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

That was me a few days ago. I hate feeling like that, can't explain it, it just comes. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day for us both :)

I'm sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and many hugs

I feel very happy and excited that I got to talk to my daughter and hear all about her trip to New York City. I vicariously lived through her as she was telling about trips to Chinatown and Little Italy and the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the 911 Memorial and about seeing a Broadway musical. Good for her!

But then later in the evening, I felt really sad. I wish my husband was a kinder man and a man who knew how to have fun. I have felt dead in this marriage for years. Yet, I don't know that I have the strength to leave.

I feel pretty good today. I only had to take a half dose of Xanax. I relaxed and just enjoyed so much taking the day off. It amazes me how fast time is passing.

I'm confused. Getting a lot of physical symptoms of anxiety, but none of the emotions/mental stuff that goes with it. My sleep routine is alternating between practically none at all and 15 hours at a time. Scattered moments of intense depression, very brief, then back to a vague numb.

It has been a long time since I have felt sincerely and genuinely happy!!! :) I am no longer sad, lonely and tired, (which is the way I felt for a very long time).:cool:

I am so happy for you. What a lot of work you have done on your life to be where you are now. Like a farmer plowing his fields, turning the soil over each year as it lay fallow so that the ground would be good soil and full of vitality. The ground of your being that you have tended, worked and weeded all these years is now ready for you to welcome your dear one and be in a healthy relationship.

May the sun shine lightly on your fields, the evening breeze bring you the beautiful scent of freedom, may you always have gentle rains when you need them.

All the goodness in God's world is yours, freely given and now freely received.

I feel a low grade anxiety that I cannot trace to the root cause. I feel a little depressed and I do not know why. I am trying to figure out what I want and need and am stumped on this one. Usually I can come up with something.

I am trying to make myself feel better around here. I feel good about that effort.

I'm feeling pretty strangely. Not good at all, but not bad either. Sort of a mediocre middle. I didn't shower today, which probably contributed to my listlessness (I didn't use to shower at all up until December of last year, yeah gross) and spending all my time in isolation is becoming increasingly difficult but at the same time I hate contact with others. My family doesn't pressure me into contact with them, but I do love them (as much as some of them have hurt me) and I feel I'm missing out on their lives with my distance. I feel guilty about it. I feel guilt about SO many things I'm not meant to carry guilt for.

Anyway, that's the current mood I guess.

Feeling a little confused. Been talking to an old friend from High School. I forgot how obnoxious he can be. Head games and it's stressing me out. I've been hurt to bad to risk it again. We have talked about me telling him I have a past, and little bits here and there. I don't think he gets it. He to is going through a tough time, I thought we could be a good support team, and was hopeful, but today I feel sad, I think it's best I let this one go. People say put yourself out there. I'm not ready for that... I have to many quirks still and just not ready to meet the expectations of other's. :( I feel like I've failed again.

Sorry to hear about the failed attempt at connecting with your friend @tired of the fight . I try to connect with people in my life too but my perceived inadequacies, paranoia and just my many, many flaws or things that make me different, end up weighing too much on every one of my relationships and they all end up leaving after a while. Either that or I realize they are toxic to me and drop them. But that doesn't happen often, mostly online ppl.

As of now, I have almost zero people to talk to or connect with even online, aside from my family. It's a small, very limited world. :(

I am feeling so great today. So much better than yesterday. It is just an awesome day for me. I really needed to feel my joyful feelings again.

Better then yesterday. Yesterday I just felt awkward. Today I feel a little more myself in a good way. More in tune.
