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

[Britt.f7]

I'm jittery and a little scared of Electromyography (EMG) today

My mom went through this when her legs and arms weren't functioning well. The Doctor, at the time, thought it was all in her head. So he hooked her up to the machine and she had no reactions. He thought the machine was broken. Eventually he tried it on himself to see what the issue was and got the zap of his life. Karma is an amazing gift.

I wish you well on your test today. I know it isn't pleasant. Good luck!

we can have wheelchair races together.

I can teach you how to do wheelies in the parking lot. LOL.

Thank you. I need all the prayers I can get. We are thinking my cancer might be in remission since these last tests came back so good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but not out of the woods yet, since the pain and other issues are still present most of the time. But hopefully, they will go away soon as well. My physical therapist says I'm about 50% on my shoulder. So that's a good sign.

Thank you Safenow. I will check it out.

 

[DharmaGirl]

Wow, Safenow, you are really healing that shoulder well!

I am feeling a lot better than I did yesterday.

My cold has almost gone now.

I am doing much better. I'm only taking the Gabapentin at night and that seems to be working for me. Much less drowsy during the day.

It was such a beautiful day yesterday that my eldest and I decided to go to Lyme Park at Disley in Cheshire. I drove there!!! I've never driven there before but I followed the sat nav (satellite navigation) and asked my son to keep an eye on it as I tend not to be able to focus on the road and that at the same time. We had lunch together and then did a steep 4 mile geology walk up into the moors that border the Peak District. My son is a Geology student so he explained all the wonderful geology and how it was all formed. There was even a bit of snow higher up and the woods were wonderfully silent. It was cold in the wind but beautiful in the sun and really felt like spring! We had a wonderful time and I drove all the way home! I made a few mistakes in direction but I did it - yay for me!!!:tup::laugh:

Today I visited my sister. We were supposed to be visiting my H's dad as it was his birthday but, as usual, he left it to the last minute to contact him and Dad was going out with my H's 2 sisters. They are taking him for a meal tomorrow too so it is a shame there was no time for us as my H was working yesterday and couldn't go.

I do wish that family would learn to communicate! :arghh; It isn't difficult, if someone with PTSD can do it surely they can? Perhaps they just don't want too.

I'm back and forth between numb and depressed. Searching for something else to try that might break the loop, and double-checking every idea because I know I don't always make the best choices from this position.

I'm feeling relieved for getting out some stuff in my diary that is reassuring for me.

I am feeling curious about some stuff I am doing some inner work on that is still surfacing, to do with some beliefs around relationships for me. I am enjoying feeling like it is stirring stuff in me, and am excited to think that I can move beyond it and attract the right person into my life...finally.

I am hungry and looking forward to a day of leisure at the day spa. I'm sprucing up and having a gorgeous massage, manicure and waxing my legs. (not in that order). I am looking forward to seeing what pilates can do to help me develop core strength, so I can massage without getting a sore back too easily. I am grateful that I seem to have adjusted to my job and am not in anymore pain in my lower back.

I am grateful to be making good money where I work, and grateful to be able to afford leisure days like today. I am excited that Tomahawk concert is only a week away, and also excited to be participating in a friends film clip for their music video on saturday. It's going to be fun. I'm enjoying being a bit more social than I have been in the past.

I am going between being severely depressed and hopeful for a future. This is not normal for me when I crash. Maybe EMDR is helping me. I'm fixing my resume tonight to apply online for jobs tomorrow. I need to move forward and not look back. No more regrets over the past. I just need to figure out how not to repeat the past in a work environment.

Gosh I feel so overwhelmed today.

I am overwhelmed by the time I spent with my friend yesterday.

I am overwhelmed by my house. I have decluttered a lot and got rid of a lot of stuff but gosh I have so much to get rid of and to declutter. It feels like I will never get on top of it. I know I was dissociated in my house for a couple of years so it is going to take time. But Gosh it feels overwhelming today.

I had a lot of social contact yesterday and it was good but also overwhelming.

I just feel so overwhelmed.

I was so tired last night. I slept in until 8.30am this morning. Yet I didn't find it as hard to get up as yesterday morning or go to bed as I did the night before.

I didn't do my night time routine last night. I was just so overwhelmed.

 

[safenow]

I didn't do my night time routine last night. I was just so overwhelmed.

Start fresh tonight, Ms Spock. You can do it.

I am feeling really sore and weary. I think I might have done too much today. Sure do hope I can sleep tonight.

 

[Philippa]

I feel all groggy from sleeping in. I felt fresher when I woke up early this morning, but I went back to bed for a few more hours and now I just feel blaaah. Groggy, and weak.

It's not bad to break up routine once in a while Ms Spock. I'm sure you will move past the overwhelm soon.
