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

[therisa]

Thank you, @Spiderallis , for your kind and generous offer.

Despite a weekend of rest and much needed sleep, I feel exhausted and drained. Only know, it snowed Saturday night, because I was told so. On the bright side, my glucose levels have been on the low but normal side, which is amazing that i am not eating much. Also, my lips are slowly healing. Will be heading back to bed, after giving R's cats, their dental treat.

I am a good tired today. I feel better. Yesterday we spent the whole day together recording the girls dancing and singing. I stayed up very late and had the luxury of a nap in the afternoon. I feel depressed because it rained again today and is so gloomy. I need the sun and warmth.

Hugs to all that need them.

Maybe feeling like I'm a bit manic. Had creative impetus and follow-through today based on a good line for a poem that came to me on Thursday night. Spent almost 12 hours, with a few breaks to feed 3 hungry 12-year-olds and drive 2 of them a long way back to their house, and be civilized and social with my son and husband (Like I care about the Oscars, really. But Ellen was good). I FEEL like I managed to finish something decent, something I feel good about. However it is 1:45 AM where I live, my alarm will ring at 5 AM for the weekday tribulations, I did not meditate or eat today. I don't know if this creative burst is a healthy or harmful for me. I suspect it is part of my increasing instability, yet I feel hopeful that I have finally managed to grasp time to create something I feel moderately pleased with. Ahh, where is the balance? How do people manage all this?

I am feeling a bit stressy. But I am going to drawing class now.

Feeling pretty depressed. Hot tea is helping, but the overall mood is low right now. Feeling rejected and glad to be home with the curtains drawn. I feel upset still at having bad memories stir up in the city earlier today. I feel a little overwhelmed and like my dream of travel isn't gonna happen...at least not for a while. Need hugs from loving people who care about me.

I'm starting to piece together some things from 3 years back right now. Things make sense when I put it in it's proper context.

I feel defeated...screwed up majorly. Needing to forgive myself...have compassion for myself, and feeling hopeful that I might be able to finally. I feel embarrassed and f*cked up.

@Philippa It sounds like a lot of stuff is coming up for you right now. I feel for you. :hug: coming your way.

I am feeling a lot of things. I am alternating between numb and utter desperation and depression, like my life is already over. It isn't, but the emotions are there as if it was. I have way too much evidence now I've spoken to my family to deny anymore. It was horrible to keep circling between denial and knowing, but now I've no longer got denial I really wish I had it back.

Feeling calmer and very grateful for the comments in my diary today about suicidal ideation. It really helped.

I had a rough two days and am feeling relief that I woke up feeling emotionally better. I thought I was going to end up partially hospitalized for being so depressed among other things.

Was woken up early, not too much earlier, but early. I'm feeling a little lost and bewildered. Not sure what the deal is or where I am heading. Last night was difficult. Before going to bed I felt scared and hurt, though nothing happened. I hate that. Took two seroquels to help me sleep and relax. Seemed to help. Today I have to go out. I'd rather not. Maybe I can put it off until tomorrow. I really shouldn't feel this worried.
