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

After taking something to calm down I feel so much better. I'm best at freaking myself out over little things like stopping Prednisone. My anxiety was making the whole situation worse. I needed just to calm down. Everything will be okay now even if I have withdrawal symptoms because I know what to do now instead of flipping out. Life is filled with so many what if's that my PTSD overrides my common sense at times.
 
Hypervigilant. Again. Honestly I get so tired of always waiting for "it" to happen. And I get so tired of feeling like if I don't wait for it and be ready it really will come again and hurt me just as much as it always did.

I hate getting and being stuck in this mode. I hate the way it makes me feel so scared and feel so much dread. It really frustrates me that I feel like if I just stop preparing for it and just relax it will probably definitely happen.

I wish PTSD would just let me realize and believe that I'm not in danger. But it doesn't. And on some level I'm pretty much convinced that I'm in danger. Like all the time.
 
and that I can ride the thing.

I'll get you some stabilisers KP! :roflmao:

I'm feeling stressed because The central heating boiler is making the most horrendous noise. The dial had risen so my son and I tried to bleed the radiators. first we couldn't find the key and then they were all so tight we couldn't turn them. The pressure has dropped but the needle is slowly rising again and it is still noisy.

I have just arranged for some breakdown cover and a service but the company will do an inspection on the system. :eek: If that fails I may still have to pay the insurance cost without the boiler being fixed. It could take 28 days for the inspection and I'm not sure the boiler will last that long.

It is too cold to turn it off and it is a combi-boiler so it does the hot water as well. We could be burning logs on the living room floor if this carries on. :eek:
 
The yelling part is direct quotes of several people in my life (mostly in the past), but it comes out sounding like my own thoughts now.

I feel for you Spiderallis -- those multiple voices of others who have hurt us that disguise themselves in our own inner monologue are so overwhelming. Hope you are able to quiet them down. Sometimes I try to refute them outright.

I'm feeling off-kilter but I'm managing.

(((hugs, sun and future bike rides for those who want any or all listed here)))
 
Well I knew it was going to happen - the boiler has broke and I have no heating or hot water! This could be expensive.

I have a gas fire in the living room but the rest of the house is freezing. I was going to Wales today with my sister and my Aunty and Cousin who are visiting from the US. Now I have to stay in and wait for the plumber (he is coming this morning sometime).

I don't know if I'm disappointed or relieved not to be going out, I get so stressed and then I'm confused about how I feel. Does that make sense?
