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

[Britt.f7]

Like I'm on a roller coaster mood wise. Can't seem to decide if I'm happy or going to cry.

On a good note, I took a chance and put a couple of my poems on my blog. I got a very good response from that. One of my poems didn't get a response, but that is okay because I like it. The rest did. So, for that I am proud of myself(for the courage).

Still can't get out of my teary funk though.

That is great that you have started a blog. Is it on this forum?

I was at my therapist appointment and told her that I wish I never embarked on this process. I am feeling pretty much overwhelmed at all levels.

No. But, one of the poems I wrote, that got the most likes, I did put on this forum under poems by us and others.

I'm sorry that you are feeling overwhelmed. Even if you had not embarked on this journey, you would still, be traveling it. I've noticed, no amount of ignoring it will ever dissipate it. Definitely wished it would disappear.

I am feeling apprehensive and emotionally chocked up - which also produces throat tightness!

I have been doing really well in developing my ability to recognize emotions, and to acknowledge them to myself, and write them in my journal. I had just start being about to articulate them, with the positive one's being easier than the negative.

Now that the issue of my family has unexpectedly appeared in my life I feel terrified! (I just said it out aloud). All of the "what if's" are running through my head.

I am soooo frightened, because even if I get a positive response it is going to be a hard path to travel and I am not ready for it!

I'm worried for me as the pressure that I now feel to stay "quitted" from smoking has gone through the roof. Yesterday was day 1 and I was OK, but I woke up this morning after a hard night filled with terror monsters (this had been abating), and wishing that I was dead.

I think this is from family emotions wanting to bubble to the surface - the family ice-cube in me has started to melt and it's too mcuh for me to deal with.

Feeling less disgust and disappointment over my failed suicide attempt before Christmas because of supportive Christian friends.

@medic72 For me, lonely is a deep ache in my heart, a starved for affection and acceptance. I wonder how it is for you?

I went for a walk for an hour and a half. I watched some birds. I had a cup of tea at the local cafe. I was feeling agitated that I wasn't doing enough and that I was running late. (I was an hour behind schedule.) Then I realised that this was a bit silly. I am doing things. I am doing okay. I was harassing myself and picking at myself. I was feeling stressed and didn't enjoy my cup of tea. Then I settled a little. I went for a quick dip in the ocean - that felt cold. It was good though.

So I feel, not worn out, but relieved? - feel exercised and that is good. It is a good way to regulate my emotions.

I'm praying for you Mercy!

Feeling worn out after a busy day.

I am feeling warm and strong.

Feeling stronger every day. Ended up with a rough patch yesterday, but I just let the feelings and the tears flow. Funny, I always saw crying as a sign of weakness, and now tears for me are a sign of healing. How things keep changing, for the better, never ceases to to amaze me.

@mercy, I am sorry where you were, I can't think of a better thing to fail.

I like your friends! I am glad you are here. Keep letting it out and rise above it.
