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

I am feeling well. That is a good thing to feel for a change. Yesterday, I was feeling sluggish and poorly. I'm glad that I didn't assume it was the depression and treated my body to the rest it needs when my chronic illness acts up. Sometime's the differences between the two can be subtle. My therapist wanted me to push through it, thinking it was the depression, but I chose to sleep it off. She thought I would feel worse. I actually feel better. I'm glad I chose to listen to myself. I'm glad I'm doing well today.
 
It has started. I am beginning to feel the effects of sending that e-mail to the counselor I have been seeing. Once my mother's estate had been settled, after waiting for 1 1/2 years, I was at a different place with this counselor but I continued to see her. I would need to see someone so I saw her, and then would beat myself up for doing so.

Her comments like I should go to see this one person to get a massage because her mother was almost as bad as mine, I still remember. Lots of feelings and anxiety for me to let go of, so will need to give myself the time it needs!
 
It's the day after since I sent the e-mail to the counselor about cancelling our next appointment. I'm telling myself, that I did it, and then I seem to be having feelings of just being numb. My body is experiencing something so different.

I got out my notes to read from our time together, but I just couldn't. At least not today, maybe just too much of a reminder about me and the relationships that I had at the time with friends and family members. So much has changed since I began seeing her.
