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

The thing is....our T's are trained to handle things situations like this. No good therapist would reject or abandon us for telling them how we feel. That is in fact part of why we are there isn't it? To learn to work through our traumas, as well as how to express and regulate our emotions? I think your T would take it like mine...

Iam, I am absolutely sure that you are right and that my therapist would handle it properly...in my logical head. However, as always, my emotions, fears and feelings don't agree with my rational brain and the fears happen to be 1,000 times stronger than my brain.:unsure:

I am feeling irritable! The cold symptoms came back last night and I had to sit up half the night because I couldn't catch my breath. Grrrr! Not fun at all. Now today I am so tired and feel horrible!:(

It's not gonna last AngelaMarie. You're gonna feel better again unexpectedly and before you know it. Sorry last night was so crummy. Please at the first opportunity find the rest you need so you can bounce back from this sh'tty cold.

OMG do I understand that Law. In time we are able to translate it from our brains to our hearts. That is in part what our therapy is doing. You will get there, I have no doubt!

Discouraged and frustrated. Last weekend I spent 2 days with my mom and her side of the family. I was mostly ok while there, and initially after returning home. Then yesterday I totally crashed. I am discouraged and frustrated by feeling like 48 hours has transformed into losing 4 years of progress.

Feeling good today, completed 2nd day at the gym. Don't feel any physical pain, just optimistic that everything will improve if I stick with it. Well that's what I'm feeling, a glimmer of hope at last.....:tup:

Feeling scared and inadequate, also a bit panicky--have chance at another job but have to take an enormous test. My brain is mush now and I have no ability to concentrate. I'm afraid that if it gets tough I'll just give up and I NEED this job. It is really far beneath my educational level and if I don't get it I'll feel like such an incredible worthless failure. Trying not to think that way but the truth is that's how I feel. I start in a few minutes and it will run through tomorrow. I will know on Friday. Now I wish I hadn't told my T about it because she'll remember to ask. I certainly won't lie and it is going to be so humiliating when I have to tell her I failed.

If one cares about others, as you so deeply do, then one will "inevitably" be hurt at some time, especially by those we care about the most.

For me, I prefer caring, even though it can and will at times be personally painful. A full life includes all the emotions, even the ugly ones. Being with someone in their time of need is spiritually rewarding in an undescribable way.

I'm feeling blessed. To have the ability to love and be loved. That is success in my eyes.

LawPhotos,

Hope it all works out for you, try not to think about failure. When the time comes relax, chill out and concentrate on what is in front of you. Not what is behind you, just for this short period of time. You can do it, you really can...... :tup:

I am angry, furious, and totally disgusted with my husbands GP.

For what ever reason she has, she is refusing to supply any up to date medical evidence for his PTSD, so we can send it to the Department Of Work and Pensions.

Its not much to ask for, but she is being so effing objectionable about, for what ever stupid jobs worth reason she has.

A small sense of accomplishment in the job hunting task. It's a good thing.
