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

I feel sad and very, very scared because my father (an emotional abuser if there ever was one) jus brought a "gift" for my son: an old Winchester rifle with ammo and all.
I've been fighting this feeling of worthlessnes for months and now I have a rifle in the house...
 
Chincho: is there any way you can give this back to your father? Sorry for prying.

I went out for my walk. Unfortunately there were ups and downs...but I survived. Today (tonight really) I am now feeling: relieved (in a way because the day had some good parts), but extremely depressed / sore / scared.

Unfortunately that would only make my father angry and that's something I can't deal with. But my husband understands and he has promised to get rid of the thing. Thanks rainy_daze!
 
(((Chicncho))) Oh I am so glad. I actually got worried, and I don't know you but I am not a fan of guns of any kind. You should feel safe in your own home. Good on your husband :tup: nice to have someone looking after you and your son.
 
Thank you so much rainy_daze!
I hate guns. My boys are 19 and 15, old enough to know it's not a toy. It was me I was worried about.
I would have liked for my hubby to understand whithout me having to spell it out for him, but at least the understood, right?

Hopefully today you feel a little better now you know you will have one less thing to worry about. My partner (also male) needs things spelled out for him too, but I've realised sometimes it is better to do so than be frustrated he doesn't quite understand what I am hinting at. Even though you had to explain something you didn't want to, it is good he understood :).
 
I had a lazy day today, I did it on purpose. I stayed in my pajamas. I went to McDonalds and got a mocha frappe. I fought the old anxiety and had some success. I will have to drive on the freeway on Wed. So I have the old anxiety back. I hate it. I hate it so much. i could do without it. So I hate my anxiety. I am tired of it.

Tommorow is another day. Hope it will be better with better feelings.
 
I feel...
  • Worried about my daughter at her friend's house.
Intuition confirmed.
I feel like I kicked some ass today. Identified some good reasons for trusting my own intuition. Handled myself and my daughter's needs with dignity and grace. I built some trust with my daughter. Feeling good about being a mom. :geek:
Exhausted from having panic attacks last night instead of sleeping.
I crashed at Walmart today, hit a wall energy-wise that is... I pushed myself too far. Came home and slept on the couch for a couple of hours.
 
Has not been easy to identify my feelings today. It was a good day but it was also a difficult day, if that makes any sense.

My "t' said something triggered trauma memories and she thinks it was a combination of things, (I have some good ideas of what those triggers were) and I made some progress, but also had a mini-meltdown.

I am feeling: exhausted, triggered, deeply sad, a little angry, confused, alone, a bit frightened, depressed, and fragmented.
