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

[p-no]

Wishing you some energy and for the pain to go away, Cath. I do have that (cramps in my legs and pain in my bones/hands) when I get my period... Sucks.

So: I feel lots of pain today (see above) and also sad and in grief. Scared, too, I suppose and a bit helpless as for some things in my life right now there aren't very many choices and those that are there aren't great ones.

Feeling overwhelmed. So much on my plate. So much coming up for me. Emotionally fraught. Week five off meds.

Hugs to all that need them.

Feeling very tired and emotionally drained today. Still not recovered from yesterdays melt down.

The Naproxen I am taking for my lower back pain is making me feel sick, tight chest and breathing problems. Will see the doctor tomorrow. Don't want to take it any more. Rather have the pain.

So tired, need to sleep.

I feel down on myself today
I feel a bit angry

It's been a real struggle today (depression, anxiety), but I'm feeling a little better now.

Feeling okay. Bit stress, can't eat but managing.

Feeling stronger today and more settled. Still emotionally fragile, but this to will pass.

I feel hurt today. My marriage is falling apart. Well no, it has. And we know it and we also know that without her I'm screwed. And not in the good way. Oh, like I know what that is. HA! Yeah so today is Mother's Day. So my wife is hurt because she's a step-mom and it is an even more thankless job than a mother. And she is a great mom. We tried to have kids. She can't. And well I'm me. Broken. Joy. So it is also the 9th anniversary of our first date. Blah!

Oh and Mother's Day brings up so many wonderful memories of my childhood and how I can't express my love to my mother. HA! Kidding. My childhood was crap and my mother was a terror. Emotional and verbal abuse. I haven't seen or spoken to her in 14 years. I figured out when she told me she wished she'd aborted me that it was probably time to cut the ties....who knows? I would have called my aunt but last year when I did my uncle said as he handed her the phone, "I don't know why he's calling, you're not his mom". Can you feel the love?! So today I'm feeling hurt. I'll probably feel that way tomorrow as well. However, if I'm lucky I can throw on a side of anxiety. HA!

Today I thought of a new approach and I haven't thought of a new approach for awhile so either that means I'm desperate or it's a good sign because I'm back to trying. So I'm trying to be stronger. I'm trying to not be so scared of the symptoms. I'm trying to be less moved when all the bad stuff happens. I'm always so optimistic about new approaches. I always think I'm on to something. But they usually don't last but if I'm just feeling stronger in general then that's good. I was very not tough when all this started. Maybe I needed to get tougher or maybe this plan will also fall by the way side.

I'm in a very difficult emotional place right now. Despite all of this anxiety I am very much aware of and grateful to my friends for their support. Especially Bilby.

I'm finally seeing my silver linings again. And I'm very happy about this.

I'm finally seeing my silver linings again. And I'm very happy about this.

Glad to read that.

Although I've awakend way too early, my spirit is up. I've had a four-day period of constant depression-anxiety (and insomnia), but I'm feeling much clearer today.

Feeling better after a heart to heart with hubby last night.
