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

Today I feel empowered, excited, happy and relaxed. I am breaking out of my isolation and starting to get out more. It may be occasional visits with small groups of friends at first, but I am hopeful to meet a lady friend in the future. (I haven't been in a relationship for quite a few years). I have social phobia, so moving out of isolation however slowly is a big step for me.
 
Today I felt optimistic and well, then frustrated and angry as I am made to continue on with and thru, more and more, other's-responsibilities while being continually depleted, depleted and then further depleted, and from such impossbile needs, other's-demand and other's-unrealistic expectations.

I feel unappreciated, depreciated and like a trapped, victimized, victim, one of other scape-goats and a dumping ground.
 
I am tired, cold, and have the flu!! However, I still sat in the sun in my back garden, talked to some friends, cooked dinner for my family, now I am on the forum for a while. Not bad!!! Things can always be worse huh?:confused:
 
I am so alone, frightened and cold.
I am terrified of the future, hopless that things will get better.
Lonley, empty, at a low ebb and can't drive of the misery.
 
I feel tired, both mind and body.
I feel embarrassed that I ate a whole box of lemon creme and shortbread cookies as breakfast (but they were really good).
I feel mixed up that my friend told me that her cat likes me better and she doesn't go home anymore... waiting on the porch for me to visit her mother instead.
I feel I did a good job of resting this morning and am going to do the same this evening... maybe a better dinner though.
Mood.... a bit flat, but not unmanagable.

I think I busted my chops this week and it's okay to curl up on the couch.
I think that I'm going to make a special effort not to bring home anymore of those cookies... though they tasted really good, I'm allergic to them... so I can help myself by not bringing any more home.
I think that old cat has good taste, and it is a compliment from both my friend and the cat.
I think that I'm worn down and a day of rest will help me carry on for the next week.
I think that I'm glad I'm not depressed, but I am not where I want to be yet emotionally, and that's okay.
 
Extreme dread. I have to go to Walmart today

(((I had to yesterday and when scanning looked for people I knew and found three)))... choose a time when maybe it won't be as busy. You know... now that I think about it... when I started reintegrating, I got up and went at 4-6 a.m. Nowhere near as noisy, busy or freaky.
 
Extremely proud of my self today.

It is my youngest daughters partners birthday today and they are coming round for a meal early evening today. She asked me to make him a cake, which I was surprised at, but the best and funniest bit was.

He naffed his own mother off so he could come here instead. :tup: There is a long story behind that, but not to be repeated here.

He will do for my daughter. :roflmao:
 
Validated for all I wrote in my last post.
Once I was told by someone I trust. "Not a single breath is wasted; just sometimes their not heard, to which you have to SHOUT YOUR F'ING HEAD OFF!!!"

Same person told me, "Breaths are wonderous, some are exhausting, some are whisps, some quench our thirst fo knowledge, and some arnt to be heard by others just us."
 
Wasn't gone too long and got grounded. Remembered where I was.
Concerned for my loved one and what is going on there. I don't know who to talk to about it. Grateful for my loved ones reaching out to me and refusing to let go. Grateful for this site.
