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

[intothelight]

Feeling anxious and then down and then like crying. Rapid cycles and not sure what is underlying issue is or if there is even one.

I feel tingly with excitement and anticipation of the time of year with Halloween/Samhain coming up in a few weeks, (which heralds the holiday season). However, today, I feel mostly calm and in a good mood. My thoughts are focused and mood is bright and cheery despite it being a rainy day here.

:hug:'s
Hugs for all on the struggle,
Lion

Kind of excited.

 

[Let It Be]

I'm feeling better as I have a clearer picture of what I'm facing now and what I need to do in order to get through the situation I am in.

I know what I need to do so will have to rely on all the strength I have to get myself through this which will not be easy, but I no longer want to lose myself either as I have with them.

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

Frustrated, while also deeply feeling the pain of those closest to me in real life who are suffering in various ways. None of whom wish to drastically change their consumption habits, but all of whom continue to bitch and moan about their pains, allergies, congestion, colds, tummy issues, etc., steadily blaming others for passing off something contagious to them, or blaming the weather, not ever willing to entertain the fact they may simply be eating and drinking many of their ills day in and day out.

Change the basic fuels you're trying like hell to keep running on and perhaps you'll experience a change in symptoms. Often times things will get much worse before it gets better while your body adjusts, that's a given, just like potential side effects of meds, there are also side effects of all we ingest. That Hippocrates dude, the one who wrote the oath all doctors must take about first do no harm and stuff, mentioned something about letting food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. Never had a doc mention that to me before. But that's exactly what it took to finally work for me, after several decades of trying all the other ways. But nooooo....according to them, what they consume couldn't be the issue or the doc would have most certainly already mentioned it. If a doc doesn't say it, it can't be true. Grrrrr...

Ummm....hello? My doc continually told me I was "healthy", based on blood work, when I was weighing in at 324 f*cking pounds, even after having been diagnosed with severe IBS, severe nervous stomach, severe fibromyalgia, severe insomnia, severe depression, severe anxiety, severe adhd, severe this, severe that, just a damn severe existence, it seems. But by all means, let's try yet another buffet of various pills and a shit load of "comfort" foods to "treat" ourselves with to see which one supposedly "cures" all the ills by temporarily masking symptoms and halting the body's natural mechanisms of trying to get rid of what ails you itself. Giving a shit is, without a doubt, one of the most exhausting things there is. Especially when you've experienced deep relief in the exact areas you see others continually struggling in.

The depression clouds lifted and I feel sunny inside once again. Holding my own and feeling neutral.

 

[intothelight]

Battling the bone pain and trying not to let it bring me down. The better my mood the less the pain, but the pain makes mood even more challenging. Just love catch 22's.:banghead:

 

[The Albatross]

Trepidation about yet another difficult familial conversation - this time with my brother.

 

[Teasel]

Having a moment of feeling defective and like I'll never belong.

 

[ninja]

Angry, feeling the injustice of some actions. Pissy. Feisty. Oppositional. Content to be feisty and oppositional, in that I do not feel I need to hide it or stuff it all inside. I can let it be a bit, and feel it throughout the day - express some of it whenever. I'm not a nasty person, my expressions will not hurt others.

 

[Let It Be]

Feeling so much better now, as I needed to make some decisions about a certain matter which I have. Also, I just received a phone call from a new therapist that I have an appointment to see in several weeks.

Just feeling like a heavy burden has been lifted and I am going to move on from the counselor I was seeing. Feeling very relieved at this moment!

 

[mumstheword]

I am having dig deep to find the energy just to function (minimally) to be honest.
My head is cloudy and tight
I feel like I need a long holiday
Life overwhelms me
I'm just chronically exhausted these days
