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

I am feeling cautiously relieved...if all goes well with the final bit of mountainous paperwork I just emailed at 10:37 PM tonight, I think my mom will have qualified for low-income housing at her assisted living facility.

^Good luck and I hope that goes well :)

I am feeling miffed at my mother for her per usual one way conversation with me-still haven't figured out if she is aspergers or simply ignorant. But I feel it is not me I am grounded in that beliefvso it is another victory for me<3. Yay!

@junglegirl -- are one-way conversations a sign of aspergers? That would explain a lot re. a certain family member of mine who functioned really well in some ways but talked that way... That side of the family also has one full-fledged aspergers person.

I'm feeling a mix of things. Worried, sad, upset that I have caused suffering to my mother. Feeling like maybe it's time I gave her a call, but not sure. Not sure it's a good idea. Just feeling so exhausted, drained and unsure, Annoyed at the cat who won't stop sleeping on my lap and won't give me any space. It's sweet but he won't leave me alone and it's starting to bug me.

I feel like there is so much I still have to learn, and sometimes feel like my I.Q has dropped and I'm just an idiot, which further upsets me. I'm still not managing to find the motivation to get things started with all the ideas I have and business plans, as well as like i'm a million miles away from travelling. Will I ever make it overseas? Not happy about the debt I am now in. I revelled in not being in debt for my whole period of my 20's. I feel like skipping the country, to escape it.

Struggling to find a sense of self again. Feel like I am nowhere, though I have achieved many things I set out to...I guess I need to appreciate myself more and my achievements. Feeling a bit glum and frazzled. Miserable a tad.

Happy with how the day went, financially at work. Lucky to have good paying work that is something I enjoy and can rest when I'm not busy. A little relieved in my solar plexus area, from typing all this out. Warm inside. Like I want to continue journalling in my notebook after this.

Relieved that, overall, despite obstacles, I had a good day yesterday. Hoping to keep it going today. Trying not to let close minded people get to me.

I am feeling normal today. All is calm and well in my life. It is going to be a normal day for me and for my family. I am continually amazed at how calm everything is now. So I am feeling pretty good.

There's a bit of depression creeping in. Trying to keep it at a distance and to not get too worried about meeting a new MD tomorrow. I'm familiar with the office and the other staff, so I know that part will be good.

I feel insecure today.

@greenleaf I don't really know it is a theory of mine bc there is a spectrum in the autistic disorders. I love my mother so much but her emotions are superficial she really can't feel; she thinks. For example she thinks she should feel a certain way but it is hard for her to feel empathy. She is empathic but in a thinking way. Also she isunable to see when someone is suffering-not being able to empathize in that way is an aspergers trait. My middle sister is similar. My aunt, my mother's sister is just the opposite. She is like me and my oldest sister. I have to say dealing with someone who cannot emotionally connect is extremely frustrating, even when you accept their limitations. I don't know why this disorder isn't the scapegoat of the medical community. I get burned out dealing with her for any length of time even though I love her.

Feeling gutted, distressed, emotional and I bawled my eyes out.

Taken by surprise at a genuine full feeling of sadness this morning...heard last night that my uncle has sold his beach house...one of my favorite places in the world where I've spent time since I was 3 years old. I knew it was coming, but this morning it hit me in my heart how very sad I will be to not go there anymore. But I'm glad that I actually FELT this FEELING! Even if it was just for the briefest moment. I even had tears come into my eyes. This is a good thing.

I feel like a "normal" person in that I am not feeling the weight of depression or anxiety. I suppose if I had to go somewhere it would be different, but I don't. I'm getting there. Thankful for medicine that helps.
