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

[goingonhope]

I’m feeling too good, like I don’t belong on this site. So many stories, such pain.

Hi Brontie, if you're currently feeling this good, you could now be doing one of perhaps a hundred different things that will deepen this feeling, opposed to expending anytime within this day remaining here. Go ahead, give yourself permission, create something in this day that reinforces the good feelings you're experiencing today.

goingonhope,

Thank you. I do work with positive affirmations and they do help. But it’s all swings and round-a-bouts - ups and downs. I have been dealing with this a long time - it’s almost a part of my personality which I accept. I recognise the signs; when I’m down the only way to go is up - and, unfortunately, vice versa.

You mention a pain in your chest. I grew up with a pain in my chest. Then one day I just couldn’t take anymore. I was on my own and I called out, “Enough is enough! I can’t do this anymore!” I waited for the sky to fall, it didn’t. That was an important turning point for me. Then one day I realised the pain in my chest was gone.

I hope you don’t have to wait too long for the pain in your chest to be gone.

I feel I have achieved something good today. Two community car journeys, two elderly people taken to appointments, total miles 13.

i feel exhausted from night after night of nightmares then having to pretend all day that i'm just like everyone else
i feel alone becase i have to keep the secrets and know nobody would understand or accept me
i feel ugly because the memory is real and so disgusting
day by day...

I feel as if I have more control over my life than I have for a long time.

I feel not in so much pain both mentally and physically.

Glimmers of hope and happiness. Little rays of sunshine in a life full of dark clouds.

Forgot to do this (I try to do it in the mornings now as part of my self care)...
Sinus headache (I love spring but it doesn't love me... allergies)
I felt "electric" at the sternum (solor plexus)... I'm holding some tension.
I feel (2/3rds through the day) some trepidation about tonight with my mom, but she shared with me last week about my dad sexually abusing her when I point blank asked and was considering joining this forum for my traumas... and she didn't have to. So I will do my best to walk it out, hold her hand, and enjoy something with her.

I thought I'd had a reasonable day, but perhaps I was just 'stuffing' everything away. Because now I feel very low :cry:

(((Aw CherryB))) Accept it at face value, it most likely was a reasonable day... if you're like me, okay is anticlimactic.. Most often that's why I feel low.

It was a good day - but the bad times seem to over-rule anything good :(

We can learn how to balance them out and beat them back into right perspective.
