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

I am feeling that I am making slow and steady progress. I am becoming more present. It is hard going but I am doing well.

I am feeling like I don't know how I will get through today. The dog declined overnight and will most likely have to be put to sleep today. My heart is broken and I will probably be the one to take her to the vet. All I can handle is getting her there then they can take her in the back room. I cannot handle anything more than that. I know she will be in good hands. She has been my best friend since right after September 11, 2001. And I hate today. If this happens today I am calling my therapist.

Frustrated that I am not getting as much done as I want to but I am improving and gaining ground.

Physical pain. So tired of hurting.

Grateful and relieved. My father has offered to rebuild our porch for free so that we can pay our bills with the money we saved for it. It is so dilapidated no one can use it(though people have been crazy enough to try). Anyhow, my father said he hasn't done as much as he should have over the years for me. Not that he needed to do anything for me but I did feel as if I wasn't worthy because he was always helping my siblings with various things and projects and not us. He would just tell us what to do and leave us to our own devices. Him acknowledging it, without any prompt from me, validated what I thought...and what I am sure some of my other siblings noticed. I felt like the black sheep.

We did tell him he didn't have to do that, pay for it or build it, but he is adamant. It was enough to know he knew he had rebuffed us over the years. He doesn't "have" to do anything, but I am relieved that he is. We are struggling.

I am feeling pretty good today. My daughter had a blast at her sisters house and will come home today. I have to go and run errands and I will get out of the house today. I am suffering from cabin fever. This will be the cure for me.

I am feeling and realizing I was used and neglected.

Unsettled and confused...a little lost too.

I am relieved. The dog was put to sleep this morning and is no longer in pain and suffering. I also feel like crap from crying so much.

The dog was put to sleep this morning

(((Laurie))), I am so sad for you. Our furry family are the ones who never judge us and are always on our side. You are in my thoughts.

Tomorrow calls for more creative efforts and problem-solving. Tonight calls for rest and sleep.

I feel strengthened, courageous and slow-thinking tonight.

Plus desiring of sleep. (lol)

KP the nut,
You are so right. My dog, Shamu, never judged me and saw me through the worst times with my PTSD. She was adopted right after 9/11/2001 of which I am a survivor. She will be missed dearly and remembered always. Thank you for your kind words.
