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

I'm not sure. Whatever it is, it's further away than usual.

Tired and happy, I was able to leave my apartment building and do some shopping. Frustrated that I couldn't do more shopping, as I can't face the afternoon rush hour traffic, on the transit system, to complete all of today's shopping. I know, there's always tomorrow.

I'm irritated and annoyed and frustrated and confused. I've been fighting with distorted thoughts all day. I'm doing so much black and white thinking and personalization and jumping to conclusions and catastrophizing that I'm confused. It's making me feel rejected by a close friend and that's hurting my feelings. And my feelings are hurt by my close friend or by what my distorted thinking is telling me about my close friend? See? I'm so confused. I could cry. Oh wait. I already did that.

I am feeling better.

I feel like I'm standing in the middle of a crowd where everybody else is laughing and having fun, and I'm not. The odd one out who doesn't "get it"

Sad.

I am having another wonderful day. I am so grateful for the healing I am experiencing from the grief of my husband dying almost a year ago. The journey is a long and painful process and I am really enjoying each day more and more.

It has made such a profound difference to live with my family and have so much love and laughter.

@gizmo - It made me happy to read your post. Thank you.

I am less sad after talk with significant other. Took the power out of the sad. Now tired and a little melancholy.

Talks are hard. No one could say what they felt growing up except: Gosh I'm grateful and happy! So expressing less feel-good feelings still feels like a sacrilege - 50 years later!

Feeling like I've been staving off depression all day. I managed to have a few laughs with the new girls at work, who is aussie, so it was nice to have someone who speaks english there for a change. My morale was low as I only had one client all day...again. I've made a grand total of $64.50 for two full days work...but only one hour of actually working and the rest lying around sleeping, waiting for a customer to come in. It's ridiculous. Slowest week in the history of my time in this field.

I feel grateful that my therapist made it so I can see her on friday and if I don't have enough to pay for the session then, I can pay next week, or when I can afford it. That was really decent of her. I'm lucky.

I've been feeling a bit sapped lately...like I can feel my age. A meme popped up in my newsfeed this morning reminding me that I don't need to feel guilty for taking care of myself by removing people from my life, whether relative or friend, who violate my boundaries constantly and hurt me without taking responsability or attempting to change the behaviour.

I was feeling guilty this morning in bed...about everything. Been thinking a lot lately of my parents and the question of whether they die before I am able to forgive and resolve anything with them, and how I will cope if that happens, as that was the one thing I wanted to avoid...regretting not being there when they go. I still struggle a lot with that one.

Trying to feel upbeat, as I am going to an art museum with my father in law today. I do not want to be filled with the anxiety I have regarding leaving the house, so I am trying not to think of it too much. I know I will be okay, once I'm there. It's getting there that is the hard part. As for my father in law, he knows I have some emotional issues but does not inquire or know what they are. I am more then okay with this.
