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

[ms spock]

Tired I feel so tired!

 

[intothelight]

Disappointed in myself.

 

[ms spock]

Exhausted and a bit worried.

 

[Lionheart]

Confused about certain sexual urges;

whether or not they are valid healthy sexual urges or if they only arise due to past trauma experiences...

in other words, I am asking myself, am I bi-sexual or only having urges to repeat past abuse trauma?

So far, my therapist and one trauma expert has said that I am predominately heterosexual with bi-sexual tendencies arising from trauma.

I wish these urges would go away if they are trauma-based and if they are just normal for me, then I would like to be free to explore that side of myself.

I am very confused and feeling a bit helpless to define what is appropriate and healthy...for me, ...again!!!

I thought I had this figured out, but the urges continue and I feel very frustrated and a little embarrassed by all of this.

@Lionheart777 , try not to be embarrassed. We can't help what we feel, just take the time to figure it out for yourself. Sending warm gentle ((( hugs))) your way. :hug::hug:Raven

@Lionheart777 you are awesome whichever way you go! I am bisexual as well, and it is okay.

Radical Acceptance my friend, Radical Acceptance.

@Lionheart777, I understand and have struggled similarly - although I'm female and was abused by my mother. Please try not to worry about it. I have found it more important to accept all of myself. Don't fight whatever makes you happy. :hug: :hug: :hug:

I am shocked and worried that my country has voted to leave the European Union.

 

[ms spock]

I feel my awesomeness growing! I feel good!

 

[Lionheart]

Now that I understand my sexual urges better, why I have them, and what to do about them, I am feeling empowered and less confused. I feel happy and free to be myself, along with all my quirks, flaws, urges, etc.

I like who I am and am proud of the progress I have made.

I feel exhausted and wrung out like a wet dish rag! Mentally and physically drained...:sorry:

@RavenGirl sending healing vibes your way until you do start to feel better. I hope that you find out what can help you to feel better.

I am feeling weird today, dealing with not having as many sodas, new med for my blood pressure introduced which will probably take a long time to get used to, and also second day of quitting smoking. I hope that my taking a walk kicks in with some endorphins for me. This too shall pass.

@gizmo , thank you I'm working on it. My T said I need to be as kind and forgiving towards myself as I would to my husband or one of my children if they were in this situation.:rolleyes: She made me cry as I've always been the hardest on me because of my childhood...:( I'm working on it, I JUST EXPECT SO MUCH MORE FROM MYSELF. Which I'm working on not doing. :tdown::tup:
