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

[Deleted member 12723]

I am feeling ok. Today will be a very busy day for me. I am feeling lonely so it will be good that I am going to get out of the house and interact with other people.

Very drained. Therapy session today that went for almost three hours. Talked in depth about my family and the way they treated me. Talked a lot about the day my mum died. Talked a lot about when those boys sexually molested me when I was a toddler. Came out of therapy feeling like I'd unloaded a lot of things, which was good, but intense exhaustion immediately followed.

I am feeling very crappy and down.

I am feeling better this morning.

Yesterday was a bit of a roller coaster of a day.

I went out to bellydancing last night and I went to a mindfulness meditation class as well.

Have plans for the day.

I am feeling 100% better today than I was yesterday and I thought that was important to share.

I did mindful meditation this morning, spent a couple of hours on the internet, went for a walk for an hour, ate breakfast, washed up, thought things through reasonably, made an appointment to have a student do my hair at the TAFE, tided up, threw out a few things and generally I am managing much better.

I am having reasonable thinking today in my head. This comes from self monitoring and from challenging my thinking.

Shortly I will get dressed and go and mind the art gallery and do some work there, after that I will go to Tai Chi.

Feeling a bit bloated from breakfast, but energized and ready for the day ahead. Painting and yoga are on the agenda today, so looking forward to that.

Overjoyed to have realized that my love for life has returned...genuinely, I feel it in me, and I seem to be able to appreciate people and things much more than I have been able to previously...which I am so very relieved about. Things are looking up.

I'm grounded and in the moment, feeling comfortable with the temperature outside, still a bit wheezy from coughing the last two days. Smoking even for two weeks here in Ubud has had a noticeable effect on my lungs, and I am listening to that and cutting back. I want to be smoke free when I return to Melbourne, but am a little concerned that I may be addicted?

I feel receptive to the day. Apart from a slight pain in my right upper back, and lower back, I feel really balanced and healthy here.

I am feeling drained emotionally, physically and have little back pain.

I'm feeling excited and a little scared. We have booked a big family holiday to Florida for the end of Feb for 2 weeks. At the moment, I am too unfit to do all that we will be doing so this afternoon, I'm off to join the gym. 6 months to build up my fitness.

I'm feeling proud that I handled a work situation well. I have been dealing with a really poisonous person, last week she pushed the boundaries. I was so angry I phoned my manager from home as I was still churning. Very few of our drivers will take her as she is so rude. Everyone says, 'oh that's how she is, you won't change her'. Well, no more from me and management committee has backed me.

(((HUGS))) to those who want and accept them.

I can't wait to go back to bed. But, in my defense, I did have a very big day yesterday. Went to my sister's house, which is an hour away, and spent most of the day in the pool. Came home sun burnt. I'll never learn. Had a good time. Though, last night, I had a dream that my sister and I were fighting. We didn't the whole day. I don't talk to her much about my mental health issues. She was really good when I had my breakdown, but she isn't consistent so it is just easier to not talk about them.

Other than wanting to sleep I am feeling good. Just tired.

Am feeling like crap, as my anxiety levels are skyrocketing beyond my control and the tears are, just one step away, from Niagara Falls. Am fleeing back to my apartment to hide, until this passes.

Restless, agitated slightly, feeling a bit hungry, need to sleep more but couldn't fall back asleep. I've been restless all day yesterday...I think from having so much energy and not being able to run or dance or do anything to exertive because of my ankle. Feeling a hole in my heart area after interacting with a friend online and telling her about my cat!

Can't stop my legs from moving while I'm sitting here...so restless. I have excess energy that I wasn't able to release or something? My neck is a bit sore on one side, and my lower back is still aching, and I'm a little tense. It's getting closer to the day when I leave Ubud, and reality is waiting for me back home...I'm really not looking forward to it.

I feel unsure about how I feel right now, emotionally. Physically I am hungry, tired, restless, energetic. Mentally I am feeling alert...but wanting to sleep.

Feeling a bit low.

Woke 4am with panic attacks which continued until 6am.

Tried to meditate, unsuccessful this morning.

Dressed and ready to go to volunteering. Just have to eat breakfast before I go.
