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

[Shellbell]

Today I am feeling like the weather - grey, dreary and bleak :( It's therapy day.

...my sister...was sleeping and looked so peaceful...hope that it is over soon, as she has no quality of life.

My sister is a lot like me stubborn, head strong and independent. It makes me so angry. Please god, let her live till I get there. A bit selfish on my part.

Dearest friend,

You and your siblings have truly led most challenging lives. Poverty...Genetics...Illness...Abuse & Neglect...and Lives Cut Far Too Short. Each one of you unfortunately seeing your own likely future in what your siblings have already endured. :(

Well you all, in your own right, are very strong even though the paths you each traveled have been distinct. But one thing you, my friend, are not is "selfish".

Your sister is able to sleep, and her pain is being managed. What you are simply "praying for" (not in any religious sense) is the chance to say "goodbye for now, my love." And although some may feel that she is no longer aware of much, if anything, you need that goodbye for you and she may need that sense of your strong but loving presence to finally let go.

Love, in this case, is anything but selfish! I will be praying for you to receive that wish and for your sister to receive that one final gift from you.

Embracing you while gently holding your heart,
Alex

Feeling much sorrow for my one friend, much hopefulness and strength for the fighter whose footsteps I follow (Deb), and much elation for another friend. As for me much numbness and pity surround my own medical and mental plight.

Bone weary, disoriented and relieved.

I am feeling motivated to go outside for a walk. :happy:

 

[Moonkindredlass]

Scared
Shaky
Alone
Lost
Tired
Pain
But still hopeful, barely but there you go.

My heart hurts, and I feel confused and scared...and sad.

 

[DharmaGirl]

I am feeling annoyed, petty, put upon and ashamed. Dang, camping is supposed to be fun.

I am feeling awesomeness. I just watched the Kung-Fu Panda films back-to-back. Believe it or not, I find the first one really helps with my own insecurities and I find the second has useful (for me) advice about dealing with trauma.

They remind me who I am. What I am. What I do, not just for a living, but in everything.

Not so kung-fuey, I'll admit, but I know my calling and I can't ever let it go, even though it gets hard sometimes.

Interview with the fire brigade tonight, too. :woot:

I'm anxious, very nervous about seeing a new MD. Found out yesterday that my therapist only sees people who are getting their primary medical care at that clinic, she's keeping it a secret for now. The MD at the clinic is nice, but I need more care than they can offer there... geez, I'm confused and scared.

I am feeling great. My husband had bad hallucinations last night and I slept through them. He is doing ok today. He told me about them. And he is doing his routine for the morning. I am glad he has them at night. It will be difficult when he has them during the day.

I look forward to the day. Even though it is cloudy outside and we have the heater on, it is cozy. I feel good.I do not know why but I will not question magic.

 

[KP the nut]

camping is supposed to be fun.

Not for me, give me a good hotel or guest house. I'm an inside plumbing girl :p.

I'm feeling tired but relaxed today. The next week or so is busy and I am taking time for myself daily.

(((HUGS))) to all.

Not feeling much today quite yet other then real surprise and relief that I have woken up to see another day. Somewhere in that cloud of still being half-awake, is this feeling and it's a good one.
