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

[Philippa]

Apprehensive about starting chemo today. But not as anxiety ridden as I have been. Working hard to be calm and positive. I hope it lasts.

Sorry to hear.

Have you tried some deep breathing? It always helps me feel better when I am anxious.

Feeling like I should be in trouble, feeling like I deserved worse.

Feeling like maybe if I got punished for whatever I did wrong maybe my guilt would lessen.

Feeling like I should be getting shouted at or sent to a corner or hit or something.

Feeling a weird sort of desperation.

Still feeling this way. Triggered so badly by my tutor's visit Tuesday and then my friend was offended by my group's presentation yesterday. :( I feel awful about it. It was a whole "cultural aspect" of it dealing with religion. I only pressed the slide show button. Still, I felt bad that we'd offended her. I didn't know that we'd done that.

Feeling sick to my stomach and nauseous. How could I have let that happen?

I feel a little "off-center" this morning. I am beginning to wonder if the replies I make to threads, with the good intentions of helping, are actually helping or making things worse?!

While I have done some good recovery work and have been in therapy a good number of years, I am still just a sufferer who is prone to make mistakes, oversights, etc. ...and two of the wonderful symptoms I have from CFS is slow mental processing and becoming easily confused.:confused:

I am not a trauma expert by any stretch of the imagination and so I try to only speak about my experience, but in my desire to be helpful I may be giving personal opinions that are counter-productive and I am hoping this is not the case. Then again I may be suffering from an exaggerated sense of importance this morning and more coffee may be in order.;)

(((((LH))))) you speak with your heart and that is important. Some need time to let the messages sink in and don't do any feedback, others give feedback. That's PTSD for ya !

Today I feel confused, even though I was given some marks back in Person Centered Planning that were really awesome I still feel anxious, scared and depressed....

intothelight, I am sorry to hear you have to go through chemo, when my Dad had his first day of chemo my sister and I brought him his favourite CD and the game RushHoour. The music helped to calm him and the game helped him to focus on somethimg else.... I hope it goes as well as it can. Your in my thoughts today. Wishing you well.
