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

[goingonhope]

Time to go destress. I feel nervous, anxious, embarrassed, tired and worn out from our dog barking over me as I just spoke with a visitor at our home.

I feel worried, shaken and tired from not only that interaction but certainly from all that I've been exposing myself too lately.

Today was a good, difficult and challenging day.

I was feeling quietly anxious this morning from H's fast moving energy and his anxiety surrounding time, and up until he left for work and then better focused to get busy with my work. Only I discovered something gone wrong. The hose in the back of our washer was disconnected so this made for a very wet basement carpet and what a mess.

Then irked and frustrated, now worn-out and nervous.

The dog's continued howling the plows scraping the pavement, all today's efforts and obstacles is all just now really beginning to anger me. I feel grumpy.

I felt bummed out today....because I feel good for a few days and I want o share it with someone then I realise I'm not doing that. I didn't let it pull me under. I went to the gym, and shops and cooked myself something decent. I'm not living the life I want though...this is hard.

... our dog barking over me as I just spoke with a visitor at our home... The dog's continued howling...

I'm sorry you had such a stressful day.

I know this was only one part of it, but I wondered if you've tried shaking a can of coins when your dog barks or howls. I have a friend who runs an animal rescue, and she does this with the dogs - the results are amazing to behold! http://www.ehow.com/how_4510458_train-dogs-shake-can.html This is just a random link I found to explain it. My friend uses a much bigger tin - an old biscuit tin - which would be noisier. The dogs soon start going quiet at just the sight of the tin. If you haven't already tried it, might be worth a try?

Hashi thank you, I may very well try this. It sounds like a good idea and if it works then this will significantly decrease lots of tension here.

I'm feeling weird.

I've been exercising, which is good. But it's also bad... I have this weird mix of feelings. There's the good tired from exercising, where you feel like you got a good work out, but I also have the chronic pain and fatigue that I have every day that's pretty bad. So they're contending against one another.

That and I have all of these people texting me wanting to hang out which makes me happy but my depression keeps wanting me to slink into a hole and become a morlock...

I'm so conflicted. I'm trying to fight the depression by replying and making plans but I'm not as happy as I should be which really frustrates me.

Bahhhhhh.

I feel embarrassment, for having been so vulnerable in my past and for so long, and for now feeling so wounded and confused. I feel humiliated. I feel horrifed as I continue to be honest with myself about my trauma(s).

Most definitely all of the above. There's a song I've always related to that describes it really well (sorry I talk about music so much, guys!) called "Isolation" by Joy Division. The lyric "Mother I'm trying please believe me/I'm doing the best that I can/I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through/I'm ashamed of the person I am" that speaks volumes to me.

right now, I feel:
dissociated
sleepy
depressed
sore

I'm feeling better today. Yesterday was tough, so last night I watched some TV and then had an early night. I didn't even turn the computer on.

This morning I'm more rested. I'm proud that I calmly coped with a flat battery on my car this morning. I asked my neighbour for help, he owns our local garage and he sent one of his mechanics with a new battery. Much quicker than waiting for the RAC.

I felt guilty that the dogs didn't get their walk. I will make it up to them this afternoon.

I'm looking forward to H coming home tonight, he has been away since Monday. Heavy snow is forecast though so I will worry until he is home safe.

I feel really depressed today. I can't figure out why, but I'm not enjoying anything and my attitude is crap.

(((((((((((((((((Hugs to all))))))))))))))))).

I feel glad that I did 4 Dips in the Ocean today. 3 at one time and 1 later on. I walked for half an hour.

I felt bad this morning but I felt better once I exercised and went in the ocean.

I had a good day after that.

Feeling very tearful today.

Obviously an overflow of stress but I'm not sure what exactly. It feels like I'm facing the Mongol Hoards sometimes. I just don't know where to start.
