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

[EverOnly358]

@EverOnly358 Thank you again, and thanks for the chuckle. I say a lot of things in my head too! LOL

Oh, I'm so glad I made you laugh. :joyful: Yeah, I love talking to myself, I always get the best answers that way. ;)

I'm feeling very content because we had an absolutely fabulous day. But I've had too many really good days in a row here... it's really been sorta perfect since last Thursday. :laugh: Five days! It's actually freaking me out so much that I'm doing so well. :confused:

I'm manic. :wacky: There have been times I was edging up to something unacceptable, but so far, so good with bringing it back down quickly. But it's a little nerve-wracking worrying about it. Anyways, B and I have a plan if I start to ramp up too far... because after a certain point, it goes faster and faster and it's hard to stop myself from getting extremely manic now that I'm less depressed overall and doing so much better about self-care (food, water, vitamins, sunlight, exercise, etc.).

:unsure: I'm kinda tired. Because I've been happy :D and I have energy and there aren't really too many PTSD things bothering me... I was running around and doing all kinds of stuff all day. I normally have trouble recognizing when I'm getting exhausted and then sitting down and resting... too many years of one crisis after another with my daughter, K, and there really not being another option... I had to keep going. But that's not the case now, and I need to do a little better about taking breaks. But I am proud :smug: of myself for not melting down. It took me a little too long, but I did finally sit down and rest and relax and then I felt recharged and ready to go again.

I've not been around for a while. Haven't been doing so well. Withdrawn, depressed. Anxious. Stress cup overflowing.

I'm feeling disappointed in myself. I slept the day and night away yesterday. I feel like sleeping now, but I can't because my med keeps me awake. I just wish the feeling of wanting to would go away.

Like a tired snapping turtle.

Vibrating internally. Nervous apprehension but somehow optimistic too.

Hugs to @Ninja, @Britt.f7, @macca and all who need them.

Feeling frustrated, upset and overwhelmed.

Feeling a bit strange. Taking my time, dealing with life, instead of crawling back into bed. It is a different feeling inside of me and I can't tell if it is good. One thing I know, I didn't implode. I can handle this life stuff from more then the back of my eyelids. I do not have to sleep it away. I guess I feel determined. Shaky, but determined.

My 't-time' was cancelled, we got a lot of snow again. I'm distracted and all over the place today, trying to do too many things at once. I need to remember to focus on one thing at a time. Feeling okay I guess, just scattered.

I think I am veering towards minor burnout. I do the hypervigilance thing on creative projects so I am examining minute details as if the fate of the world depends on it. Hungry. Going to eat. Shower then. Don't get too hungry, angry, lonely or tired ( HALT) is what I was once told by wise people.

@franciemarnie That HALT thing sounds really useful. I'm going to remember that one.

I'm feeling...it's hard today to describe it. It's a mess in there. One thing is probably hopelessness. Anxiety too.

Actually, just found something. Maybe it's part of why I've been absent from this forum lately. I feel undeserving. I feel faulty. As if all the crap that has happened and is happening is because I'm some kind of bad luck charm. And I'm infectious, so I spread it around to those I love, against my will. I'm aware that this stuff isn't logically true, but I'm having a hard time getting past it.
