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

[franciemarnie]

@EverOnly358 - I liked your post. That's what I am dealing with - trying to change my expectations of sleep! Or what really gets me is having so much I want to do but the fatigue prevents me from accomplishing so much. If I keep waiting for the day Ive had enough sleep and have energy, that might be five weeks from now. Sigh. It's really about accepting who I am today and doing the best I can. I have to revise my expectations.

Tonight I am a teensy bit concerned re hubby. Worried given his age that a certain disease might be creeping in. I'll take it a day at a time.

Exhausted tonight. Just worn out and a little down.

Good luck @Lionheart777 ! And good going!

Thank you (((franciemarnie))),

Quitting is a little rough, but I am doing pretty good. I have only 'slipped' once and although it is a bit uncomfortable I am proud of myself for giving it a go.

Today, I am feeling determined. Physically, I am tired and can't seem to get myself awake, but it is early yet and the day has just begun. Mostly, I am feeling hopeful and blessed.

@Lionheart777 Way to go! I am proud of you for even trying to give up smoking - keep at it you can do it! :tup:

I am feeling much better. I still have a cough but it is getting better and the infection has gone. I went to the dentist again yesterday and had my teeth cleaned and impressions taken for my mouth guard (to stop me clamping my jaws at night). I am proud that I went after being terrified for years (dentist is a PTSD trigger).

I am looking forward to seeing a forum friend on Sunday, I'm excited and if I am brave enough I might drive so I can learn the journey while hubby is with me.

Feeling anxious today. I am headed to the doctor to change up my meds. Feeling a little sick to my stomach. I hate sitting in the waiting room. I hope it goes well!

I feel scared and anxious and nervous and worried. I'm cold too and the combination is making me shake so hard I'm pretty much vibrating. It's so much easier to do what I've always done. But if I do what I've always done I know I'll get what I've always gotten. Moving out of that "comfort" zone is scary. Taking the steps to do things differently makes me feel even more scared sometimes. Because now it's not just that I'm scared of getting "punished" for something but I'm also scared of the unknown thing I'm doing. And it takes so much effort and it's so exhausting physically mentally and emotionally to push myself and fight this stuff over and over again. It's so overwhelming. I'm just so scared right now.

Anxious-Anxiety - three doctor appts this a.m. (just annual stuff). Big meeting at work in the afternoon that I tend to dissociate from because it's so boring, but I'm supposed to be in "the game" - but I'm not. I'm just a spectator - don't know why I'm invited but boss says to go, so I do. Tonight I have date #4 with a guy. Excited, hopeful, nervous, confident, wacky teenager inside stuff going on about that :eek: Don't like it. Like it. Sheesh, I'm 60, a "mature" woman, right???? :confused: Well, I'm not going to judge it. It is what it is.

(((hugs))) to all that want and need them :hug:

I am feeling fairly positive. Not quite as positive as I've been known to be, but close. I'm also cold. I am being my own cheerleader. It helps that I have a friend and my husband be one, keeps me accountable, but I am being my own. I have to banish those negative thoughts. They don't help.

 

[Definitely..maybe]

I feel like I've been in a near constant disassociated state. I don't even feel triggers right now.

I don't feel good either though. I think I'm just not feeling. :tdown:

I am looking forward to seeing a forum friend on Sunday, I'm excited

Yay, I'm excited as well :joyful:.

I'm feeling okay. I have had my mammogram, poor boobs, pulled every which way :arghh;. I felt as if I was going to pass out towards the end. The room was hot, I began to feel light-headed. I sat in the car afterwards to regain some composure. Then I drove to nearby M&S for some yummy food.

I'm proud, I have walked the dogs. I have lamb curry and naan bread for supper and jelly, raspberrys and ice cream for dessert and trashy TV recorded. Well, not to trashy, I may watch the movie, A Town Like Alice.

Sad. Angry. Exhausted.

Proud. Loving. Strong.

:hug: and/or good vibes for those who would like them.

I'm a bit baffled to be so calm. Not sleeping worth a darn, but otherwise numb- just waiting for disability appeals court tomorrow. Think it might be a case of 'big important things' mode, I won't feel much until afterwards.
