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

[Tanishq]

I am frustrated that I have not walked at park place from last three days. Tomorrow when it is not raining in morning, I will go there and have walk. I don't care about evening/morning time now.

Feeling pretty stressed.

((((Ms Spock)))), linking arms with you.

Anxious and on edge. Invasive memories. My skin feels prickly, like there are hot needles underneath my skin. Feel disconnected from myself and my surroundings.

Really high levels of anxiety today. I still went to the submission writing meeting to help out. It really was difficult. Came home and had a nap and then started on the other submission despite feeling crappy. Couldn't do as much as I wanted due to waiting for information from other people but I got started. And I didn't stay frozen for the rest of the day. So that is improvement.

This evening I am beyond frustrated and feeling hopeless. I have been being confronted with, and forced to manage, far to may priority obstacles and all simultaneous. Below the surface I feel so much frustration, exhaustion, ineffectiveness, fear and hopelessness that I feel inwardly enraged.

I do not have time and the ability to cope with additional problems. Suddenly last night and now again tonight my feet and ankles are, for the first time ever, problematic. They are covered in what perhaps is allergic contact dermititis and certainly hives. They are swollen with little and no feeling. My feet are very itchy and in places bleeding. I feel frightened, disgusted and haven't a clue as to how to find some relief.

Meanwhile, I am on another deadline which must keep me awake all night long or else I've failed. The catch is I'll fail no matter what, because the job, its enormity, the limitations and its completion is very likely impossible, but not only this, meanwhile my usefulness to others and myself is not presently wide enough to count. Though, I can barely see what I am doing it can't factor in, it must get done and I must continue with the seemingly impossible.

I am beyond angry and scared.

(((((goingonhope))))), yes I believe you that is hard to deal with when things happen all at once. So much stuff to deal with simultaniously and all this gets trapped with the PTSD symptoms and increases / intensifies our emotions and pschological aspect. Linking arms with you.

I upped my levels of activity. The resultant anxiety was rugged. But I did much better in terms of doing stuff.

I am feeling stuck.

Feeling better tonight - still anxious but not to the degree that I was this morning. Watched a couple of movies to take my mind off things, then went out for dinner with my ex-husband, my daughter and a family friend; it was relaxing and we had a good laugh together. I had a couple of cocktails and a yummy dinner. Home now. Going to watch another movie to wind down, then maybe bed.

I wish I knew. Maybe scared, not quite sure why. My mother is gone, finally. I'm safe now.

Mid afternoon has brought much relief. My intense paperwork is for the time being done and delivered. I am feeling better because I allowed myself a shower, and (2X) .05mg's of ativan to come down from levels of fear and anxiety which were pumping and zoning me out.
