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

Frustrated
Misunderstood
Criticized

Yesterday was my birthday (which some of you know) and I did fairly well. I did become physically ill about 10:30pm in the evening and I am physically sick today. However, that is mild compared to how it usually is. Anyway, there is a neighbor, that says she's a friend. I told her that I wanted to spend my birthday alone with my children and that I usually end up physically ill. I never got a response from her (which I don't if I mention my PTSD). Then today she had her son come over and invite me over again!!! I feel pushed, pushed, and pushed. When my son told her no, I wasn't feeling well she sent me a sarcastic text "So, you are sick? I guess that means you aren't coming." Gosh, what can I do to get this woman to back off me where I don't look like I am overreacting???? At this point I will say nothing, and just feel ill.

Oh, Hon, no.... please know you're loved, wanted, needed. Your life is tremendously important!
Please do some self-soothing, nurturing.

You are so incredibly wise, wonderful, beautiful, important...even if you don't see or feel this, you are.
I can't express the thoughts and emotions stirred at the thought of your being in so much pain.

I'm holding you close in my heart, beloved (((((((((((Cherryblossom)))))))))))
You are loved,
Deer
 
Just took a dive and got triggered... got plans with my mom and was trying to frame up the schedule for next week...
and my brother was there. She slid it in casually and I triggered and went cold. Huge body reaction.

Run away ... flee response.
Duck, cover, hide (he's in town)
Afraid to answer my phone (this will pass, this will pass, it's only for a weekend)

((((((CherryBlossom))))) I understand CB. Please try to remember when you have had these feelings in the past and remember how you made it thru. As Deer said, use your self soothing skills. I know it means forcing yourself to do them because you don't feel like it, have no energy to do so. Maybe put on some music, take a bath, go for a walk. I wish I could be there to look in your eyes and tell you how special you are. You've made such a huge difference for so many people here. We love you CB.
