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

[Tinyflame]

Oh Froggie, hee. Thanks for making me laugh. :laugh: A 'rutt', anyway.

Really though, I can't be 'non-ptsd', which has implications for others. And secondly I think, I shouldn't have spoken up. Everything within me has been taught not to, for everybody's sake. "You're only as sick as your secrets" aside, I was taught you bear your burdens on your own.

(((Sweet Froggie)))), I think of you every time I see a (sweet) one, xoxox.

 

[Froggie]

We are many who have been raised to not express ourselves, times change, and it's a good thing. We are like pioneers in that domaine, speaking out after how many years of silence ... it has to be done, even if there are consequences, at least those consequences are not as bad as the consequences of silence ((((sweet Junebug))))

 

[Tinyflame]

I hope so Froggie. It's hard to believe. It's seems 'wrong', in my situation/ mind.

(Except for speaking out on others' behalf, of course). (((((Happy Canada Day Beautiful Froggie :inlove:))))))

 

[Tinyflame]

I seem to have so much 'proof' it's wrong. :( Idk even who I am any more, except for 'ptsd-negative-consequences-person'. :(

 

[Froggie]

It's seems 'wrong', in my situation/ mind.

It seems that way the first ... second ... third ... times, it depends on the amount of conditionning we underwent throughout the years, especially childhood years with all the rearing of respecting this and that person even if they do wrong. Sure our mind and spirit are confused, but comes a time we have to respect and love ourselves if we want to move on to love and respect others appropriately.

 

[Tinyflame]

Froggie, what does it mean as regards 'appropriately', in terms of love and respect?
(I'm guessing vs fearing them?)
Thank you.

 

[Froggie]

It means that we can expect the same regards back ... the same respect and love, something that we can trust in as being natural and not imposed. Hope this clarifies.

 

[Tinyflame]

Oh wow Froggie, thanks. I can honestly say I don't expect that back. Not sure if that's even possible. Even treated with dignity is- how ridiculous is this- difficult.

Only expect that someone tells the truth, and is good to their word. And even then I wouldn't stake a life on it. And 'expecting' a person to come through, well, if you hope they will and they don't, it's not worth what it takes out of me to ask.

But I am getting somewhat better at recognizing if I feel lousy, I can (hopefully) just leave. Or not be a 'willing participant', when getting insulted/ run down.

In some ways Froggie, it's ok, only myself I can control, so I do what's true to me. I don't have an expectation.

(((((thanks, sweet froggie, xox))))

 

[Froggie]

Be at peace with your sweet soul ((((Junebug)))), you make so many efforts that it will pay off one day ... it did for me, just don't take as much time as me ... OK ;)

I feel lonely
I am tired, even though I slept, it wasn't good sleep.
I am nervous. Very nervous.

I am very pissed off about something, well, two things.
I don't even feel like being here (the forum) right now, but I know it will help me a bit.

I've been trying to think of a positive feeling to end off with, but I cant feel one. That sucks.:cry:

 

[Indra]

I feel tired and the day just started.
I feel my thoughts moving too fast while I´m standing still.
I feel "clogged".
I feel alone.

 

[KP the nut]

(((HUGS))) to all.

I'm feeling positive. I have a lot to do today, I'm doing 4 community car drives. It does mean I have to get my butt into gear.
