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

Washed out. I just want to go back to bed but I will go to wood working.

I'm feeling a bit annoyed today as I seem to have taken some of the blame for someone quitting something that really, if that person chose to quit is their problem not mine. Nor is it my fault! We are all human and just because someone didn't like what I said, does not mean that they can blame me for their act of quitting. I did not say anything of a nature that at all was aimed at that person, nor did I say anything that was insulting to anyone or attacking anyone.

Anxious. Again. And hypervigilant. Again. I'm confused and reading into something someone said and I have no idea if they meant what it looks like they said or if they meant what I think they said. I'm so confused. And now I don't know what to think or how to respond. I've gotten myself all upset. I hate it that I can't think and process things like a "normal" person. I feel so defeated and doomed.

Could you check with the person?

 

[BlackbirdSinging]

Could you check

I wish I could but they're unavailable until tomorrow or the end of the weekend. I don't know which.

No matter what the person said, or meant, or didn't mean, you're not defeated and doomed.

What's the worst that can happen if the person said something and meant it?

Much anxiety, stress and need for rapid performance today.

My body felt mostly unwell, but I did take a couple quick 10 min. or so rests. I felt very uneasy around food and uncomfortable feeling like I had to choke it down.

Having said this, I find it strange how I'm observing right now that perhaps part of today's experience has resulted in peripheral memories of something in which I had wrote and have since deleted. Perhaps all this could be partially responsible for the ridiculous hour which I'm awake still tonight and even after crazy amounts of push and work.

I should at least try to give myself a break!

I feel pretty good emotionally, yet still exhausted, and with a lot of pressure all about my neck above and below.

I am feeling proud of myself that last 2 days I didn't collapse mentally. I kept going on and building good momentum for more healing work.

Exhausted. Annoyed. Distraught. Gee and this is a good day.

 

[BlackbirdSinging]

Devastated. My daughter just told me some extremely intense and serious news all at once with no warning. It totally took me by surprise. My anxiety just spiked. I can't handle what she just said. She needs me to be there for her. I need to say the right things. I'm struggling with how to calm myself down and be there for her at the same time without freaking out. This is overwhelming me.

 

[Abstract]

This is overwhelming me.

Ouch. That sounds hard Blackbird.

Can you put the news and the pressure aside for now and just do something to bring down the anxiety? Something soothing and self caring? What do you need at present and what can you give yourself? Its like the oxygen mask on the plane analogy. Sometimes taking a moment for yourself first will help you be there for others more easily.

I tried to send you a private message to take this conversation off of the thread but I didn't see the option. I told her I needed a few minutes. I started to get tears in my eyes and then went almost completely numb. I'm going in and out of dissociation too I think. I'm totally dazed and like gone back in time.

To stay on topic with the thread.. sorry everyone. I feel numb.
