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

[Britt.f7]

Slept at least 24 hours in the last two days. Slept the day away yesterday, after getting a bad nights sleep the night before. So I am thankful to be awake. It is easier though to deal with things when you are sleeping. I guess because you don't have to. That's the nice thing about sleeping. I don't have to be me.

This sounds familiar! I was just writing about how I feel stuck in one of those epic nightmares where nobody can hear you screaming for help, and the only relief I get from it is when I'm sleeping. Maybe we're lucky we don't get the real nightmares that others talk about? I don't know...both bad.

I feel confused with my future up in the air. Am I doing the right thing for me? Will I mess everything up? Then what? I'm considering going into a supportive care living situation. I don't know if I even qualify without any insurance.

I am feeling happy that I have been given a diagnosis of sleep apnea, so that I can start to receive treatment for it and enjoy an improved state of health. *(It seems that I stop breathing 25 times in an 8 hour period with oxygen stats of 83).

What am I feeling today? :cautious:

First of all, I'm annoyed that this question is not getting any easier to answer! :mad: It's still so hard to figure out what I'm feeling.

Physically, I'm okay, I guess. I've been going through this weird thing for the past week or so, where one minute I look in the mirror, I'm happy with myself, I'm pretty, everything's fine... and then later I look again, and I hate myself, and I don't recognize myself and everything's wrong and weird. It's disconcerting. :sour:

Mentally, I'm okay, I guess. Everything's going along okay. There's nothing too big pressing in on me. :happy:

Emotionally, I'm okay, I guess. I mean... I'm fine, but I'm feeling just a little fragile. :confused: It's really hard to describe how I'm feeling. It's almost like something's on it's way to bedevil me and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by something I can't put my finger on. Maybe it was just the bad dreams last night or something. But in general, things are going okay, I guess?

Oh, hell. :wideeyed: I figured out how I'm feeling. I'm feeling normal. Normal is so weird!

I am feeling pretty darn good. The first day of Spring is this week along with my birthday where I will turn fifty nine years old. My birthday is on the day after Spring so I will have things to celebrate again.

After not having friends or support for the three years I care gave for my husband with advanced dementia and having him die so fast, I now look for things to celebrate. It surely has been a learning and growing experience for me.


After six months after my birthday, I finally get to file for my husbands Social Security. I will not get it until I turn sixty years old but at least I will have a little income coming in. At the rate time is flying past it will be here in no time.

I am feeling suicidal. Trying to decide. I want my house clean first. I'm feeling that all my hard work has brought me right back where I started.

 

[Hope4Now]

@DharmaGirl what is going on?!
I swear there must be something amiss in the cosmos today--so many of us are melting down.
Please, clean your house all night if you have to, but give yourself time to get to a better place because you will. Now is not forever, unless you make self-destructive decisions.

Feeling vulnerable. Feeling really vulnerable.

I have believed I am powerless and have no choice. I've ceded to others--at least what I thought others wanted of me. I'm not completely sure what I want, or need, or whether the emotional dangers associated with these things outweigh the blankness and unfulfillment and anxiety I live with now.

Totally relate!

Stuck in avoidance.

Thank you for expressing your reality. I feel less alone right now.

 

[ms spock]

I am feeling suicidal.

Reach out. Make sure you reach out.

I'm feeling like maybe I have some choices to make. This feels frightening and disorienting. For most of my life, I think, I have believed I am powerless and have no choice. I've ceded to others--at least what I thought others wanted of me. I'm not completely sure what I want, or need, or whether the emotional dangers associated with these things outweigh the blankness and unfulfillment and anxiety I live with now.

I could have written this word for word. Gentle hug for you if this is ok.
