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

Today I feel hopeless, lonely, sad, and a little bit scared. It's also kind of like all of my feelings are dulled down, so it's not totally numb, but it's quiet. The loudest feeling is between guilt and shame, more like inadequacy.
I almost feel like giving up completely.
 
Physical illness has me feeling over-burdened and grumpy as hell. I am experiencing an increase in COPD symptoms and I am worried that they are permanent. My breathing is shallow and labored.

I am struggling to stop smoking, which I have cut by 2/3rds, but am a candidate for 24-hour oxygen therapy, esp. if I don't stop very soon. So I believe I'm in a race against time.

I am angry with myself for becoming addicted to nicotine but see that anger as less than helpful unless it leads me to stop completely. I feel frustrated and sad. I know the damage to my lungs has been done, but I must stop it from worsening.
 
Literally, anxious in my heart.
Tightness, fidgetyness, panicky stuff all in my throat and chest. I have been wanting to feel at home somewhere in me. Maybe that place can be my heart. Maybe I can find peace in there. Perhaps, as it is the socio-cultural emblem of love anyway.
So today, I guess I will work on loving and feeling loved, purely. No stipulations, no justification necessary. The unalienable right to be loved and to love.
