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

[KatB]

Confused. Dazed. Fragile. Overwhelmed. Disconnect from family/home. Numb. Holding on to hope.

Happy. I am doing THE HAPPINESS CHALLENGE here, also reading the book THE HAPPINESS ADVANTAGE by Shawn Achor, which is the inspiration for the challenge here. Doing the recommended things really does increase happiness! I am also happy that it works!!!

I am feeling confused and nervous, unsure. I feel like I have complicated things by trying to be more social, when I know I have been happier as a hermit in the past. Unsure if I have allowed the extreme social-ness of the town I am living in to get to me and succumbed to pressure to conform and be more social. People at my work think I am outgoing, but I always loved being quiet and preferred to listen for years. I'm unsure as to how much I am faking it, and how much my extroverted side is coming out to play?

Not looking forward to work tomorrow. Feeling like curling up under the covers and journaling about the name changing issue, and hopefully try and assure myself that it's not a disaster. Needing support with this though...it's so confusing and weird right now.

I also feel glad I de-friended that woman a few months ago. I prefer male friends who let me be myself and who I don't have to walk on eggshells around or feel that I need her approval for every thing I say and do. Good riddance to that.

Still feel like s**t. I absolutely hate being sick, it saps all the energy out of me. It is week two of this infection that has taking it's toll on my body. Headaches, ears popping and ringing. Throat not so sore anymore, because it's in my chest now. Urinary tract infection a little better. Septicemia lessening, redness and swelling decreasing.

I know I am whinging, just can't help it. It seems that I have spent more of my life being sick more than well. That's only the physical side of it without even looking at the PTSD. So pissed off at my parents for passing on their crappy defective genes. Most of the time I manage to fool myself that I am fine, only to have a deluge of infection thrown at me just to bring me back to reality. Endocrinologist visit this month. Heart specialist on Wednesday. Three monthly blood tests done last Thursday.

I will get over this because I am bloody determined and stubborn. I will kick this infection in the arse, as I am determined to live a better and more fruitful life, before I kick the bucket.;)

Feeling so stressed and anxious. I have been having suicidal ideation feelings. I am struggling.

Hang in there Ms Spock, I know you've heard it heaps, but it does get better with time. Keep communicating on the forum and ask for help if you really need it.:hug:

I feel a little better. I saw my psychiatrist and she said I was reliving trauma over and over and that the suicidal ideation and hopelessness and helplessness were part of that.

My homework this week is to practice breathing. I feel I can manage that.

I've been going through a few "down" days. I don't feel like I belong anywhere and can't seem to socialize with anyone. I don't really go out but I have several places I go online but even in a pixilated 3d world, I just don't fit in.

Glad to read that you are feeling better Ms Spock

 

[ms spock]

I am feeling like I can manage now.

 

[ms spock]

I am feeling a high level of anxiety this morning.

 

[ms spock]

I felt high anxiety all day today but I still kept going.

I think I graduated from feeling down to miserable. I can't seem to concentrate on anything or to stick with my usual routines.
