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

I feel totally wiped out today.

I did nap in front of the dvds.

Not happy about that. But I have done some small incremental changes in my life this week so I am going to focus on that.

Really tired.

Exhausted. A bit of dissociation yesterday and today.

My boss and I had the conversation about the contract - and surprisingly I think she was anxious that I might leave (I've only been there 10 months, and I'm the second-longest-serving person she has - she's lost about 8 people since I've been there) - so she changed the two clauses that I didn't like. Thankfully, it didn't escalate at all (which I'm very bad at handling). Whew! I guess I did well, though I wasn't pressed to handle conflict. Wait - I'm trying to learn how to praise myself, without minimising. I did do well, and got the changes made. Nobody else there felt able to ask for changes. I did good.

@Ms Spock The small changes all add up :)

@Ms Spock - I will imagine that today in my meditation - watching the waves with you. And watching you boogie on your board. What is a boogie board I wonder.

A boogie board is like a half a surf board. You don't stand up on it. You ride on your stomach.

I want a cigarette, I don't want a cigarette, either way I don't have one so there is no danger of my having one, so I am happy. I also had a diabetic eye exam yesterday and there has been no damage to my eyes, so I was thrilled with that news. All in all, I feel really happy, relieved, and hopeful.

I feel anxious with racing thoughts thrown in. I just sent out a bunch of paperwork so I feel relieved. Now I pray all that paperwork will help my situation.

I'm feeling a bit sad. I've backtracked quite a bit and I am worrying my husband. I don't mean to. He forgets we also weaned down off one of my meds, it isn't surprising that I have retreated some. But we can't afford it and don't qualify for special programs since I still have insurance. Life is going to get bumpy.

Exhausted! Had another round of snow, and just as I sat down after shoveling the walks my parents called- they came over so dad could run the snow blower on the driveway before everything freezes solid. I'm quite grateful for the help, it's heavy snow this time, going back and forth between rain and snow so it's a nasty mess, but very aggravated too. I can't understand the point in yelling the same thing a dozen times over the engine noise from dad and the neighbor both running snow-throwers at the same time, especially when it's something I know already and should wait a bit to do... anything shouted over that much noise comes across as an emergency "Do it NOW!" That sort of thing has only made me a nervous wreck for oh, all my life?

Starting to withdrawal from cigarettes, am having a "nicotine fit", could really use some support right about now. This is def not easy, I think to myself, "Man I would chew my arm off if it would get me a cigarette," how crazy is that???

 

[Lionheart]

I think I just posted in the wrong place....I am sooo embarrassed.

@Lionheart777 - they say if you can get thru the nic fit which they say lasts an average of 20 minutes, it will pass for a while.

Don't beat yourself up if you succumb. It's the toughest addiction to transcend, says the still smoking Franciemarnie. When I quit for a sustained period, I would say to myself, I won't have it now, but if I want one in 20 minutes I will. Then I would do a repeat.

I have been down to 8 a day v 30 for two years.

Note what works for you so I can do it someday again. I just haven't made the decision and commitment yet.

As for me, I feel sad like a little kid.
