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

Sad, sad, sad. I hate sad! Heavy in my chest. Usual corresponding ache in my legs, like a kid. I literally wake hearing "Here's That Rainy Day" in my head. I know I've got to feel it or face the consequences. But I don't like the feeling. Peter Sellers movie on tonight. I will at least get some laughter in in between the tears.
 
@Lionheart777 , could you share this visualisation technique somewhere on the forum please?

I don't know how to teach safe place visualization, but a therapist who is trained in DBT, (dialectical behavior therapy), can walk you through it, as it is part of 'advanced distress tolerance' skills. It may even be available through CBT, (cognitive behavioral therapy), as well, but to be honest, I am unsure about this.

At any rate, it is best, (in my humble opinion), if a trained therapist help you with the visualization so that it is most beneficial to you. I am sorry that I can't be of more help.

Wishing you all the best,
Lionheart777
 
This is the first time I'm posting on this thread, and I'm finding this an almost impossible question. So, well... confused is at the top of the list. :confused:

After a lot of thought...
Sad and worthless.
Proud of myself for progress made in therapy (where I was able to find the anger button).
F*cked up.
Still determined to keep moving forward so I can one day feel better.
 
To strengthen my attention skills.... I thought I should post more on this thread. So, I feel shaky, (nothing new)... I feel like my stomach is full to the brim ... ( ate too much), nervous because I am back home confronted with life again, nervous because I have another day at the day center tomorrow and I am not sure if it will be too much, physically and emotionally, relieved that I finally have the right diagnosis, not only for the PTSD but Depersonalisation Disorder, a lung condition and asthma, and a bit lonely, after being with other people nonstop for the last couple months due to a hospital marathon. :)
