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

[mumstheword]

My brain still hurts from all the terrible stress of late. I feel injured by the psychological trauma induced by my next door neighbor over 4 years of living beside her. So worn down, it's hard to keep going, so hard.

Thanks @JadesJewel . I know the bubble thing in my last post was weird but identifying these states is important to me. I feel as if my emotional vocabulary is limited as is my ability to identify. Instead of saying "I'm angry" I want to more deeply and accurately name the feeling along with the the lesser ones occurring at the same moment.

I use something called a. 'emotional color wheel' to help me identify and name. I figure if I can't accurately identify my feelings I can't accurately trace them or improve them. This is what I'm talking about.

@MrMoonlight The bubble reference in your previous post was not weird to me at all. I get you in ID'ing your feelings and utilizing this emotional color wheel to help hone them. This is great.

@goingonhope . I'm really feeling for you! It sounds truly terrible, what you went through/are going through! I'm hoping things ease up for you!
@Justmehere -yes it does! I hope you can do something extra kind for yourself.
@Ronin - Maybe something needs to "explode" out of you!? Please keep yourself safe though. We want you safe.

Much better, I actually left my home and ventured to the great outdoors and joined civilization again today. I feel calm and peaceful now.

@mumstheword - Apparently it's surprise, I'm feeling right now. I appreciate your thoughts and words and find them helpful. I'm confronted with lots of low self-esteem and it's really important for me to know and trust that there are thoughtful people. Thank you. I too hope that you overcome some of that awful stress you're dealing with as well. And, please find some rest, if you can wherever you might find it.

@MrMoonlight - That "color emotional wheel" you shared, in my opinion, is something uniquely special, so useful I printed it and through reviewing it, I identified some of how I'm apparently feeling. It's a very useful tool. Nothing truly weird about it. Different can be good, and uniquely different has got to be good. Otherwise what's my purpose. I think I'm growing odd and stranger with nearly every passing day.

O.k. now what am I feeling? I'm feeling fearful; threatened; nervous; exposed, as well as somewhat freer and stronger.
