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

Son's first year in football, senior year, after a long hiatus. It took him a lot of courage to join and I am very proud of him. However, he came home today and said he doesn't think he is going to get any playing time due to not being good enough. My heart breaks to see his face. I know he just has to try harder but it just hurts to see him so disappointed. Not a good night.
 
Felt OK this morning. Then hub tripped over and badly grazed his elbow, and I felt upset, scared, and eventually (when I realised he'd tripped over his perpetually unfastened shoe laces) very angry at him.

Managed to reign it in though, and now don't really feel anything.
 
Feeling better than yesterday, but still not back to where I was. Still lots of anxiety to process, so who knows what my new normal is going to feel like.

Had a sleepless night and looked at where I have been walking through lots of fear lately, one after another, so can see why there is still lot of pain to flush out of me.
 
Feeling angry at people who think I should be better by now. I really don't want to go back to work on Monday. I have enjoyed my sleep and I know it's not healthy, but with sleep I have been able to accomplish little things like tidying up, making beds and cooking dinner...

Feeling anxious as I have to make an appointment with a psychiatrist. I have managed to put my studies on hold for 6 months so hopefully I can focus on getting better.

Feeling depressed today, have been crying a lot.

Feeling like I am the hamster in the wheel, going round and round in circles..
 
I woke up feeling better and more positive today. I slept through the night and have energy today. The medication withdrawal took a lot out of me physically and mentally. It was dangerous to do even though I was told to do it by a nurse practitioner. I learned my lesson on who to trust about my health. And learned to be my own advocate.
