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

Sleep deprived but happy.

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed. I don't like when I wake up this way and just need to work on putting it all into perspective and "know" that not everything is a hopping up and down emergency. :oops:

Confused, empty, distracted, foggy, ill, and can't explain it.

Like teaching demons to jazz, again.

So - determined / dark / like I woke up to a different life, again, but some basics stayed.

Feeling rebellious against others historical estimation of me as less than.

@MrMoonlight...hoping all goes well with your 2nd therapy appointment...and thank goodness for bubbles of calm!

 

[MrMoonlight]

lol you are the best @JadesJewel . lovin those bubbles. Thank you for asking JJ, so dang thoughtful.

Therapy went really well as I feel comfortable speaking with her. So much that I allowed her to read my journal. I don't want to hide anything from her and I hope by doing this she can better help me.

She says we will go at my pace and is very reassuring. She validated some things for me which felt empowering like my roman catholic parochial school years, recognizing just how hard I have struggled all these years and how much of a fighter I am.

We were intending on getting right into EMDR but after hearing of my fear of more somatization/conversion disorder symptoms like stuttering, vomiting, passing-out..etc...she and I will instead first work on grounding techniques, calming strategies and tools I can use to combat.

@MrMoonlight...Feeling...that it's so healthy what you've shared with your therapist...and how she has responded in kind...to you...and she is going at YOUR pace. I do so agree that being as honest as you possibly can with her...will hopefully enable her to help you even more. I shared so much with my T as well and tried to be as honest as I could with him too.

EMDR Therapy is oh so tough (it was for me) and your therapist sounds very savvy...trying to ground you as much as possible before initiating this modality. For EMDR is ruff!

Not for the faint of heart. It is so good to hear that she's not rushing you into it. And that she is taking her time due to the vomiting, etc. Good for her...great for you!

Hungry
Reluctant to get up and eat something
Guilt for not going to sleep earlier
Self-critical for being so nervous I couldn't sleep earlier
Slightly sad

I feel stuck.
I am feeling stressed with disgust and overwhelm from images from (last weeks Marvel movie), as well as from overhearing far too much and continuous talk earlier/yesterday, regarding significant violence to the face. Not recently, but more than once, I've lost sleep searching online for similar images (preferably equal to) previous DV facial injuries, just to somehow feel connected and not so alone. I'm doing better than that right now thank goodness, but my heart aches, my gut is in turmoil; I'm feeling very much sad, distrustful and afraid.
