

Not again.

I wasn't where I should have been then and I'm not there now. Why? It's not right. It isn't fair.

I'm sorry.
 
I am feeling ok, not great. I have things to do today. I have alot I have to do this morning. I am getting my nails done. I hope it makes me feel better. I am feeling down. Husband is down due to the fact that he knows he was hallucinating. His mood affects mine. I wish it did not.
 
My goal is to numb myself again...I truly wish I could be invisible.

Hi Violent03, I so relate, but numbing can kind of dupe us sometimes. When I numbed (especially when I used to numb for whole years at a time), I did feel invisible. But, here's the thing: we end up invisible to ourselves (which means we are not as alert) while potential threats (perpetrators) still see us.

This is just my take but I think that issues of "re-enactment" and ending up in re-traumatizing situations or assaults (while ALWAYS the perpetrators' fault) are fostered by (in some ways) numbing out. At least, this is how it seems in my case.

Whatever you have to do to cope today, try to take good-care. You are worthy.

I feel tired but content because I made it through another work week, and it's a sunny Friday.
 
I am feeling good. I see this as a success. I have alot going on. We will go out for chinese food today. Our little dog is finally turning into a watchdog. She never ever barked. Now when someone walks by she barks and lets us know there is someone out there. She sure is bonding to us.

Hugs for everyone who needs one. My heart goes out to all who are suffering today.
