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

[cragger65]

A little scared, anxious. Trying to relax but it's hard to. Have to go see my friend in the hospital, I know it's going to shake me.

I am weary today

In a word ...rubbish!

It would appear that PTSD depression has finally hit, although I've had the occasional time when I've felt down for a few hours this has gone on for 4 days now. I know its only a bad patch but I'm really fed up with it!!

Here I go again...

I buzzing on the inside. I posted to a internet discussion and exposed my deep and true feelings about a man who was beaten and it was caught on tape. The event has gone sort of viral and I was mesmerized watching people discuss this cold case. I had one of those stupid moments when I thought I'd let it hang out and let er rip. I thought it would be helpful because I related alot to the victim. I shortly went back and regreted it. So...

The pain started in my gut, twisting deep and it throbs...still there
It's also moved into my heart area and it feels heavy and like
someone is pushing their finger into that area.
My head is pulsing too...

I really feel my body strongly at these moments..
It's so much better to hide hide hide.

This is a strong trigger not going to drink just stay and watch it and let it wash over me.

A little optimistic, but not naive

Right now I'm feeling sad, lonely, ashamed and disappointed in myself, confused as to what to believe about myself and life. Facing into the wind, just trying to face into the wind...

Showing a lot of strength StuckInShell, I admire your fortitude and determination.

Cynelena, that's very good to hear.

Just realizing how much I still lie to myself about how I really feel inside, as if I "shouldn't", or it's an indicator of my failure. Anyway.

Left out, forgotten, patronised, abandoned and a bit worthless

Unbelievably accomplished. Tomorrow is the first day of classes and I got all my junk (syllabus, assignments, class notes etc...) up on the course website yesterday and today! WOW! Last time I taught that course, I was FREAKING - this time, I've got it under control! Miracles do happen.

Well done Midi... positive progress.

 

[trapped]

I am feeling very stressed and anxious and cautious...

Trying to figure out something nice to do for myself today... even though it feels like I don't deserve it... I still need to send in some resumes for a new job for when I get back home from my little vacation. I'm going to make it my goal to get that taken care of before dinner, and if I get it done soon enough I may go mountain biking a bit.

I have mixed emotions about being back at home- part of me really wants to be back, part of me doesn't. I'm really wishing I could fly to Boston right after I finish my vacation and just start over there.

With how stressed I am, I think I'm going to head out and try to get myself to go out for a hike- even though I'm anxious about it... there's snakes and bears and deer and elk and beavers and all kinds of other funny animals around here, I'm not used to it and I've crossed paths with more wildlife than I ever wanted to. But I think some fresh air would be nice- even if I only manage to walk up the hill to the gym, at least that's getting out.

Trapped, please be kind to yourself. Enjoy your holiday, we all need time out.
