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

I am feeling okay today. A little anxiety is building. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon so I couldn't take my morning dose of Klonopin in order to be able to drive.
 
I feel numb.

It's been an ongoing trend this past week, and then I hear about the Boston Marathon Explosions... I live shy of an hour from there.... And it bothers me that I feel nothing. It's literally so close to home, I know people who where literally a few blocks away from the explosions...

And yet... Nothing.
 
Frightened, worried ... going for the first TACO scan to see how this new chimo treatment is affecting the cancer. I will have the results this Friday. My friend is still alive, he is surprising everyone, he is just soooo determined to live. So that too is getting to me. Even with meds, I don't sleep well. Have to watch out for my anxiety level as PTSD sneaks up on me when that level goes up and then I have to put up with intrusive thoughts, nightmares and dissociation.
 
(((Froggie))) I am there with you in spirit.

As usual, I am battling the fallout of stress the day after. I am disappointed and worried about the cancer marker that showed up and apprehensive about the test results. I don't care if it is PTSD that is making me feel afraid and disappointed. I really don't know what the rules are for dealing with cancer, chemo, remission, residual disease, etc. The feelings are there and have to be dealt with. :(
