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

[Mee]

I just felt excitement. Genuine little bubble of excitement. Which I quashed with a sort of fear? That it would disappear? That the crash of after disappointment would be worse? Well anyway, now I feel annoyed with myself and impatient to buy the newly released book

Loved, blessed, honored. I had a good day today, with low pain both emotionally and physically.

It was a good day, one of the repairs got done and the workman was great, we had a decent chat while he worked every now and then. He isn't a zombie and I was glad to meet someone who is tuned in like myself :) Maybe there are many more like us out there!

I feel another degree of freedom from the past. Well worth the work to get here.

How does one draw the line between "shoulding" on oneself and being constructive in making a better/healthier life for oneself? I can't seem to find the bridge lately.

From what I've learned from @ms spock and others, I believe that bridge is paved with self compassion. :) Trying to hold myself in this space today as I'm feeling really lost in time and disconnected from myself.

A bit rattled. I know it's hunting season, and I know my brother-in-law's former son-in-law has permission to hunt the land that surrounds me, however, my nervous system doesn't handle it very well when I'm walking out of the bathroom, half-dressed, and look out the window to see a man in camo walking in this direction with a rifle.

It takes a bit to collect myself after that. Usually, taking a walk would help a whole lot, but, who wants to take a walk where the stray bullets could easily take you out? Getting out of my head and back into my heart is a neat trick, but pretty damn hard to do some days. With hunting season also comes the unexpected target practice by neighbors as I'm trying to walk and soothe the soul. Ugh. I know I'm not the target, but tell my cellular memories that.

Numb

Yesterday was my mom's heavenly birthday...I feel a little sad and a little lost.

The leaves have fallen from the trees and so begins my trauma anniversary... Actually not feeling too bad, tho I expect that will change soon. Trying to maintain a positive outlook and a gratitude attitude. So far, so good.

Sore, sad but also pleased, I got 2 broken teeth extracted today. Didn't think I'd manage. The crunching noise was freaky ? but I managed to stay in the chair (eyes firmly shut!). There's still more to go though ? Resting now.

I feel overwhelmed, upset, uncertain, afraid, very alone, and swimmy. It's been a tough couple of days with a lot of upsets.

I am sorry that you've been having a tough time @VioletButterfly hopefully things will soon improve for you.

I am trying not to be overly concerned about my health but when the cardiologist said I was at high risk for coronary heart disease, ordered 3 tests to check my heart, and all of the nurses and physical therapists keep asking me if I am having chest pains, it begins to get a little disconcerting.

I feel a little worried, ....umm, strike that, I am simply scared.
I feel alone and scared. ?
Thank goodness it is not the first time I have ever been afraid :D and I still have my sense of humor.

I had to put down my beloved cat, who was 2 1/2 less than two weeks ago. It absolutely broke my heart. She had fatty liver and wasn't recovering. Now, I have a beautiful, playful, very loving cat that I got online. She was the jackpot! I also have one we got from the shelter. She is very skinny. She also was spayed today and had all the extras.

My first cat didn't have any troubles with her spay and never wore a hood like this one. I'm feeling overwhelmed, like I did everything in a whirlwind. And I really did! I don't know if I'm trying to cover-up something because everything happened so fast. Now I have 2 cats and was talking about 3! Backed down on three.

I think I just went in shock.
