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

@Lionheart - I didn't see this until just now. Praying you're feeling better and stronger today.

I have a baby granddaughter whose name is Hope. Isn't that great? After her birth, when I was told her name, my tears flowed. I was holding her in church yesterday morning and became so overwhelmed with emotion I started crying - totally freaked my husband out!

Hope is such an incredible gift we've been blessed with (not the baby, the emotion). Are you confused? 🙃

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." - Isaiah 40:31
 
Numb. Dissociation has really been biting my ass. I just don’t have it in me to feel my reality so just numb numb and more numb. Brain is super foggy
That's such a scary place for me, personally.

Are you safe? When I am numb, I am impulsive. I act in self-destructive ways. If I get numb, I check myself into the hospital. I go straight to the ER. I explain that I am unsafe with myself. They keep me until I can go home again.

But I am not everyone. I do not know how it is for you, personally. If you do not know if you are safe (I never really know, and that unsure-ness is enough of a reason), I highly recommend it. Everything is planned out and you don't have to worry about outside stress, because you're not a part of it anymore. You're in a different, safe, environment.
Good luck! I never feel scared when I'm numb, but I know my past history with it. And that past history scares me.

I do not feel anything when I am numb. Colors are more bright. Sometimes, they're more dull. I've learned to recognize what it looks like, because I do not feel it. I am unaffected by everything. I'm sure it's different for every person.

Please be safe. Please be well. You Matter.
 
I feel frustrated over a situation with my daughter. I am physically in pain in my mid-back. My thoughts are bright and cheerful, but I am a bit overwhelmed Regarding the cancer treatments. I do not know what to expect. Is my hair going to fall out? Is it gonna make me violently ill? Am I gonna regret doing the chemo? Sleepy. Going on to bed. Nite.

I am safe I am currently still in hospital. Things have gotten really dark. Thank you for sharing your experience, it’s nice to not feel like a complete crazy person, to no feel completely alone.

I get quite similar than this. One I was standing on sand and I swear I could see every little granule of sand. Another time, I was laying on grass, and there was a shard of grass, and it was towering over me, this piece of grass was the only thing I could see. Gets super trippy. I’m glad you have a plan for when you feel like this.
