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

[parrotthepolly]

The pub I'm in appears to be playing a playlist specifically designed to f*ck with me, so...EVERYTHING

The last four songs have been Rock the Casbah (reminds me of an old mentor who served in Op Granby), Fortunate Son (yeah, just...yeah...), Comfortably Numb (reminds me of my time training for our equivalentof SWAT and the beautiful, redheaded lunatic I met there) and Like A Rolling Stone (reminds me of my time assisting the Navy SEALS in the Med).

Holy shit, a lot of my friends and lovers are dead.

Why do I always have to be left behind to deal with it, man? Seems unfair.

Those are really popular songs, it can seem like it was directed at you when parts of your brain are active but it's obvious not...

Oh yeah, I know that. I was just wryly amused by the sequence of songs. It's like they had my ipod hooked up.

I moved on to another bar, chatted to a couple of folk, then a goth girl arrived who I had a nice night with a few weeks back. We spent the whole night chatting, sang Master of Puppets on karaoke and generally had a great time.

Until the guy she was actually there to meet showed up and turned out to be a kind of intense creeper, so she retreated to the toilet and didn't come back.

I left her in the charge of her female friends and headed off home.

She's been in touch this morning.

Lazy. Nothing pressing today. I am taking the dog for a couple hour walk today and packing for some travel, California and South Africa. It should be a nice break, I have struggling with stress overload for a while now and it has greatly impacted my health.

 

[In the weeds]

Overwhelmed.

 

[Rose White]

Foolish
Tired
Anger at self

That’s all the stuff I feel when I’m alone.

At work I was kind of manic—extremely patient and also hyper focused on details.

I will not see my children before I go back to the war.

I don't know how to put it in to words.

 

[parrotthepolly]

Unbothered in the worst way and completely hopeless.

Now frustrated cause some people in this thread completely ignores how they are feeling and talks about ANYTHING ELSE unrelated to the title !!!

 

[In the weeds]

Happy that I have had some great conversations with my brother. We haven't talked much for many years but recently, since the death of our youngest brother, we've been talking a lot and it's been amazing.

 

[Paladin_141]

She cancelled.

Things have been bad lately, but I had her company to look forward to.

I can't do this anymore.

 

[Rose White]

Tired, overwhelmed, foggy, exhausted, gross

Can’t catch up. But I guess that’s to be expected. I’m in the final push of my Masters program. It will be over before I know it and then I’ll collapse for a little while and hopefully pick myself back up and put my energy into fun/interesting stuff.

Forgot to add feeling kinda old lately. And fed up.

Relief...
