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

Challenged. :eek: Motivated. :laugh: Proud. :cool: Excited. :wacky: Happy. :) Calm. :joyful: Relaxed in an active way. :rolleyes:

And maybe a tad bit worried that it's crazy I feel this way and think I know how to sustain it, even though I'm also sure it won't last. :roflmao:
 
Last night I felt cornered and today I am feeling the lingering effect of that. I vacillated between wanting to run and finda safe place to be alone and to stay and open up and be comforted. I did stay but today that lingering feeling of hiding is still with me. Ashamed and insecure.
 
Hugely frustrated :banghead: Sad/Sick :spitdummy: On the verge of rage :devilish: Family changed Christmas plans and decided (without my input) that the only time available to get together with me is Christmas night after 6 or 7pm. That time does not sit well for me at all, uggggghhh!
I am so sorry!!! I read your other post about this, too, and it was really pissing me off, about your ex and that other holiday dinner your kids attend. I've dealt with a similar thing in the past with the narcissistic father of my eldest daughter, and it was horrible, so I empathize with you. The situation is really unfair to you and I'm really sorry you have to deal with it. So, I wanted to tell you... *I'd* like to hang out with you on Christmas Day. I think you're great. I know it's not the same at all, but if you'd like to chat here on the forum with me on Christmas Day, you just let me know when and I'll be here. :) :hug:

What am I feeling? :cautious:

Pretty zen. :smug: Not too worried about my feelings, because there aren't a bunch of things waiting in the queue to be processed. Everything is done for the moment, the inbox is empty. :) I'm sure it will fill up again soon enough, though. :confused: I'm feeling content. :joyful: Definitely feeling grateful. :D And I'm proud of myself for several reasons. :cool:

@D123 - Thank you so much for your post and invite to hang out :-) It meant a lot to me to learn someone else has gone through (and/or still goes through) what I do with the holidays and a narcissistic being part of the picture.

Today, I'm physically a bit down/tired. An important last minute project came up at work yesterday, and I worked from 5am to 10pm. Then I slept 11 hours straight. I'm in transition now, normalizing weird work/sleep schedule but have at least until Jan 2 off! Yea! I need the rest and relaxation - I'm content too, and going to treat myself real good during my time off from work! :tup:
 
I am feeling better then last night. I want everyone to feel good because it is Christmas here in my home...even though I know not everyone celebrates Christmas. I want it to be the positive feelings of Christmas and I want everyone to be nice. Including me.

Right now I am feeling at peace. I am missing my mom because this was her holiday. I am feeling joy, despite missing her. This could be a very sad day for me, since this is usually when we were together. But I refuse to be sad. Today I will be happy.
