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

[desiderata310]

Feeling better today than yesterday.

Only a whisper of SI

Only a whisper of anxiety

Better sleep last night: slept till 4:30 this morning. (It's an improvement, I swear!)

Almost felt light-hearted on the ride in to work. It's Bike to Work month here (I do it anyway all year round) and cyclists are being encouraged to bike in with incentives like free breakfast at different places each morning. I didn't feel like chatting but I enjoyed the chance to be around other cyclists while everyone milled around and chomped on bagels and coffee this morning in the crisp air.

So far at work I haven't been SUPER productive but I've managed to get a few things done and keep getting interrupted by people sticking their heads in to talk to me. I'm fine with it. Everyone around here is getting the idea that they should come in and sit down and not linger in the doorway. I made a joke about it for so long people just laugh and come in and sit down. It helps that they are figuring out that I don't really bite, too.

Nice to feel normal for a moment .

I told my son I am not the enemy. He said he isn't meaning to make it seem that way. That left me feeling a little better then I did before he said that. I was getting ready to crawl in bed and cover my head.

I am feeling competent. I am off one of my anti-anxiety medications (done under a doctor's care) and I am feeling emotions for the first time in almost a year. I had an emotional meltdown last night but I was able to deal with it so I feel competent. I can take care of myself even if that means putting myself in a time out like you do with a three year old. It's my way of coping until I develop better ways of coping. It is a struggle but I'm doing it.

I am feeling centered. Picked out some new glasses today – it's been awhile – I'm excited about them. I also got a package in the mail that I've been waiting for. :)

The dogs are on edge and barking barking barking. I think it must be the threat of thunderstorms. It's been very windy and rainy this week. However, my trip is less than three weeks away! I am beyond thrilled to be able to spend an entire week with my best friend. :inlove:

I feel extremely validated and relieved. It seems like ssdi has approved me for my ptsd (touch wood something doesn't change!). It's just nice knowing that such a picky process also believes and understands how debilitating ptsd can be.

Something happened. Flipped a switch and I feel terrible. Feels like everyone is thinking and saying disparaging things about me. I don't want to go anywhere. Went to bed early. Hoping my brain will calm down.

I am feeling really upset and stressed out. I think I have lost my glasses. It is so upsetting. I won't be able to get another pair. I saw them last time at the medical centre yesterday.

I slept last night - not all night but enough to feel much better than yesterday. I'm also feeling clear about the conversation I need to have with my T on Monday, which is helping me feel fairly calm at the moment.

I come out of feeling dissociated and feeling not real and not part of the world and I feel panicked and where the hell have I been?

It is hard not to feel disparaged when the weather keeps on being gray and overcast. I'm trying to pick myself up. Last night I crawled into bed early, then got up for dinner, then went back to bed. Not usual for me. Hope today is not the same.

Stressed because I have a deadline tonight

A little relieved because I'm nearly done

A bit weird because I drank a lot of caffeine today

Today, I am feeling joyful.
