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

I just got "dumped". I don't think I'm date material.

I think that is globalising a specific situation.

Whilst this has been a system of thinking encouraged by my upbringing I haven't found it useful in my day to day to life.

So it is true you are not feeling good. In fact you feel "Bad," but this is not a reflection of your true worth or an indicator to your long term life relationship status.

Going on dates has you feeling extremely nervous, awkward, with your emotions jumbled up. You feel ungraceful.
But that doesn't mean you are actually ungraceful. You are feeling pangs of self-hate - not easy feelings to manage.

How about you practice going on dates on your own for a bit? I saw a woman doing this on another forum. It seemed to work out quite well for her. At least the idea might make you smile.

You could send yourself love letters and be sure of choosing the right movies. You probably will get yourself some tokens of love that you would really appreciate.

I am feeling tired after staying up way too late last night.

It was hard going with my friend actually. I started to dissociate at certain times. I think she was pretty manic.

 

[ms spock]

Procrastinating - avoidant perhaps!?

Hungry. Kinda hopeful. Sent editor request to edit this thing I've been working on. Watching funny movie.

But oh so tired. Gotta get plan for wide awake at 4 am situation in case it's another night of that.

@franciemarnie and @Ms Spock -

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I'm feeling down. Yes, I'm globalizing the situation (good term, "globalizing").

Like she took herself out for a nice dinner, alone? What do you mean . . .

I am feeling loved... spouse made it home for the weekend, I mentioned that I was considering trading in my SUV because I had driven it for 8 years, I know its a very sound car but I thought it was time for a change and wanted a 4X4... spouse immediately took me to some car lots to look for a new ride. I NEVER expected that.

 

[franciemarnie]

I am stuffed from spaghetti. I am tired, but content.

@JadedGhost13 - Nice husband!

Less hypervigilant than earlier, the workout helped

@franciemarnie yes he is. I found one, I liked, it had a corvette engine in it, a lift kit, the most awesome exhaust system I have seen in my life... I was scared to discuss with him my feeling of wanting a new truck because he is our only source of income right now. I was so shocked that he said I could purchase one. He knows I need one to haul feed and garden stuff with. I don't know if I will allow myself such a shiny expensive new toy, but just knowing he would go right out and look to please me just made my day.

Well yes - if you think you might not behave with your self you can always take a friend as a chaperone. :D;)

Your date can be ten minutes - a cup with your self at a cafe.

Feeling anxiety, bit of rumination and a little bit stressy.
