Sick. Woke up almost choking on phlegm, stuffed up nose, sore throat, feeling pretty shithouse and do not want to attend class today or have the session on my balcony. I need to be alone. I'm upset about my cat, feel like I don't exist?? I'm worried for some reason...? Generally tired still and need to stay in bed and drink hot things, and not have company. Annoyed at seating arrangements for the class. I'm sick of feeling crammed into a corner and everyone else feels the same way. Tired of the teacher being so nicey nice, and still very sunburnt and annoyed. Needing attention and cuddles, but when I'm offered them I pull away and refuse? A bit maudlin and confused still.

I am feeling really relaxed, calm and peaceful. I feel happy and loved. I feel mellow and yet, excited that I am continuing to make progress on my healing path.
and so I wanted to share this with you all:
I have found that simply paying attention to my breath going in and out like the ebb and flow of the ocean helps to calm my anxiety and grounds me in the here and now moments. It also invokes 'visions' of gentle ocean waves and I find that to be very calming/relaxing. *(I was born in the sign of water) ;)
I don't know what works for other people, but this 'mindful "breathing exercise"' works better for me than controlled breathing does. It is a 'method' I learned a long time ago from a spiritual healer and adopted for myself. I use it anytime I wish to begin a calm, meditative state. I re-discovered this exercise while doing mindfulness meditation and thought it might be of help to others.
Wishing all peace, healing and comfort,
Lion

Feeling stuck and frozen today. I had a shower. Did a body scan mediation. Still trying to get moving. I took half a Valium. My psychiatrist gave them to me last visit to help on the really bad days. Wish I had taken one earlier but I still don't feel comfortable taking them.

:hug:'s Ms Spock.
I am feeling jealous, I know it is wrong but it is how I feel.
A family member has been going through a bad time and everyone has flocked to her. She has set up an Facebook page to advertise her textile work. She has given me such awful, badly made 'things' in the past but the stuff on her page is very good.
I guess this shows what she really thinks of me.
I am jealous of all the help and support she gets and the fact that family are embarrassed by my PTSD. I am so angry and I hate feeling all these roiling emotions. :(

I am feeling sad, angry, like I'm going to cry, and not in control of my mood swings.

I must be feeling anxious because my face feels tingly and numb?
Made it through the day and did some good work on my painting, which felt good, although I felt terrible and was sneezing constantly and blowing my nose so much I could hardly get any work done. Had a meltdown after lunch and had to take a nap and just cry from exhaustion, grief, overwhelmed, exhaustion and missing my mother so much. Really bawled my little heart out, but it had to be done. I feel better now, but my eyelids are strained and feeling sapped from the day. Started my menses cycle on top of all that, but that serves me right for asking life what it felt like throwing at me next I guess.:rolleyes:

It is hard to feel feelings like this CraftyCath.
It is hard to feel like you are missing out.
Thanks for the hugs.
