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

Validated and understood by my T. Much relief!

I like that you feel validated and understood by your T Pottershand. It's sounds nice!
I feel happy because I just saw the movie Thor and it was nice to see someone who had rages turn out good in the end.

So happy that my daughter is home (the dogs are so v v v happy as well)
Looking forward to a lovely family couple of days, sun, wine, good food and walks.

I feel a bit envious that people here can still emote and I feel like a figurine.... I look like a person but don't feel like one still except briefly.

I feel some frustration that I don't have a full time job, and I don't know if I can handle one still but I want to try.

I think that I am distancing from the trauma memories some and wondering how far to go to get the results I want.
I think that I can make a difference somewhere and I'm not sure where is best for me.

I feel really frustrated that I wore eyeliner for the interview, and now the eye thing is back. It's official, WTF I'm allergic to eyeliner now too. Ack.

Wow Albatross, thank you for putting into words what I have been struggling to find. But even those brief connections reassure us we are still connected!

I so loved my eyeliner and am going to have to learn my beady eyed self now too. Fudge.

I feel the need for a cup of coffee and the company of a friend.
I feel contemplative.

Physically, I feel tired- my eyelids feel heavy.

I've been stressed out about this week's events and haven't been sleeping right.

Emotionally? Hmm, I'm a little excited about seeing my T, but I can't manage to identify anything else.

Hello Albatross,
Thinking of you.

Perhaps start with casual or part time work? Maybe even one day of volunteering a day to get your feet wet again? Start small, manage that. Enjoy that for a bit. Then add more when you know you are ready. Don't take on too much!

(I know sensible spock is about today - so unusual ;-D )

Confident.:)

I am coming out of being numb for awhile. I was always full to the brim with emotions and never got any respite. It is hard from every angle I think. We have just suffered too much.

It is good to hear that you connect from time to time. Perhaps be a little easier on yourself. Those little connections are important too. Maybe that is all you can deal with at the moment. Though many of our coping mechanisms look strange or odd from the outside, (or mainly from our own very critical eyes - most of the time I suspect) these coping mechanisms kept us alive through the worst of it.

We have to build new ways of being before we can let go of the old. I have been doing this for 26 years now and I am still learning that being kind to me and less critical towards myself can help.
