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

Didn't they give you sleep apnea equipment or something @Lionheart777?

My sister was supposed to take me to get the sleep equipment, but she is enamored with her boyfriend as he is leaving Friday for an out of state fishing tournament, so I don't have my equipment yet. Anyway I fell asleep from exhaustion, got a couple hours sleep and my anxiety symptoms vanished. Hopefully I will get the C-pap machine at some point today.

Feeling pretty overwhelmed after my dental surgery yesterday.

Feeling so much pain from my dental surgery yesterday.

Grief. Overwhelmingly so. It feels bigger than my body can handle.

More grief. Avoidance. :cry:. Emotional exhaustion. Nasty memories flooding my brain. Pain.

Thankfully @a3a2 posted the thread Lost in chit chat, and it put a big :happy: on my face (thanks a3a2 :hug:).

I feel sad because there are some basic things that most people know how to do deal with accept and cope with that I literally emotionally don't know how to deal with. I'm trying to learn how. It's hard but I'm trying.

walk in wearing fancy new shoes and not be able to buy food?

I was a charge nurse in an ER obs unit and made really good money. I had back surgery and was unable to work again. I had 2 cars, a house, a camper, an iphone and lots of shoes. I still have them but I am on social security. My van is 15 years old and my camper is paid off and about 10 years old. I still have lots of shoes and clothes, although I took my scrubs and "office" clothes to the WIC office for other women to use. I'm embarrassed to have so much and still need help to feed my son and myself, but I do need help. I will probably lose my house eventually. So, everything isn't what it seems.

Today I feel like I'm in a movie. This is not my real life. I really like this better, I lived like this for many, many years. I am going to just ride this out. I think my new med is making me depressed and dissociated.

 

[roaminggnome]

I feel anxious and tired of being yelled at. I'm reaching my breaking point with the yelling and am go to start yelling back. I don't know if that will make it better or worse.

 

[DharmaGirl]

Maybe if you just start screaming, the yeller will leave you alone. I wouldn't try this at work though. It worked when I was inpatient.

 

[iwillbeme]

Broken, scared, angry, misshapen, overwhelmed and i feel like giving up.

 

[Britt.f7]

Surprised. I think the meds are actually starting to work. I haven't gotten out of my house but I don't feel like I am going to burst into tears at any minute. It's a start.

@[DLMURL="https://www.myptsd.com/c/members/lionheart777.2951/"]Lionheart777[/DLMURL] I hope you can get your c-pap machine soon- it made a world of difference for a few family members, I hope it helps you as much as it has them.

I'm quite stiff and sore, but I couldn't let that keep me procrastinating on a few chores. They had to be done. Now I'm done, probably won't get much else done today. I can be glad to have accomplished a few things. The rest I'll feel good about getting done after some rest.
