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

[Duckgirl]

I read on here in a different thread, the difference between a triggor and a stressor. I saw the man I love in the triggger section induced by the stressor section, but I also found me which was quite a surprise. I came here looking for ways to help him with his PTSD and how to deal with it, becasue I am causing us to go in a direction I don't want. I love him compoletely and totally and I want to have a life with him once we are in the position to move in that direction. In the meantime I have an enormous amount of stress in my life. It's rare lately ewhen I don't have a headache, and while I dont' let the headaches keep me form work or the thigns I want to do, they do .nfluence my attitude to a certain degree. and I don't sleep well at all. I have about a zillion challenges daily, and not to be a whiner, I'm just looking for answers........

Still tired after my day yesterday. But feeling a little better after my nap. Emotionally, I do feel a bit wiped, but no where near where it was a short while ago.

Surgery on my wrist tomorrow. Feeling anxious to the point of nausea. Just need to get it over and start moving on. :cry:

Feelings are just a perception of electrical impulses within the brain with the intent of information relay

*sigh*

Numb

Surgery on my wrist tomorrow.

I wish you well on your surgery! I know the night before my surgery I find it difficult to sleep..even though I know that I have to get up early the next day.

I'm still exhausted and physically weak, not sure if it's a cold, side effects of new meds or the last week catching up with me. It's okay, I have time to be lazy.

I understand your exhaustion. sometimes even lacing up my shoes tires me out and I am not kidding. As i am new to this form I was wondering whether anyone experiences frozen feelings?

I was at a family gathering and they were talking about an assault on there son and I immediately had to get up and leave. Driving all the way home I was scared and worried about something going wrong with the car..hyper sensitive and anxiety ridden to the point where I had to have my wife stop the car so I could throw up. I wanted to go to the hospital so they could put me out of my misery as the klonopin wasn't working but my wife talked me back from the edge. When I feel this way I just want to die.

Does anyone else experience these frozen fear experiences?

High anxiety, tears, hard to breath, tired. Nightmares all night that leave me feeling like I have been hit by a truck. Feeling frustrated with myself. Need to pull it together, have lots to do today.

Keeping busy helps but i empathize with your feelings which pass with time. self talk helps as my therapist has taught me but it is sometimes hard to put into practice when these feelings overwhelm us.

You can do it.

I really don't feel anything. I suppose I should be more specific: I feel mostly numb because that is how I get when I'm around my parents too long. They do not like nor really allow for much emotion and I've been here since school ended so I'm really starting to withdraw into myself. I know I should feel angry at some things my father said today but I don't. I should be worried about my mother who just had surgery but I can't seem to. All I feel is numb, which I hate because it makes me feel like a fourteen year old again. It will get better, I just feel like I'm taking ten steps back in therapy just from coming "home".

It was a fairly good day. I don't remember too much of the details, thank heavens (lol), ...no but for real, much went fairly well, some even good and I feel spent and tired.

:) Oh' yeah, that's right, :yuck: I was feeling some pain earlier with mammogram. :wtf:...;)

I feel uncertain today. Mostly I have been sleeping.

Intense urge to cry my eyes out and lose my mind being home. I REALLY, REALLY dislike this time of year. I dont understand nor do I know what to do with myself anymore. This time of year is really weighing down on me and due to traumatic events lately, I just find that time is certainly not on my side. It's Tuesday and it feels like a long Sunday. Strong feelings:grumpy:
