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

[BlackbirdSinging]

I'm exhausted. I slept for 3 and a half hours last night. When I woke up I felt anxious and I could feel distorted thoughts twisting in my head like crazy.

I'm feeling a lot of agitation and anger today; some days are like this. I have trouble concentrating, doing creative things and am not my best which makes me mad in it's self. I can do okay but it's like trying to do a task while fighting off vicious monkeys or something.

Confused and overwhelmed. Today I got three letters about my health insurance, each one said something different. GAH! I didn't get enough sleep to navigate this maze today. If I work really hard, by Monday I should be able to figure out who to call and ask for help on this. Not sure what to do with the referral forms to see specialists. I can't try to make appointments until I know which insurance I have. Trying not to cry. I've been waiting so long to get proper medical care and now it's all tangled up in paperwork. It's like they handed me three different jigsaw puzzles, all mixed up in one box.

I was a bit anxious this morning because I knew I had to go out to get my meds. However, I did it and showered too! I feel much more alert and happy having done so. I'm glad because today is an early work day for my husband, so I get to see him a little longer between jobs and I won't be alone! Yippee for me.

@amethist I am so sorry for your loss. I know what it is like to have to put a beloved cat down. Especially when you still have hope. My heart aches for you and your husband. So sorry.

I am feeling that I am better than I think I am and not as bad as I think I am. I am feeling very positive and good.[DOUBLEPOST=1399675554,1399675324][/DOUBLEPOST]I am feeling happy because my youngest granddaughter remembered what kind of ice cream I liked and bought one for me and gave me a great big hug and love signs,

I feel deeply lonely; ...not desperately lonely, but rather a soulful loneliness that only a special person can ease. I am basically happy, but still, I am aware of the love that is missing from my life.

It has been a long time, (many years), since I have had a significant other to love and embrace and so my happiness is tinged with sadness and every time I laugh, I seem to also want to cry.

I don't know why or how I can be happy and sad at the same time...I have never understood conflicting emotions like this but it is how I am feeling and I felt I needed to express it here.

@Lionheart777 I hope we can see you in chat to hug you and cheer you on and do some cyber disco dancing.

I feel absolutely shattered and exhausted.

There is thread on this forum that is not even a half decent first year law school discussion on a particular crime. It is amazing how people can be such sticklers for criteria on PTSD but not know the law in NSW or Australia in anyway. There are criteria to be met.

Anyway I am finding the forum tiring. I might need to take a break.

I am feeling very disenchanted.

Guilt, my PTSD has caused so many problems for other people.

Dear @amethist , I am very sorry. :(

Worried. Worried. Worried. Sister getting fluid off lungs now on monday. I couldn't sleep until 7am then slept about 2 hours. Doesn't sound that they think it's anything other than metastisized. :(

@Lionheart777 I hope we can see you in chat to hug you and cheer you on and do some cyber disco dancing.

Thank you Ms Spock...I don't do well in chat because I am a horrible typist and I am also a perfectionist, so I don't go there very often because of that.

However, I will accept your offer for a hug and the idea of disco dancing really cheered me up...I have two left feet, that are both flat, so I don't dance ..still, the idea is funny to me because I imagine I would look hilarious.:laugh: It made me laugh, so thank you!

My best to you,
:hug:

Tired of inside not reflecting outside world. Inner state of emergency too often. Though it happens less and less, when it gets intense - the dichotomy - and I respond to something little as if it's a big deal, I feel insane - not in touch with reality. I hate that. It's exhausting and I can spend two hours calming down from an emergency focus on a non-emergency situation. Embarrassing. Normal for my PTSD, but not fun. So I am tired physically, mentally, emotionally. A bit demoralized.

I feel very disappointed! For yesterday I had to cancel my appointment with my new therapist for the second time. Just because of another f***ing suppurative sinusitis. I have looked many years for a well experienced trauma therapist like her. There's not many trauma therapists where I live. Yes I'm deeply disappointed with myself but also anxious that I might lose her. :(

On a positive note: Such massive fever could even be a good thing. Why? Well, I feel I'm very hot today...
