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

Gah! Let's see... the usual mix of confused and overwhelmed and depressed, though slightly less depressed today. Got my sleep schedule to something more sane, though, yippee! (See, I'm posting at 10:30am, not 3:30am, this is good.) I'm really upset about something and I just keep going back and forth, back and forth. Gah!
 
Most immediately I feel relief- had to fast for 12 hours to get some bloodwork done, which is extra fun being diabetic and not having anyone available to drive. I ate something and instantly stopped crying/shaking/being so darn confused.

Once I get over the thrill of eating something, I know the rage will hit hard. With the wait in the lobby and for the doc, I went over 14 hours without food on roughly 4 hours of sleep. Before I could get the tests done I had to convince the MD that I was not in need of immediate psychiatric care. Yes, I'm frazzled, confused and bawling my eyes out for no reason. Pretty sure all that can be cured with a sandwich, please stop delaying the feeding process?!
 
I woke up feeling nervous. I tried to keep it together because I knew I had a session today. I've been depressed, but couldn't quite put my finger on why(as if I need a reason - funny thing depression doesn't need one). We talked about it in session, about what was triggering it if anything. That helped. I'm still depressed but I think I'm understanding the why of it.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that! Jeez! And don't get me started on hospital waiting rooms... they're actually a trigger for me, I freak out every time. (And I don't mean to be insensitive... but "please stop delaying the feeding process?!" has me laughing and laughing! :roflmao: :laugh: :roflmao: You have a way with words.) I hope you can take care of yourself, eat what you want and get a lot of rest today. Take care!

Well... what the hell am I feeling? Why is this so difficult???

I'm feeling pretty good. Content, I guess. :joyful:

I'm not at all stressed out about Thanksgiving, which is SO TOTALLY BIZARRE because usually I'm planning and cooking for days and days. This year I'm all zen. What's with that? :wacky:

That's it. I'm gonna try not to over think this, but it's really weird not to be tired or depressed or manic or upset or whatever. :confused:

I'm wishing all of you a really good day! (I don't want to be the only weird one. :O_o:)
 
I feel confused; ...a person has to have a license to drive a car or to get married, but one does not need a license to raise a child. :confused:

Shouldn't some advanced parenting classes be mandatory? How about Identifying and preventing child abuse? I don't know maybe it's just me, but I think it's a good idea.

I also feel frustrated :banghead: that anger management & conflict resolution classes are not taught in public schools. Where are people going to learn this stuff? From a therapist at $120 an hour when they are in their 30-40's? I mean really!! How many men have anger management issues that show up in adulthood as domestic violence? hmm, I wonder.

I feel determined to take some sort of action to change things.

Other than that I am doing fine and wish everyone a day of happiness and healing,
:hug:
hugs,
Lion
