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

I'm the third person for telling you

Hehe. Thank you, Kim. and also, thank you for the loving hugs. I needed that today.

Today I'm feeling somewhat happy because I have an appointment with Combat Stress up at Audley Court.

This is a major milestone for me. Thank God.

I'm also feeling totally beaten. My wife is taking every symptom of PTSD as some kind of intentional evil-doing on my part. I can't do her anger at the moment. It scares me and makes me cry.

I am having a great day. I get my hair done today. I will not have my usual hairdresser because she is sick and in the hospital. So I am feeling alittle nervous. I hope it turns out ok. Oh well I will still feel good. I have to wait a couple of hours for my appointment.

I feel....comfortably confused.

I'm feeling very good just now. I called out for help, and people are going to help with what I ask for.

Tomorrow a lady is going to the store for me to pick up some thing I need in order to function without having to be in a nursing home. I can function better at home once I get things set up for this. If my alter Rose hadn't gotten rid of so much stuff, I'd already have what I need. LOL. Some times when I go inside and others come out, things are a mess when I get back out.

She didn't need those things, so she got rid of them. Like my caftans, my small water bottles, my small plastic glasses, my hair combs (the kind that pull your hair out of your eyes), my water filter thingy. All things I need when I'm either not able to move around or too weak to lift things. But when I talked to my service missionary, she said she'd be able to help me.

Sort of scary for me, as I was in this position five years ago, but I had no one to help. I feel blessed that this year I have help. This time both sides are in high pain, not just one side is worse than the other.

I am feeling to much. There is one set of emotions for each of the things that I am having to deal with. Can't shut them away - they started as soon as I woke up, and just wont go away no matter what I do.

I feel like a stupid child:
I am on the verge of being evicted and I still can;t find a job. What it wrong with me.
I had a dumb fantasy that just becasue I have had some contact with my dad and brother, that they are going to suddenly going to rescue me from all of my problems - what a delusion that is.

I need to deal with everything, but I am so exhausted that I cant do a damn thing. I wish I had a friend close by who could be here to reassure me, to hold me and to make keep looking for jobs.

I feel scared. I'm not really sure why right now.

I feel angry and ignored. Like, I dunno, y'all might understand this feeling of being "not allowed" to talk about your trauma, that other people don't want to hear it, that you should just stop talking about it and "get over it." It makes me angry that I keep playing into the "sit down and be quiet" mindset. I feel like no one wants to listen to me... but it's not like I wanted to be raped, either! :mad:

At the same time, I feel grateful because dinner tonight is super yummy and I got candy so I can make it through all my homework and studying tonight.

After a stressful and anxious few weeks, I am beginning to feel calmer and more at peace with myself.

Feeling okay!

I'm still a bit sleepy, still a bit sore in my lower back, and feeling quite resolved and ok about my decision. I do have the urge for vengeance towards the woman who tried to get me fired, but I feel like she's probably a waste of my time, she's that pathetic and petty.

Not sure what to do first on this my day off, and trying to get the motivation to start somewhere. I feel like being creative today, painting and writing. I haven't had the urge to write properly in ages, so I'm very glad that I want to write today. I feel like I've got my mojo back...and I'm happy about that.

you should just stop talking about it and "get over it."

I think those people feel that way because just the thought of what you've been through scares them. If it can happen to you, then it might happen to them, so they don't want to hear it. It's like the animal who buries it's head in the sand.

I used to hate it when people pulled that stuff with me. I'm glad I didn't keep them in my life. I'm so grateful for this site. At least here, you can talk about what happened and fear those ugly words, "Get over it."

I feel stressed and anxious.
