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

[Bubba]

Overall I feel good - upbeat and like the world is a good place. But on the other side, I am a little concerned and worried. A very good friend of mine is traveling to Colorado as we speak to visit his brother. I don't know exactly where in Coloroado his brother lives - but I am praying it isn't anywhere near Aurora.

My prayers go to everyone that was involved in that tragedy. I pray they do not develop PTSD...

Numb.

I'm tired and exhausted of being who I am

I so relate to being tired of who I am (in the sense of living my life as it now is). I do NOT relate you to how you described yourself. You are a generous-hearted, caring person who gives support to people here and I'm sure you're doing the best you can. Please give yourself a break.

Anxious about meeting up with forum members tomorrow. I know I'll be OK when I get there but I HATE travel! It scares the :poop: out of me!

I'm also excited so very mixed emotions too.

Physical health problems are kicking my butt and dragging my head through muck. The part that hurts most is that being visibly ill reminds me that many of the people around me think I'm perfectly fine the rest of the time.

I feel ok. I did my chores for the day. I took a shower and that made me feel better. I will call a forum friend tonight on the phone, feeling excited and a little nervous about that. Today is a good day. We are relaxing.

I had the strangest thing happen- I felt 'normal' today. :) And it wasn't dissociation or busy-ness or a mask or anything.
I felt 'normal', and I felt like 'me'!! Wow! :) :tup:

I have no idea why, just know it was around quarter to 3(p.m.), lol. :)

I feel nervous. I have friends coming from all over the northeast and I hope I have enough energy.

I am feeling tired and down today. I do not know why. I am having a hard time getting started with my day. I am depressed today. I hate this. I like it when i feel better. I hate this.:mad:

I feel like I have been hit by a bus.

Had a real rocky start today, as I felt a huge sense of loss, fear, and worthlessness. But the sense of loss is real as I have never really faced and grieved what I have lost of the past two years. It is time that I grieved, let go and move ahead.

Fear is a part of who I am. I am afraid of the future and the unknowns that it brings. But I also need to look at it with hope and see the opportunities that will open up. It is not dark there, just unexplored.

The sense of worthlessness is my negative thinking. That is something that I need to turn around. Part of it is really accentuated right now because I feel at such a loss as to my purpose in life. Maybe my purpose right now is just to get better, love, and give what I can to make things better.

Maybe just being alive and being me is enough purpose....

I was very nervous about traveling to York today to meet up with others off the forum but....it was a wonderful day! The weather was wonderful, sunny and warm, great company, food and wine!

I'm now sitting in my hotel room and relaxing after a very busy day and learning how to use an IPad (which my sister has leant me for the weekend)!

Another day in York tomorrow and then home on Monday.

It took courage. For us all to meet up but it was lworth it. Watch out for photos of the gang!
