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

[BlackbirdSinging]

I feel tired. And my throat hurts. It started hurting earlier this evening and it's been hurting progressively more and more.

 

[Lionheart]

Feeling rested and well for the first time in ages. I slept this evening rather than tonight, but other than having my sleep times be off a little I am feeling great. I feel excited to have had so much success with the sleep apnea treatment so quickly!!!

I am missing my father, (he passed away in 2012), but have been able to keep close the good and happy memories and am so grateful that we made peace before his passing.

I am feeling just a little anxious to get back to having regular therapy sessions, but I will only have to wait a few more weeks and then I can get back to working on my recovery issues.

Highly anxious

 

[fly away home]

Suppressed and scared. Scared. I think a little outraged. My partner wanted to yell and argue about our relationship in front of our daughter. He said she had to be there because it's about her future. She's 5. That's not right. I tried so hard to stop him from saying anything that would upset her or make her feel like she was to blame. I am confused about how I feel. I am unhappy. I'm feeling like I've failed my girl.

When my girls were little we sometimes used to run through the lists of everyone who loved them. It was a soothing bedtime activity for them. Maybe doing that will help bring some security for you little girl @fly away home.

For myself I'm feeling very spiny and light headed because I've taken too many pills again. I want the world to fade out.

Heavy hearted. Our finances are very poor and we may lose our house. All because I went on disability. If I was working a full time job, we wouldn't be where we are. Our mortgage is too high for such a simple house. My husband takes it personally, that he is not a good provider, but I don't see it that way. I'm very unhappy with the way things now are. We have been cutting back immensely. Hard to believe this was meant to be(our losing our house).

 

[Miss_Understood]

I am a plethora of emotions today.
I am very nervous since we are rapidly running out of money and I absolutely cannot work with my epilepsy right now. I'm hopeful my wife is going to get this job, she deserves it so much. I'm annoyed that everyone assumes about my ptsd and my epilepsy.

I'm very angry that I have to take all these pills that make me feel so sick.

Too many more emotions that I can't put into words today.

 

[The Albatross]

Very sorry to read Britt, know for ourselves we've been sweating bullets due to the rising insurance costs here in Florida as well as food, energy, and gasoline costs. We're down to bare bones and hoping we can keep afloat long enough to pay it off (about $11 K). Know too well and understand the struggles gal.

 

[ms spock]

Sleepy and tired.

 

[Hope4Now]

Am feeling vulnerable and afraid mostly. But also hopeful too that I can just be with those feelings and not let them freak me out too much. The hopeful part feels nice after last week.

@The Albatross and @Britt.f7 am empathizing with financial need. I am still trying to hang on and not go on leave. Already have debt. Wishing we had not purchased the house we live in because now feel enslaved to the mortgage. Unable to even begin a conversation with my spouse about simplifying more radically (e.g., moving). He loves our life together, here in this house and in our neighborhood too much.

 

[Spiderallis]

Not much is coming through the numb, which might be a good thing?

 

[franciemarnie]

Too tired. Sad. Slightly hopeful. Appointment Tuesday with new T who offers all kinds of trauma therapy.

Hugs to all struggling.

Hugs also to those feeling good today.

Hugs for all!!
