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

Hugs also to all that could use one.

I feel relieved. Released the trauma energy. Feel light but tired.

A little bit better after two weeks in the hospital

I just had a GREAT but very DIFFICULT session with my therapist in which we worked on "getting to know" the self-torturing voices in my head. He gave me hope again. He gave me a really long hug which I desperately needed. He made me feel like I'm not crazy. Am feeling still in massive physical pain, but much lighter emotionally!

So sorry. I get this regularly. Feeling your pain.

Thanks for your kind words. Very much appreciated. Y'know what makes me feel so much better... that I can come here and share with people who truly understand. I don't have too worry so much about explaining to people who don't get PTSD... you guys get it, you guys have been there, too.

Exercised a bunch today... feeling much better than at 4:00am this morning.

I wondered where you were @Ed Norton. I hope you are okay now!

@Hope4Now - congrats on great session!! Take it easy tonight. You went thru a lot.

My hair hurts and is heavy. Going to take shower. Hungry so will eat first. Happy. Tired.

I feel dead, too weak to go on...

Pure flaming rage at the neighbors who walked right on past a few really ugly domestic incidents a few years back that somehow have the time to call the city every time a twig or dog mess is out of place in my yard. Couldn't be bothered when it was ME laying there, didn't do anything about the break-ins or death threats, but it's top priority if I miss a single blade of grass. Well there's no ordinances against being a weirdo... I've only kept that indoors to be considerate.

Uh oh. Some part of me must be taking revenge for what got stirred up today. Just tried to go downstairs for dinner. I can't walk. Feeling very vulnerable and ashamed by the scared and worried looks on my family's faces. I'm scared too. I don't know what I will do if I can't walk. I've managed to push through it to be functional for almost 2 years. I am orienting a new administrator tomorrow and scheduled to give a lecture on Wednesday night...wait, one moment at a time. Send my back and legs good wishes please. I can push through level 5 or 6 pain, but not 9 or 10. Am lying down and posting posting posting to ward off panic.

Sad to read about the asylum seeker who suicided last week, and that our minister for immigration is not wavering in his stance. There was no sincerity in his words giving condolences to the mans family, and they see compassion as weakness, which is the real problem. Not wanting to be seen as wimps by the rest of the world! That's what it's all about...never mind these peoples real LIVES. It's all about how they are perceived by the world. Truly sad. Even more disturbing to read how many people support his stance and think he's doing a great job.

Sad to read about the flying foxes in decline in Australia, after the heatwave recently. Feeling unsure and powerless and helpless to do anything other than what I am doing about it, which is not driving a car. That's my contribution towards not adding to climate change. Apart from this I feel really good. Been doing specific exercises that have been helping to ground and centre myself and I can feel my energy humming.

:cautious: I "think" I'm back . . . not totally feeling it yet tho . . . been trying to get down with some crazy jungle moves . . . kind of hard when one partner thinks tango (him) and the other (me) does a frailing rendition of the macarena, you remember that one. Right? It's really easy. Just put one arm out in front then the other, swish your butt a little, pull both arms back in close to your chest, then quick jump to the right like a scared rabbit. Well, what happens is a lot of toes being stepped on and the bumping of heads :nailbiting: :meh: :tdown: :bored: :cautious:

@franciemarnie I am a little better the hospital was like a poor man`s trauma treatment center. They treated me well and I had a good doctor. Thank you for your concern.

I'm tired. And I'm scared and worried. After the nightmare I had last night or this morning rather and the flashback that it triggered today I'm really scared that I'm going to have another nightmare tonight that will cause another flashback tomorrow.
