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

[ninja]

Happy to be helping a friend out today. :)

Feeling scared and uncertain.

Dispute it or redirect to an activity you are comfortable with that is self nurturing or affirming or helps others Ms. Spock. Staring at it will get you less than nowhere.

I am relieved to have found a new therapist.

I am having a very good day and I feel wonderful. I feel so alive and happy. I am having more and more good days.

Hopeless I guess and fighting it. That it's all too much of an effort and progress is like watching paint dry. Reminding myself of the good things. Holding onto Socrates, "an unexamined life is not worth living" and turning that into "an examined life is worth living". There is pleasure to be found in self development and self awareness.

Hopeless. Depressed. Feel useless and a failure. Highly anxious. My son is having a lot of trouble going to school, due to social anxiety and OCD. He missed most of the previous year with pain and mobility problems, which led to isolation, and then to the social anx and OCD. The pain and mobility is over now, but he's left with the other stuff. He is seeing a psychologist, but has been very reluctant, and refuses medication. He had 2 panic attacks today. It's hard for me to contain them, as I'm so messed up myself. I'm so worried about his future. I'm trying at 200% to help him. I'm so desperate, as this is impacting his life so much. :( Now I'm crying again. I have to be strong for him.

And I forgot to say he is a young teenager, so he's at such at critical point in his social development and his education both.

See this is where I get confused in "The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook for Anxiety Breaking Free from Worry, Panic, PTSD and Other Anxiety Symptoms" by Chapman, Gratz and Tull it talks about noting the emotion and not struggling with it.

The mornings are a very bad time for me, for some reason. I did do the yoga nidra CD about four times. So I am working on other strategies.

Since I have been feeling and crying I feel like crap at times but I am a lot less dissociated and spaced out. It is a relief.

I am doing a heck of a lot of random acts of kindness, when you get in to it there are many opportunities.

I also fixed up some issues for a group I was going to write a grant for and got them in touch with some other groups and not that issue is pretty much solved.

So I do quite a bit for the local community.

I had a really nice day today.

I went to bed early and got 7 hours of straight sleep thanks to some Tylenol PM. I feel rested and relieved. Blood sugar levels are down too and this makes me feel better physically (and emotionally/mentally).

I feel pretty good today. Faced a lot of things and felt better.
