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

[KP the nut]

I'm feeling better today. I am forcing myself to keep going forward and not giving in.

I'm missing my H, he is away again tonight.

(((HUGS)))

Hello Philippa that sounds complicated are you confused about the response? Need time to process it?
You have a cool cat avatar.

Right now I'm feeling kind of weird because I am new--like I should be 'lurking' more but I want to post things/contribute. Something I wrote in my notebook when I got home today:

Tired, anxious, desperate for relief from my stress. Powerless, not futile (oddly enough). Overwhelmed with feelings. Dread +++ Want relief from this dread, wish my inner voices would be more supportive but they keep trying to shut me up and remind me to be alert because they think I am in danger when I am not.
Also sick of thinking that I am about to die of exhaustion when really I am just exhausted and need rest. Wish I could really rest. Feeling more restful now words have the power to affect my thoughts and overwrite my programming now I feel optimistic and slightly warm and fussy and a pleasant sense of tiredness. Gentle fatigue. Winding down.

(funny how my feelings change when I write down how I want to feel :confused:)

I feel sad that there are so many people suffering with PTSD, but also encouraged by the progress and successes of those here on the forum. My heart goes out to all of you who are struggling today and also for all of the support I receive here...I am totally grateful!!!

I feel dissociated and disorientated. But I know things are going to better.
((((hugs everybody))))

I am working through a major trigger from a post. Anxiety, hyperventilating, panic, abused, shocked, hurt, anger. No it was not my post. All day I felt like I should be in the corner.

(((hugs whitney))) I am also feeling the same about one of my posts and also somebody elses reaction. I just need to take time to sort myself out. I feel like I am like two people at the same time.

This week I'm thinking about myself. Tuesday (April 24th) I got a 1 hour massage at the Cancer Foundation for 10$ ! It's a special service for cancer patients who are receiving chemo or radiation. We have 1 massage per month. It did me such loads of good, I was surprised to feel tension areas that had been numbed out by the stress.

Today, I'm going to get my eyebrows made over. With the chemo, they have grown in black and bushy like a lumberjacks eyebrows :eek:. That will do me some good to get a bit of feminity back, especially with the acne that's acting up again :(.

A little out of sorts. Just too much to do and not enough time or energy. Frustrating and I can't seem to make it work no matter how hard I try.

 

[Froggie]

Time to listen to your body ((((Deb)))), it's part of the healing process.

 

[intothelight]

Froggie, I would listen to my body, but it seems to be as crazy as I am. Good one day and total crap the next. :confused:

 

[CraftyCath]

I feel sad and lonely and in pain. :(

 

[KP the nut]

I feel I need a hug so I will go have a hug from the free hugs thread ;).

Feeling like more trouble than I am worth.
Feeling inadequate.
Feeling the weight of everything on my shoulders and not sure how to deal with it.
