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

[myheart]

I'm feeling grateful for all the cool people on this forum! I know I can come on here and most of what I read I relate to, so I am grateful!
@Anrish So sorry dear Anrish about what you're going through! I don't know if this book would give any insight on the way to respond to a situation like that, but have you read 'Co-Dependent No More' by Beatty? It was an extremely helpful book that made me realize that I am NOT responsible for other people's lives and that I should only do what I want to do. (Those supportive lessons have stuck with me since then and have been a life-saver!)

I'm just feeling pissed. This morning a co worker frustrated me and went home and petted my dog for about half an hour and was feeling better but this funk has caught up to me and just feeling in a bad mood.

@holdenmonty It is wonderful that you are being honest, that seems to me to be the best way to release stress, bad feelings and other garbage we collect within ourselves in our daily lives! I think that sharing keeps us healthy so we don't explode. As far as your funk is concerned, I think of moods like weather, one day sunny, one day cloudy...the sun will shine again. :)

I don't want to accept myself or my physical form

Well I accept you, and I am quite sure many others do also! Hang in there please. ((Many warm hugs if it's ok!))

thank you @Kim500, I have learned the hard way. I am naturally a stuffer and it just turns into poison that slowly kills me from the inside out. That is a very good way of thinking about moods and with my moods lately it seems like the weather here in Colorado cold and icey one day and sunny and warm the next

nausea

I feel nauseaus so often so I can relate. I hope you feel better soon...

Thank you for your kind 'like' and response! I understand a lot about 'stuffing', but if you can at least be honest with your own self, and even talk to yourself about how you are REALLY feeling, I think it would take the pressure off the pot quite a bit. It does for me!

Yeah I was talking to my therapist the other day and I said it isn't the "crazy people" that talk to themselves it's the people that don't talk to themselves that are "crazy" because they aren't dealing with whats going on

 

[myheart]

it isn't the "crazy people" that talk to themselves

I very much agree because I read once something I agree with! It said that the people who truly are crazy don't know it, and the people who think they are nuts aren't!) :)

moods

Moods can be affected by seasons. It's called SAD, which stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder. I think a lot of people feel this during the winter and maybe even during the fall. But the point I wanted to make, the Reason I mentioned that I think moods change like the weather is because I have experienced this phenomenon time and time again. I can't count how many times I said to myself, "This is it. I will Never smile again! This life is over for me." (And I truly meant it.) But somehow, each time I bounced back, to my Great surprise! (Which is kind of like the seasons, isn't it!) The trees lose all their leaves and seem as if they are dead, but a few months later they start showing little buds of new growth!) :) So these days, at 45 years old, I kinda think that even if I feel like "It's over for me!!", that in a few days, or a month, or whatever, that I'll feel good again! :)
