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

[ms spock]

I am feeling capable and competent.

Sad, wondering if anything I have ever done, or anything in my life I've valued, or any relationship I have or have had, has actually been of the value I thought it was.
Or maybe it's just indigestion?
:( .

Funny, I thought after the fact of writing that ^^, what is 'wrong' with that to identify, in so far as it does, and yet does not, reflect what I think or feel? And I think, me presupposing 'what' may or may not have ever mattered to anyone else- or even being so egotistical to think I'd know 'what' someone else wants or needs- is very inaccurate to what I usually believe. Or, if even it matters being left to 'feel' I myself was never of any value, indicates I either had expectations something would prove to me I wasn't, or simply is totally self-absorbed to think of. Not to mention, well, depressed.

So it's not really 'everyday-me', that feels that way, or thinks that way, yet I felt that way, or can feel that way.

But I guess that's what 'feelings' or emotions are: one part physical (feeling even unwell), and influenced; one part expectation or selfish 'conditions'; one part cognitive distortions; one part forgetting contexts; and all of it overladen with trauma and the past. And so it changes, to the extent self-perception and perceptions and healthiness (physical and mental) allow room for it, the degree I work on it, and the degree to which my mind, heart and soul are able to both allow it, and/ or challenge it (eventually).

I know, however, that there's a lot of research that's showing unlike what seemed the case, people are not logical beings that sometimes think emotionally, but emotional beings who sometimes think rationally. And if one has used emotions to live, decide, make sense of the world and protect themself, it's very difficult to not choose based on that. Mind you, JMH thoughts. ?

Sad, loneliness, grief

I felt kind of discouraged, well a lot discouraged, but now I feel thankful. And a bit too-little air so am going slow(ly). Which is a 'new' thing, for me.

, since I am peaceful but in the moment I would have reacted, which is often actually not very smart.

I thought of something, ~'hearing' 'hurry', and doing so- put me 'out' of the fray, whereas if I had wasted time (was waiting), I would have gone for a break (vape) and been 'in' confrontation with where the person (theft) apparently was (according to the cameras, going through more coats, theft in 2 areas). So am thankful, very much, I was not, actually. Especially if the person was out of their mind, which I do not know or not, but have large drug problem here. More desperate than me, that I know, but everyone described as 'brazen'. And I did listen to 'hurry', since it occurred to me if I hadn't where would I have physically been, and that was in confrontation, not the other way around as in I didn't get there in time to prevent it, which was what I was thinking. By 'hurrying' I avoided where she actually was, because I didn't 'not hurry' and go to the outside area.

So, thankful. Even if that incidence wasn't on my mind.

ETA But what I am feeling is thankful, but also that I don't want to think about stuff like that! So
-Yuck!!
-Fortunate
-thankful
-tired
-wound up
-slightly hopeful to keep trying
-grateful
-a bit peaceful but on edge
-unsure
-tired
-surprised
-soft.

Hopeless.
Lost.
Alone.
Cold.
Empty.
Depleted.
