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

[AngelaMarie]

I still feel very sad but I don't know why.

((((Cath)))) Maybe you are sad because you can't do your walking?! I'm glad your son was there for you.

I feel okay. I slept real well today and it took the pain away from the walking I did yesterday. That's a relief. I remember how much the fibro hurt the last time I started exercising. It will get better after a while.

Dread
Anxiety

I promised some friends I'd go out for dinner and now I'd really like to cancel, but I can't because I cancelled last time.

Hey Chincho I just have to say--because I find myself in this situation all the time--that you still have the option to cancel if you want. Its too late now, but just for future reference.

I know it can seem like an impossible situation because both choices seem equally bad. For me it gets to the point where my feelings of dread FAR outstrip any kind of guilt I might feel about "letting people down".

I wish I'd had that feeling of dread a few weeks ago garblefraz. It's a good reminder though, thankyou.

I know it wasn't directed at me, but it still reminded me of times when I have done the same and wished I'd just cancelled, and ended up in the worst situations that could have been avoided if I'd just cancelled.

I feel dead and paralyzed. So angry at my ex for changing plans on me and refusing to allow my children to come see me. Feeling so powerless and disoreintated. Where is this world? My body is obviously here where I am sitting, but I am somewhere else.

I feel better physically than I have for 2 weeks. Just 'weak'- what a silly word!

((((Hugs to all, xox)))))

Garblefraz--

I ended up going. I had a few laughs and those made up for all the "advice" I got...

Thanks to my well-meaning friends, now I know my problem is I don't go out enough, laugh enough, watch enough comedies on TV, and stop thinking about myself and my problems all the time. :mad:

Sometimes I wish people would try a bit harder to understand, and other times I wonder why I care.

So today I feel.. a bit angry, disappointed, dumb, and most of all sad.

Philippa--

It is sometimes absurd to consider that our emotions are meant to help us xD

In response to your other message (about your father): "Oh hey, you're mad...but thanks for calling." <-I actually interpreted it this way as well, I'm sorry to say Philippa :( I got pretty much the same kinds of messages from my family. It can be tragically predictable!!!

 

[Garblefraz]

Sorry to hear that Chincho.

I am feeling sleepy and relaxed- yay school's out!

UPDATE FOR TODAY:

I'm feeling bored. :rolleyes: When does school start again? :roflmao:

I'm feeling sleepy. Oh so tired. :sleep:

 

[Ice_Fire]

I'm feeling frustrated and anxious :unsure: and don't know what to do with myself.

 

[Tinyflame]

Chincho, I think you should feel proud of yourself, you made it, had fun, and learned something about yourself.
And I'm sure your friends were glad you came, too. :)
((((Hugs)))

Garblefraz--

It was a bit like that...like, WTF? Um...hello...PTSD, been seeing a counselor for the last 10 years...working two jobs, studying...fairly functional here...how 'bout you though? Hmmmm....It was a total joke that he could be that insensitive and at the same time accuse me of having no feelings.
