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

PROTECTED : an elderly lady was driving her car and wasn't watching at the intersection. She didn't see me at first but stopped just in time before I fell under her car. Physically I'm OK, just got scared and was really mad at her ... I could see she felt awful and she took the time to open the passenger window to excuse herself. The lady beside had tears in her eyes so I left the situation with a non-verbal BE CAREFUL CAUSE NEXT TIME YOU MAY REALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO BE SORRY ABOUT !:mad:
 
Pain. Lots and lots and lots of physical pain. It's so bad I'm nauseous, and have a real bad headache that is borderline migraine. Then there is the usual ever present anxiety. I know I have a short fuse today, luckily nothing has lit it yet. I haven't taken anything for the pain because I'm nauseous. If I throw up I won't know if the medicine came up or stayed down. I'm waiting for the nausea to settle down before I take anything.
 
I feel a bit down, a bit depressed, don't want to go to work today. Wishing I hadn't smoked so much weed, as it is now having a downer effect on me. I'm a bit sad today, and feeling lazy. In a bit of a dilemma right now and not sure what to do.
 
Uneasy and overwhelmed. I'm applying to a local college and I have to explain why I've had a break in my education in the application... Which is the cause of my ptsd...

*deep breaths*

This is very difficult for me right now.
 
99Phoenix99,
I just went through the same thing and had to explain away almost twelve years of nothing on my resume due to PTSD for my application to graduate school. Be proud of yourself for applying. I'm proud of you. Keep taking those deep breaths.

I feel really tired, but not sleepy. I hope I can get some rest tonight. I am out of nightmare medicine and so I feel a little apprehension about going to sleep. I am still waiting for my doctor to call in some antidepressant medication, and feel somewhat depressed and sad. :(

I am struggling with physical pain as well and feel frustrated. I suffer insomnia, but do have some medication I can take, it just hasn't been very effective as I wake up after a couple hours of sleep. I don't really like having to take so much medication, but for now it is necessary.

Anyway, despite all of this, I am hopeful for a better day tomorrow and am really grateful for my forum friends. I take great comfort in knowing I am not alone and that I have friends who can and will support me through the hard times. It means so much!!!
