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

[Froggie]

Comfortably tired.

Had my last session for the year with my T today. So that's it for 2010. Managed to get through my first 6 months of treatment without missing a single appointment. Feels a bit like the last day of school before we break for summer holidays.

Time to chill and enjoy reflecting.

Dare I say it, proud of myself.

A good hand of aplause for SuperJen ... clap clap clap ... wow not missed one single appointment ... you're my hero, I haven't missed, just came a bit late ...

Oh thank you Froggie - that means so much to me because I have to say - there were a few sessions where I nothing short of dragged myself in there. I would wake up thinking 'don't wanna go, don't wanna go, don't wanna go'. But I went anyway. Now I'm glad!

Your hard work is paying off Jen...WAY TO GO!

Frustrated. . . My feet were doing great, but ever since the Christmas concert on 12/12, I am in constant pain again. The physical therapist is frustrated too. Now we are trying the "hard way." He thinks maybe "shocking" them will help start the healing process again. My wrist surgery was on 11/24. Just last week I finally got over the allergic reaction to the topical medicadtion, so of course now the wrist is starting to hurt again. Surgeon says it's "normal."
Tired . . . tired of being in pain and just plain tired.

Angst, boredom and restlessness.

Philippa, that combo really sucks! Hang on there!

This morning I woke up feeling anxiuos, and then I thought about this topic. I wondered what was underneath the anxiety. I tried to define my real feelings. It was a good execise, and i was able to recognise that I felt guilt instead of angst. It calmed me down, because I could handle, understand and comfort myself and the emotion of guilt. It was a real eyeopener for me to notice that I feel most strong emotions as anxiaty, instead of what they really are. In this case it was guilt coming from an overwhelming feeling of responsibility for what happend to me when I was a child.
Thanks so much for this forum and all the wise words written on it!

Fighting to stay on top and remain positive. Freaking depression feels like quicksand trying to suck me under. But this time the battle is on.

Not so under the weather today.
A little discombobulated from yesterday's session
Accepting that there will be setbacks, but knowing that now I am stronger after each
Pleased because that is a huge change from before! ;o)

No...unfortunately. I've tried to upload some of them that i scanned, but to no avail.

You're right though...I've been itching to paint!

Thanks

Happy at the new fibromyalgia diagnosis. Finally! It's not lupus! :D (Or arthritis, or MS, or. . . .)

Annoyed with certain people online but trying not to let them get me down.
