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

Take care Loloma. I'll miss you.

I'm feeling relaxed now that H is home. I'm feeling good that my grocery order has been delivered and unpacked.

I am feeling hopeful, - wow, what a word. And feeling. :) That's been a reallly long time.
And amazed. Amazed at feeling hopeful!

I don't know where to put this, but I guess I should put it somewhere.
Recalled my dad very physically ill (he seemed to have ptsd undiagnosed, btw), came home (worked away), and we all had unadalterated 'fun'- laughs, love, bar-b-q's, worked outside, went on vacation, camped and had no baths (lol- me, him and the dog, anyway), fished, ate every treat that existed, were in the sun all the time- and my dad said, "I guess this is what I needed, to be at home, my family, working outside, being in the sun.." Anyway, he got a 'remission'.

But what amazes me is- occurred to me, he didn't show any ptsd symptoms. In the whole 2 months. There was no ruminating, no anger, no insomnia, no depression. Just lots of 'living'. :)
But he (we) did visit his childhood home, his dad and brother's grave, the church where my parents were married, the mountain he used to ski on.

So maybe therein lays part of the (my) answer. :)

And also, he had said, I was exactly like his dad- was a Vet(eran) but died when my dad was 16.

I have no idea. I'm never able to identify my feelings. I would say I feel like a failure, but I'm not sure that's a feeling.

I'm feeling a tad numb and low today. I feel as if getting through today will be a hard work. I feel I need to force myself to get through today.

Feeling physically drained after my weekend - maybe not such a good idea to deal with 3 kids when it's my chemo week .... but what the heck, the love was worth it :inlove:

Sad and scared.

I feel like I'm surviving. I've showered, dressed and been to work for 3 hours. I've been for acupuncture as well. I feel tired, still down and have a headache.

Finding my footing again. Totally wiped out from yesterday's steroid crazy. At least it didn't last as long as it did last week. Man, my whole body is sore from the tension; even my jaw. Can't get my mouth open wide enough to take a bite of a sandwich.

Tired and hope to crash tonight and sleep.

Dear ITL- what a beautiful avatar!

Froggie-I'll say -it's worth it. :)

Disappointed in myself and specifically my PTSD Head, hurried this morning and despite interruptions would have made it to something important, a little late, and then promptly jumped on the wrong bus. :(
(So needless to say, it will also be 'Day 1" tomorrow for the 14 Day Challenge, as well!) :(

However, I tried to think of it as 'meant to be', as could not be changed. Good reminder for me also, that even what I think is in my control isn't.

Terrible anxiety. :eek:
