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

I am frustrated. I keep inadvertently re-tearing my glute muscle. I have to sit on ice packs, which I am grateful I am in a position to do, but I am thus immobilized and due to the nature of my PTSD symptoms, I get extremely uncomfortable and frustrated because it is therapeutic for me to move when I need to and I can't right now without exacerbating the problem. Got to double up on mindful meditation and be patient. Nausea. Tired.
 
I'm doing better as of late. Though, when I'm filled with time on my hands I just want to lay down and sleep. I know I have to think of constructive things to do and actually do them.

I am getting rid of two meds. One, I don't think ever really worked for me and I tried to tell that to the nurse practitioner but wasn't listened to really. The other they prescribed for bipolar but my therapist doesn't see that in me. I was looking to cut down in my meds because I really take too many and it is costly. There are two depression/anxiety ones that I won't quit because they really helped me out of my darkness. This is unfortunate because they are the more costly ones. Sigh.

Reading a book, Sharp Objects, and the main character is a cutter. I thought I would feel a connection to that and worried about it slightly when I started the book. Surprisingly, it doesn't seem to connect to me. For one thing, she is a different type of cutter. I would like to say I am in past tense, but I don't think that is possible. I haven't done it lately. Still it lingers in the back of my mind.
 
Sleepy and satisfied from a day of play with a painting that I am very happy with and proud of so far. Cannot wait to see what else comes out once the glazing process is complete. Looking forward to tomorrow hanging out at the beach, drinking cocktails and getting some sun, maybe a dip in the Balinese waters...and then an exhibition to attend. I'm enjoying my time here, despite the tests I've faced, and the hard lessons. Heartbroken still,, but feeling encouraged to heal now.
