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

[ms spock]

Anxiety, high SI, depressed, scrambling to keep going and a bit weepy.

 

[DMerish]

Tired: not getting enough sleep due to anxiety and neighbor needing to leave for work at 3:30am (again - errrrrgh!) and working too hard at job. Frustrated/pissed at the neighbor too.

I'm also feeling somewhat excited about getting time off from work next week.

Feeling a bit excited about wrapping Santa presents. Even though I know standing for long periods is hard for me. My husband helped me bring them all up. Now I'm wondering how to get them all back to where they belong.

I'm happy. And I'm grateful. My son is here visiting. I've missed him so much. It's hard when your kids get older and you live far apart. But for now he's here. And I'm all smiles. Also I keep reaching out to touch him to make sure he's really here. That it's not some kind of dream. That and I keep smiling at him all goofy. And he catches me and he smiles back in the same warm "I'm glad I'm here too" kind of way.

Today I feel...

incompetent
useless
defeated
(I made a mistake at work)

Well for this part of the day, I'm feeling:

...frustrated with myself for my efforts and struggles with communicating. I continue to be very scared and ashamed when I try and fail - am ridiculously slow, unable to respond and unable to share. Continuing frustration when believing I've deteriorated such that I am now, the majority of the time, inept at much if any worthwhile articulation.

This challenge leaves me feeling and thinking all sorts of awry thoughts and uncomfortable, painful emotions. :yuck:

 

[sandnhispants]

Completely insignificant. Ashamed of my untiring efforts over the past year.

 

[Lionheart]

Inexplicably happy.

 

[Tinyflame]

So afraid. :(

 

[amethist]

Sad that another of my husband old friends has died.

 

[Lionheart]

I am so sorry for your/your husbands loss, Amethist. It seems the older I get the more friends I am losing...I lost my dad last year and know too well the grief that can accompany such a loss. I hope that the Christmas season will bring you lots of comfort.

Peace,
Lion

It ain't gonna stop me from doing the necessary things today. No how, no way buddy. ;)

Love your attitude, Alba! :) I truly need to do more of that myself. ;)

@Junebug, :hug: if you'd like them, sorry you're feeling scared! I'm so sorry, @amethist, that is really hard. My husband's father and uncle are both doing poorly. It's difficult.

What am I feeling today? :cautious:

I'm REALLY grateful for this forum and the people here. Everyone is so understanding and helpful. Really grateful. :joyful: Feeling pretty happy. :laugh: Had a great day. Did lots of stressful things, fun things, and it was all good. Just going to relax tomorrow instead of going and going until I completely collapse. :confused: So, because of that attitude, I'm feeling pretty proud of myself. :smug: I'm just really managing things well at the moment. Things will change, I'm sure, that's the nature of C-PTSD, but y'know, I'm enjoying the moment. :)
