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

[DMerish]

Contemplative (Where am I? Where do I want to go next? What does the future hold?)
Satisfaction (at getting two corners of my bedroom cleaned up and figuring out plan to pay past medical bills.)

Felt positive enough to go for a walk with the husband and the dogs. That is a great accomplishment for me. Especially since it was my idea. I didn't give myself the chance to talk myself out of it. I feel great.

I'm feeling anxious and depressed. But mostly, I feel like a shell of myself, going through the motions. I wonder where the real me is.

I feel like you are saying that I haven't been understanding or forgiving enough of her. I'm tired of being the one who has to always be the understanding forgiving one, when the other parties make no effort to understand me or take my flaws into account.

Perhaps I am cutting people out too quickly in your eyes, and that may be the case? I'm taking care of me right now. I'm grieving deeply and I don't need people who treat me that way around me. I'm sure that is understandable.

No I didn't mean that you haven't been understanding or forgiving of her. I didn't have all the details. I was meaning to explore the options with this friendship, that is all. It comes from me reflecting on my own life and some of the decisions I have made. I was hoping to be helpful and not come across as judgmental, that was not my intent.

I feel for your grief, I really do.

It is understandable that you want to protect yourself.

 

[ms spock]

If you are distressed by what a person is going through, you do not express that by attacking the person.

That is not always true - but I understand more where you are coming from now you have explained more.

I meant to reflect and break things apart and not put you down in any way.

 

[ms spock]

Anxious, stressed, low, disappointed.

I'm feeling relieved that it is time for bed. I managed the day and have accomplished quite a lot. I'm feeling proud that I haven't given in.

I feel sad that there are so many people who are struggling with PTSD symptoms and I wish I could just give everyone one big group hug and perhaps ease all the suffering for a moment.

I am doing rather well with life at this point and I feel a deep sense of gratitude and relief. I feel blessed by all of the people here who have so freely given their support and encouragement!!!

I wish you all peace and comfort!

That's ok Ms Spock, I knew you were trying to help. I probably didn't take it the right way.

It comes from me reflecting on my own life and some of the decisions I have made. I was hoping to be helpful and not come across as judgmental, that was not my intent.

I realized later on, after I read your new thread that you were doing this. At the time I guess I didn't take too well to the questions thrown at me. When I read you take it all back and express it in the first person, as you saying it to yourself, it felt much better, and like I could see what you were saying much clearer.

I feel for your grief, I really do.

Thankyou.

That is not always true - but I understand more where you are coming from now you have explained more.

I guess it can happen, I just meant that having that reaction when someone is distressed, is not the 'normal' way a person would respond to someone in distress, that's all.

I meant to reflect and break things apart and not put you down in any way.

Thanks, I just don't think I was ready to reflect on it at that time. I was more still recovering from the upset of the attack from her, and just wanted to express where I was at emotionally.

I keep getting unexpected, scary and personal news. Yesterday and thus far today, I don't exactly know how to deal with all this.

I continue to be confronted with one dilemma after another and I am so worried.

I am feeling freaked out over an appointment for an oral surgery consult later today. My PTSD shaking has already shown up on the scene. I hate the shaking but it happens when I get stressed. It can be something as simple as a job interview and there I am shaking and people are staring. Hopefully, this doctor will understand.
