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

I find that when I can't feel anything (which I guess is feeling deadened) I can feel if I listen to music. I'm numb right now so I have to put on music first and then I can answer the question.... I find Adele's song 'turning tables' works well.

Oh.
I feel angry
abandoned
difficult
sad
alone
hopeless
a bit crazy
and like I'm bad but I don't know why
disillusioned
and...um....anguish
Its a physical hurt.

My T taught me that you can give yourself a hug in a way that helps your brain when your numb. You cross your arms over your chest with your hands on your shoulders and then pat/tap your shoulders interchangeably. Its grounding and balances the brain in some way....

Sending love out into the universe because it fills me up and costs me nothing!
 
Nervous...my head tingeling from lack of sleep. Will see my T. Two hours from now and I try to prepare. THere are some things I want to be said so I write them down but even if I know she will listen and try to sort my problems out I am nervous about what she will say...IT feels like I have to take some steps back in my recovery. Dissapointed at my sellf and angry..but I have to admit befor it get worse again...I have to learn to accept my limits. Wonder if I will make it to go to the class after that...Something tells me I have to...so that the failure not feels wors or take controle of me.
 
Hopeful. In a couple of hours I am on my way back home from a few days away with my boys. I have made some positive strides in a couple of days. I am hoping that will change some things for the better back home. I guess the trick always is how do you implement change is the same environment you were (are) stumbling around in?!:eek:

I do that. My T calls it a butterfly hug, I also use it when I 'go' to my safe place.
