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

[Britt.f7]

Fairly satisfied feeling today about how I've raised my kids. Seems they are compassionate and respectful, even if they do slip every once in awhile. I rarely allow myself a pat on the back for parenting, so this is a nice feeling.

Also a little lonely because my husband has to spend the afternoon at Music Recitals instead of here with me, which is usual for a Sunday.

Been feeling kinda weepy or numb the past several days.

It seems that it was time for me to see things differently, thus, another layer and more awareness to this event or that situation and asking myself, how in the heck did you get through that?

I have just had an unexpected visitor, someone I thought I'd never see again.:eek:

It has left me feeling anxious, nauseous and a bit confused. I don't know why she came, if she passing on info to someone else or weather she was genuine.:confused:

I was myself though and that is all I could be. It doesn't stop the stress though. :(

I feel numb. My kids just got picked up.

Feeling relieved that I can stop here for a bit before I go to work today. My job has all the usual hassles, office politics and bitchiness. I on the other hand don't have the usual capacity to cope with all of this. The work I do is OK, and I enjoy it most of the time. However, the nastiness, backstabbing and total lack of workplace support leaves me feeling totally isolated, and by the end of the day I will be "traumatized" by the crap.

Coping strategy (have put these onto a post it to remind myself):
1/ remind myself that I must work to make money (I really can't just get up and walk out) so:
2/ I will not accept nasty comments, I will deflect them away from me,
3/ I will not accept responsibility for other peoples mistakes,
4/ When I get anxious / frightened I will take a mini break and do some deep breathing.
5/ I will go for a walk at lunch time.

Wish me luck! And, thanks for being here :)

I'm feeling tired now. I had a nice night, I read my book, had a glass of wine, ate a little chocolate and then watched some trashy TV.

The dogs are waiting for me, Max is warming the bed :eek:

I did all my assessments last week which was good.

On Saturday I went to a printmaking workshop with a couple of friends. I was so tired that day.

Yesterday I was so tired. I did a litlte stuff around the house yesterday so that was good.

I feel very alone and lost. It is the sister closest to me in age Birthday today. So that is a little sad. But good I got away from the family.

I have a little bit of despair about how much more work I have to do on myself. :(

I am feeling better. I did a lot of cleaning today, the big stuff so now I am in physical pain. That beats emotional pain any day of the week!

I have to stop running away and hiding and avoiding. It has to stop. Trapped.

I am angry at my parents for making me responsible for my brothers and sister. I really hate what they did to me now. I have memories coming up.
