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

[Recovery4Me]

I feel sad & empathetic as I read so many feelings that we all share in common at various times.:hug:

For me today personally, I have an extra day off from work-(which I just found out they tried to call me in):cautious: So I am feeling like a school kid playing hooky (not too shabby for an old battle axe). :clown:

Happy, tucked in my blanket, watching psych videos and surfing the net.

Considering the holidays are approaching, the cold weather is here, and a trauma "anniversary"; I am doing quite well. I feel comforted by my own self-soothing efforts.:happy:

:) I am happy, safe, and warm; ...watching videos, got the space heater going, have my comfy robe on, and a cuppa hot chocolate in hand. The only thing missing is a little herbal therapy and some company.;)

Stressed to the point that my stomach is having issues.

@Nighthawk :hug:

If you have stomach symptoms due to stress or IBS this does work for me.
Keep fresh Ginger Root on hand. When the stomach ache hits...take the Ginger root (peel & slice about one inch worth) with a few fresh spearmint leaves -or- with a piece of cinnamon stick & seep for three minutes in already boiled water enough for one big mug.

I use a little Chinese cast iron teapot with a strainer to hold the concoction. Add honey if you need it sweeter or place a green tea bag to offer a little more taste if desired. The relief will happen in about 20-30 minutes and the tea is pleasant.:)

I'm feeling a bit better...at least I can eat again light food since yesterday. But I'm feeling anxious about my therapy session later on.

And I'm feeling like my body is giving me the harsh respone for years of doing too much...and it's making me really scared.

 

[tired of the fight]

tore up and anxious. Waiting on a call from the SSI office to get my appt moved to out here where I live instead of Vegas, the phobia is so bad I can't make the hour and half trip. I called the man 12 times yesterday and got no response. Feeling scared and i'm getting those anxiety jolts, I hope to hear something soon and i cannot afford to lose my disability income, this is how i barely support my kids. Feeling just about to my wits end. :(

I feel so great today as my depression has lifted like a heavy fog and the skies are clear blue now with white fluffy clouds.

Here is a big hug to all that need them today.

 

[Lionheart]

Can't say why exactly, but I am feeling fairly content and happy. I will just enjoy the feeling and try not to over-analyse it...I am sure the reason(s) will make themselves known as I journal my thoughts and feelings in my diary.

So. Tired.

 

[Recovery4Me]

I feel impatient while waiting to regulate from attempting to expand my comfort zone. :meh:

For right now I'm claiming some success for myself. Nope second thought it's part of a gift that I can be thankful for. And, if I cannot think ably to communicate something, as well again or for some time, then I'm deciding right now that misplacing or losing that ability and gift is not my personal failure, nor a personal rejection of me by God. Instead I choose to think it concerns issues of loss and change and what may be.

Oh' and as to feelings. Much earlier today, I was feeling very anxious, even manic like after some bad news, then simply tired and fatigued. For right now, I'm feeling exhaustion as well as some relief and a little less fear.

Didn't sleep worth a darn, but the depressive funk isn't as heavy at the moment. Very glad the intrusive bad ideas are less frequent today, it was getting a bit scary.
