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

[Lola Nocheprieta]

I have been feeling sad and lonely and exhausted since Friday. I also feel scared and confused about therapy.

I feel hungry and kind of tired. My mind is kind of swimming. I had one of those therapy sessions where you talk about traumas like you're asking someone to pass the salt. Like "oh ya he would do that and I don't know I didn't like it or whatever and then oh this other time he did that thing and I was mad". Just kind of glossing over things and not letting things sink in. My therapist kept asking direct questions and was trying to get me to really acknowledge that the things I was minimizing weren't small and shouldn't be minimized. Now my brain is processing.

@BlackbirdSinging.:hug::hug:

I am feeling so much better. I had some time with a friend and we sat out back and talked, now I feel so much better.:cool:

I first of all send hugs to everyone for the love; prayers and support for my mother, my family, and myself!!:hug:'s

I feel tired, sad and fearful/anxious.

I saw my mother at the hospital tonight, she was sitting up and with our help was eating ice cream. Still, she is suffering with cerebral hypoxia (which is due to a lack of oxygen to the brain) and we do not know if the symptoms will diminish or persist. It was difficult to see her like that....still...

I feel grateful to have seen my mother and tell her I love her and hear the words "I love you."

My mom is not out of the woods and we could suddenly "*lose" her......* (I don't like the word lose when it comes to people dying, it ain't like I misplaced them!!!)... ;):tup::p

Anyways thanks for the prayers and support,

Much love,

Keeping you and your mom in our prayers, @Lionheart777. Glad you had a chance to see her and love on her, even though it's under these circumstances. You never truly "lose" someone you love ...

Glad you spent some quality time with a good friend, @gizmo, and that you are feeling better.

I am feeling:

Stronger (emotionally) than I have in days, or possibly even weeks.

Felt joy when giving members of my treatment team homemade cards and small pieces of my art.

Still feel some trepidation/anxiety about the next 3 weeks sans therapy, but I know I can do this.

@Lola Nocheprieta : *sending hugs your way* That's the spirit! You CAN DO it. :hug:

I'm feeling not very relaxed after another night with nightmares.

I'm feeling tense because I have to tell my mother that I don't want to join them in Church on Christmas' Eve.

 

[Lola Nocheprieta]

Thanks, @Anrish! Good luck telling the Momster ... we are all rooting for you! Remember, her disappointment or disapproval doesn't mean you have to sacrifice yourself. You got this, girl!

I feel happy - got a wonderful gift from my best friend.

I feel absolutely exhausted. I am surprised I'm still awake!

 

[Lola Nocheprieta]

Damn, I'm in pain. My lower back/pelvis went out, and that shit hurts like hell. It eclipses all other feelings right now. I'm otherwise ... okay, I think. Happy for it to be the Winter Solstice and looking forward to longer days and more sun.

 

[Lionheart]

I am in awe that my mother has done so well during the past 24 hours. I am happy and cautiously optimistic.

Today is the 4th anniversary of my father's passing and instead of sadness and grief, I feel love and peace.

RESENTMENT. Anger. Frustration. Spark of hope? Determination. Caffeine.

(caffeine is a feeling)
