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

unlovable, unworthy, guilty, shame.
A burden, sad.

Thankful, loved, accepted

Glad to be with my grand-children, but feeling more and more physically tired.

Still on the waiting list for chimo, starting to get worried.

((((heidi))))) hang in there!!

I'm feeling unmotivated...is that a thought or a feeling?

 

[goingonhope]

Today has been a very long, most tiring day. I feel over-tired after a full day and lost sleep last night due to the craziest experience and tormenting sensation directly between my left and right backbone. (I think there is another name for these (backbones), but I don't know it right now.) ...But anyhow whatever that symptom was from, it was truly just awful, and it kept waking me up from surges of electrical energy or something; Absolutely a torment and weird those jolts and the rest of those quite uncomfortable sensations were,.......remarkably weird, in addition to next to impossible to sleep.

Like a failure. Back to the drawing board.

Why Deb?

Dear Intothelight,
We all surely can fail at certain things some of the time. That does not make us failures. We are human. All of us will fail.
You are not a failure. You may have royally screwed up. That is an action. You are a kind, caring person who listens very carefully to people's posts. You respond with truth and gentleness. I am very grateful you are here. The choice to respect you is mine and you can't make me stop by any mishap or error you have done. ;- }

I feel the same as Mercy, nothing I can imagine you doing or saying would change that, to me, based on what you've already done and said and precisely who and how you are (beautiful, kind strong sweet honest and caring).

Thank you for your warm and uplifting comments. I feel like I fail myself. I wake up and have these goals to achieve and I try really, really hard, but sometimes I fall so short, and so flat on my face; I get angry with myself.

It is the battle inside and that is really where my battle is now. Ever since my ex got locked up, I have these huge expectations of myself and I am not living up to them. A good friend tells me I take on too much and set the bar too high, and I guess I have to fall hard a few times before I learn to make the changes. I am stubborn with myself this way.

Feeling some anxiety. It feels like it may be hard to leave the house today, but I have to go.

Feeling glum. Lonely. Isolated.

(((Deb)))

Are your goals realistic? If you try to do to much, try to be wonderwoman you will set yourself up to fail.

So what if something doesn't get done, do what is needed and try not to be hard on yourself if everything isn't finished. Stuff, goals for the day are great but start with maybe one or two as you feel able. I sound like some guru speak at a convention but, set yourself up for success. Reward yourself for what you can do and what you finish and don't worry about the rest.

It has taken me a long, long time but I am now much kinder to myself and I think because of that I have been much happier.

I feel angry.
I feel frustrated.
I feel like I want to physically act out.
I feel like I want to walk a way and never come back.
I feel fear of my suicidal ideation.. same plan I've had for the last 8 years... get my gun, get in the car, drive across the country, have a nice couple of days at a state park I most appreciate and blow my head of in the lodge.

(got triggered at my shrink appointment... don't mind me... I'll be okay... just wanted to put down what I avoided most all of today)
