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

Hi!! An update on how I'm feeling now! A poem this time! :)

My hands are a little trembly,
My heart is beating fast.
I'm feeling oh so nervous,
How long will this feeling last?

My stomach's tied in knots,
Anxiety is high!
I know just what will fix it,
A piece of apple pie!

For me, when i'm not doing well, my house is the last thing on my mind. So those who really know me can tell when i'm not doing well. But they never say anything in public. They come over later and see if it's still bad, and if it is they take me out for a drive so we can talk and they can find out what's going on.
safenow - It sounds like you have good people who care about you! That's wonderful!
 
I am sad but very strong with a backbone. My husband is having hallucinations and delusions which he falsely attacks me. I am strong in that I keep gently telling him that is is a delusion. I am sad because this is so insidous to deal with. So I remain cheerful and talk to him like I would normally talk to him. Remaing calm produces better results. I am weary of this.

It all changed when the gardner came and he lost twenty dollars. He falsely accused me of wearing a bug to record him and that I was into drugs. I just let it roll it off of my back. He was so sweet this morning. I hope I can convince him that it is a delusion. He is in a bad mood. I hate it when he worries. He broods. He was so used to being in control. He does not trust me. Most of the time he does. But when this stuff happens it all changes.

I am trying to remain calm and peaceful. I hope he forgets it. I hope it is not a long lasting delusion. I hate the.

So I am feeling all sorts of feelings right now. I had such a good day yesterday.
 
It use to be worse than it is now so I just can't understand why it is not completely going away.

It's a horrible feeling Britt. I don't feel it quite so much now but on days when i dont feel well physically or life just gets a bit too much there are times when i could happily stay in bed! It can be quite small things that trigger it off, like not being able to do something or my biggest problem asking for help. I think its one of those things that are deep routed from childhood & until I complete my therapy on that time it will remain with me.
 
So I remain cheerful and talk to him like I would normally talk to him. Remaing calm produces better results.
I've done the same in different situations and it worked really well for me! Sometimes just to smooth over rough patches, but most importantly if it is a volatile situation where the person is unstable and may become dangerous. I've acted like everything was fine until I was able to get away.

I just sent up a prayer that your husband's mind will clear and that he will focus his mind on something else and forget the delusion.

I feel a great sense of loss as I mourn my father's passing today. :( *(he left behind 3 children, 3 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren). I feel shock and sadness and grief;...all the things one would expect, but I am also comforted by the fact that I had made my peace with him. I hope that he is resting peacefully now!:angelic:

I also feel deeply grateful to all of my friends and family for the loving support and understanding!!!:inlove:
