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

[CraftyCath]

I was very anxious this morning as I went for my first Podiatry appointment. I couldn't find a parking apace so i had to park where I could get a ticket. :eek:

The appointment went well though. My feet are 'pronated' (ankles lean in) and I was given some exercises to stretch the Achilles tendon. She also gave me insoles to put in my hiking boots but I can also use them in other shoes too. And I didn't get a ticket! :D

So I feel good. I'm pleased I got through it and even went into town to the bank.

I'm still physically tired due to the anemia but I'm getting there. :D

I feel tired. Emotionally, that is. Drained, and exhausted.
I feel ashamed. I don't tell people that I need help, that something is wrong.
My stomach feels like it is wrapped around a sour ball of ice.
My heart feels electric and like it's fluttering too fast to pump blood.
My body keeps shaking under my skin, and my legs twitch and jerk.

I also feel numb, and upset that I feel numb. I was offered a wonderful opportunity to do a little freelance writing from home (not for pay, but to a large audience) and I can't even muster excitement.
I feel like I am on auto-pilot. I want to be happy and funny and witty again. My brain feels like it's made of white static and quicksand - if that makes any sense. I can't produce interesting thoughts. Today it feels like all I'm DOING is feeling. My brain has checked out.

My own anxiety of traveling tomorrow is now kicking in. Not too bad but if hubby does not take his time and listen to my directions, we could get lost and he will stress out. Which will then raise his anxiety levels before we even get there, and his are already on the way up.

But if I can give directions from the back of a bike, and not get us lost, the car should be no problem. She say's. :rolleyes:

Feeling calmer than I have for a few days. I think a mini-break from the forum (no offence guys!) was needed. I'd burnt out with my diary.

Getting a little anxious of dad coming up tonight, but trying not to think about it. If it turns sour, I can leave.

Trying to not let thoughts pull me down. Trying to be positive or neutral. Battling my body. :(
Avoiding SI.
Trying to feel positive as saw words that said (every) life= one rose. But there have been roses all over the place for a week or more, even 2 or 3 more this morning, except for on Mother's Day when they didn't apply for me, trying to think they have a positive connotation. Though can't quite put the thoughts to the 'feeling'.

Woops, the feeling to the thoughts(?) :confused::oops::O_o::sleep:
It's like a puzzle I can't fit the pieces to.

I feel I should feel more grateful- yet I DO feel thankful- I also feel confused, disoriented, exhausted and like garbage, :notworthy:. Probably also afraid, vulnerable and at a loss. 'Small', tired, speechless, terrified.

Aww Junebug, I'm so sorry you're having a hard time today. Do something for yourself, even if it's just watching something naff on telly.

I feel so sad and depressed and I want to run away from life.
