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

Thank you @ladee . ;hug:

I suppose by 'be' I meant different- without any of this, or me the way I am. But that is a combination of wishful thinking and denial. :( To be better than I am now, or the best I can be with what I've got to work with though, yes. That is the be I have to work on. :hug:

I feel, reminded of perspective, and history, and how bad things could be. And silly, for feelings taking precedence over what shouldn't be made big deals, knowing the difference.

I feel entirely overwhelmed, alone, and terrified.
 
Am starting to feel overwhelmed myself @Junebug.But am trying to stop the process before it gets larger.

I am not what I am feeling. You and I are very capable to stop the roller coaster ride. I stopped today to simply make a list of what is piling in on me. Decided what I could do something about today, and left the rest. I just picked one to start with. Got that tended to. And went on to the next one.

That proved to be something that was adding to my frustration, so I let it go for today. I am tired. I can give myself permission to only take action on the things I can do something about. Making the list helps.

I'm tired of being tired.
 
The „Why we live-and suffer-we can die in a second-or not-plight“= lovely feelings of futility came waving at me. Making a coffee in the morning and baaaaaaaaaam >>>>bullets of „what’s the use of all this? We all die, and then?
>>>>>>>I have some other bullets, and they say, like Snoopy does: And in many other Days we aren’t dead>>>>> Chaka khaaaan
 
And for all the other days that we aren't dead, we still get to love, hug people we care about, make a difference, heal, laugh, cry, heal some more. And love until we aren't here anymore.

Love you P. :hug: x 100
 
Feeling a combination of anxiety and self hatred (self chastisement and self put downs - I am disputing my distorted cognitions) - but I am much more aware and here now so I am giving myself a little bit of self compassion. Slowly but steady.
 
"I'm feeling a lot of anxiety today, which is good because it means I am actually in my body. I am feeling feelings."

1. I am not numbing out with food.
2. I am not binge watching TV.
3. I am not engaging in maladaptive daydreaming.
4. I am not dissociated as much.
5. I am not depersonalised as much.
6. I am not derealised as much.
7. I am not compulsively talking and blocking contact with other people.
8. I am not compulsively thinking to block contact with this now and other people.
9. I am not emotionally attacking myself to distract myself from feelings in my body.
10. I am not dissecting every interaction that I have with other people to put myself down and make myself down.
11. I am not composing posts for this forum to distance myself from the situation.
