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

[ms spock]

Anxious and stressed. Panicked

 

[goingonhope]

Sad, depressed and angry - hurt.

I am beginning to feel "safe" probably for the first time since I was very young. This has come about as a result of working on a 'safe place visualization exercise' I was given as part of DBT (dialectical behavior therapy).

For many years, I had believed safety to be an illusion, (like whistling in the dark in order to make myself feel better), but I am now beginning to feel safe in actuality. As a result, I am feeling relief from anxiety that I wasn't even aware that I was carrying. I am starting to feel a deeper sense of peace and relaxation.

I'm aggravated. The first bit of snow for the year froze both of my car doors shut. It took quite a bit of work to get in there.

Why did I bother coming home!? H and lads have obviously fought while I was away and I have come back to more arguing.

I am so sick of it! There is no where in this damn house to escape to, no peace anywhere. If I could leave I would but I have no money and no job. If I did go away for a while it would only fill me with dread knowing I have to come home.

I cannot cope with it and I feel so trapped. I need to be on my own but there is no where to go. A small village with no facilities, no friends. Even when I am out as soon as I step back through the door my anxiety levels jump straight up and so does the hypervigilance.

I feel like there is no answer and never will be. :cry:

Ground hog day.

I'm feeling lost.

Numb.

Crazy.

There aren't enough words to accurately pin what I'm feeling. It's all contorted.

Disappointed... My therapist cancelled on me for tomorrow. And we've been doing emdr so I feel like I needed that time.

 

[DharmaGirl]

My stomach hurts so I am scared. I'm afraid I have an ulcer. I am feeling, um, maybe just scared.

 

[DMerish]

I feel awful :yuck: The bad cold/flu that I had is gone, but it seems the combination of my usual meds plus cold/cough/flu meds has affected my gut in a horrible way. :sour: I've been trying probiotics to help, but don't know if they are working and/or if something else is going on. :inpain: :sick: :nailbiting: I haven't felt physically okay for nearly a month now, and it's getting me down :depressed:

 

[therisa]

Tired, but relaxed, having slept most of the day away. First time, in a long time, for me.

 

[ninja]

Hurt. Fighting with distortions.

Happy for this day 15 years ago. My son was born. He doesn't really want to celebrate it, gets that from me, which is a bummer. Still amazed my body did that. It has betrayed me in so many ways, except for the births of my sons.

Trying to stay up, so that we can celebrate a little bit.
