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

Most of the time, I have no clue how I feel. Does tired count as an emotion? Stressed. I've had a lot on my plate for a long time now, and I really feel the need to rest and shut out the world for a while.

But then I feel lonely..

Stupid brain.
 
Happy : three days no weird ptsd - ness
Tired: hot weather, more active
Disappointed: stupid wheelchair
Nervous: other stuff
Smug: not worried about buying my own fuel tomorrow:).
Curious: how i’ll Be getting a massage ... will that be ok?

Alone,
Lonely,
Feel Dumb about life stuff,
Angry for wasting so much time,
Hurt because my father has been alienated,
Lonely, Alone,
Hurt because I have no close or intimate family connections....maybe I never did and just realize it now,
Sad,
Remorseful for anything negative I did, unknowingly, to hurt my daughter (like maybe less than effective parenting),
Anxious about retiring,
Disabled physically, spiritually, emotionally.....
Struggling....such a learning curve not having a spouse,
Missing my grandson,
Grateful I have one good friend, and two family members who live 2000 miles away.....and I can go there for a peaceful drama free visit,
Trapped in a family-less void without a real belonging,
Suspicious.....vulnerable.....insecure......always wondering when the next hint of drama will begin,
Resolved to stop the drama.....
Struggling with therapy......
Impatient to "start over" and make new memories and find happiness, wholeness, meness.

Pure raw self pity. For having PTSD and not knowing how to navigate finances when I was younger, and did not prepare for retirement like I could have. This is not how I pictured my retirement. Worked since I was 14, for nothing. The self pity will lift, it's ugly and I don't like the way it feels.. but will give myself permission to wallow, and then try to figure this out. As @Crow used to say... BLAH !!
 
Oddly encouraged. I don't get here often so when I do I have lots of pages to catch up on. In doing so, I see you all struggle with pain, depression, loneliness, or whatever it might be that day, but you seem to always find your way back in a post within the next few days. I hope that is as encouraging to you all as it is to me!

Anticipation of a weekend away with my sisters and mom for mothers day. Weather is suppose to be in the high 80's and I am so looking forward to that!!! We always seem to laugh ourselves silly when we all get together. I cherish it!

Sore! First PT for shoulder was yesterday, and we worked it hard. It is a good sore because I know there is progress being made and I will eventually get my strength and range of motion back.

Stressed! Last day tomorrow of the whole re-pipe fiasco. The job has taken them 3 times longer than anticipated and quoted. So tomorrow the last of the dry wall goes up to finish the patches in the walls. Thankfully for us, we won't have to pay the extra because we signed a contract. So I am feeling relief also.
