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

Recently I have been having moments of intensely deep feeling towards my past. My past has been cold and numb for so long.

It is beyond my control when it occurs and about what incident, but It will suddenly hit me that what happened was..... sad. I can't find a better word, it's a deep 'sadness' and there has even been crying with real tears. A rare thing for me.

I have not felt 'sad' for myself before on this level. Usually I feel shame and self hate so I'm guessing this is a step forward.

I wish I could find a better word than sad. It feels much bigger than the three letters which make up sad.

Is this processing? If so it's going to be a bloody hard road.
 
I relate to much of what you said. And it sounds to me like mourning. Something I think that happens when we become increasingly more aware. Hugs if you're comfortable accepting them.

I feel cautious and raw. And yet I'm encouraging myself to be courageous.
Strange that you say morning. I have lost someone recently. I am still grieving. Yes it's like the grief has shifted across to other events. Emotions are morphing.

Thank you for the hugs.

And what you said earlier about learning. I feel I am in preschool when it comes to most things adults take for granted

I'm sorry for your loss. My condolences. I agree with you about feeling like being in school learning what other people consider basic.
