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

[Bubba]

(((((SAMMY)))))...I'm so sorry you are hurting. I completely understand.

I feel lonely today too, but don't really have anyone that I can talk to. And I'm not sure it would do me any good anyway. I'm not sure what else I'm feeling. I guess I'm a bit numb. I watched my favorite dance show and for some reason the beauty and happiness that people feel when they dance made me cry. I seem to be able to feel other people's feeling - just not my own.

I was going to go to a horse rescue place to volunteer today. Horses (like dance) touch me in a very deep place. But I got the hours wrong. I had to be there at 8 and that was an hour and a half ago. I'll have to wait until next weekend now. I think I'll be kind to myself today. Just relax and not do much unless I really feel like it.

For all of you who are suffering - my heart goes out to you. I am keeping everyone here in my prayers. I pray for peace in your life. I pray that you feel God's love in your hearts and know that you are not alone.

Now that I have very little to do with people, I feel less alone, I used to hate the game shows where everyone is happy for everyone else and everyone is smiling, when they've just lost thousands of dollars worth of stuff, but they are happy for the person that got their stuff!

I could never understand that, so I tried, being happy for the people who won and happy for the losers because they were happy too, that the winners got, what they thought they were going to get.

Oh dear, why can't I be that way, no wonder I have problems!

It's interesting that they choose to only record the 'good' happy, happy stuff. I've been training myself to feel the good stuff, by intentionally feeling as they do, happy at wins, no matter whose. The odd thing is that I can enjoy the show now, it's as if it's woken up a path in my brain that was dormant. A very odd thing, I wouldn't have expected that, if I hadn't done the experiment. I can enjoy the show now.

I was so upset this morning, I yelled at the dog to get out, I can't stand the licking noise, urgh... I didn't have enough energy to be 'nice' while I yelled, normally I'd just send him in the other room and he'd go.

I just met him again in the hallway, all happy, how wonderful to see me. Now that is love, I like that, no strings attached, no need to forgive, pure acceptance, thanks Coby.

Today I'm feeling strong though very hot, overworked, now tired, discouraged, walking on egg shells, disappointed, even disgusted, quiet, yet still motivated, determined and hard-working.

I feel peaceful, sad, a bit unsure, thankful, quiet.

 

[Chincho]

I feel lonely and sad today. It's been raining for the last 3 days and that doesn't help at all.

 

[Sethe]

Lonely.

I thought I needed to expand my horizons and thought I'd venture out and read something else, it wasn't a good idea, I feel agitated, and not so good. It made things worse, so sad and triggered.

:) + :sick: + 5x :mad: = :)- :) I don't like it.

I'm feeling content and relaxed and a little tired. It has been a long day but a good day.

I ate too many Cadbury's easter eggs, but I had to... Now I'm over the hump, it hasn't been good, but it's getting better.

Tired and nervous. I want to hear back from disability and SSI but I know I'll need to wait a lot longer. My hands are shaking and I'm jerking and twitching bad today but other than a belly ache I actually feel good. Unfortunately mine was not cadburry egg-induced or I think I'd be happier

Today's stress, noise and heat just did a really tough number on me as the day's stress and heat just continued and continued. :sick:

:eek: Omg, all the emotional grief and sadness just kinda' bubbled and showed nearly all day. The physical got tough too and the whole suddenly despairing combination just made me cry. :cry: When I could, I pushed myself further to do more in response to it all because I desperately needed some relief.

Also, I guess it doesn't help to lose sleep as I did, coming on the forum late, reading and obsessing over something entirely too annoying. :( Gee' did that thread ever just happen to, indirectly tease, poke and torment. :cautious:

I feel like :poop:.

Spent the whole day watching movies and took a nap. Now off to bed. I'm feeling fairly relaxed. A little lonely - but not as anxious.

I'm going to try some guided imagery tonight specifically for PTSD. Hope it helps! Also made a list of things to get done tomorrow - hoping to make it a productive day.
