What a great thread, you'all have made this. Not that I wish such painful feelings on anyone of us, as certainly I do not. In fact, I found them somewhat difficult to read, what with the reality of some of these feelings. Yet, I will say regardless of trauma it does allow many to identify and know that we're very much alike at times, in this way (emotions) and the most obvious PTSD.
Thank you all for getting this thread started. Also, Seeking Nirvana and Nie thank you as well for adding your felt positive emotions as well. I almost did later too, but they didn't last long enough for me to do so. I had been feeling some competency the other day after much house cleaning and some other accomplishment.
Tonight I feel, stuck, trapped, obligated, powerless and unable to communicate. At least when I can't talk or write about what's bothering me, bc I've tryed already lately and simply cannot, I can mostly simply say how I'm feeling.
