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

[Spiderallis]

I'm hunting really hard looking for my positive-thing-of-the-day today... I guess I'll consider the effort to find any small positive thing to be the positive thing. Otherwise I'm a bit down, but it's not super far down depressive funk, so I'll be okay with that.

I'm not nearly as much of a bitch today as I was yesterday *blush* ;) just a babble butt instead. Today has been a day of mind numbing errands as we'll leave for a road trip to sunny San Diego next Friday. I'm not taking care of anyone else today except for making a healthy dinner. Knees are swollen from being up on crutches dancing some last night (apparently too much lol). I also several rum mojitos last night dislocated my thumb and possibly sprained my wrist. We're looking for ring splints that I can still wheel with for the Ehlers Danlos, but so far no luck. Blankets on, heating pad is cranked up high, going to put some movie on, and paint. :hug:

I feel a sense of accomplishment for getting fifteen more resumes mailed out today and writing a letter as a support to my friend who has heart issues I am feeling very good although the stress is coming out on my body. I feel good because I keep trying and do not give up.

Feeling pain in my body - my hip and my arm. Feeling so many emotions through the rumination in my head. Listening to "The Mindful Way Through Depression" in order to have the thoughts and thinking to challenge my own ruminations.

I feel another wave of delayed onset teenage rebellion coming on. I'm in my 30's, so there's not much to rebel against. Confused but amused, and pretty sure something awesome might happen at some point...

@Spiderallis: One is never too old to rebel! ;)

I'm feeling vulnerable, weak, worn out...and unfocused...

I am feeling hopeful and happy because I keep on pressing forwards no matter what is going on in my life right now.

I'm feeling grateful for this forum. Group :hug: I mean if ya like hugs that is.

Feeling like I am at the hard slog of noticing the ruminations, challenging them or coming back to the fact that those are ruminations that kept me safe as a child but are not helpful now.

Still trying to figure my feelings out. I am not sad. I am not mad. I guess I am happy. Content.

Feeling overwhelmed at what I have to do today. So break it down to bit by bit and do it!

I am feeling relief. I stopped the Seroquel and started gabapentin under my pdoc's orders all in the same night. That was last Thursday. By Sunday I was seriously suicidal, almost passed out three times, and have facial numbness. I am still having a reaction to the class of drugs Seroquel is in, experiencing a reaction to going cold turkey off of Seroquel, and am having a reaction to the gabapentin. I am so relieved that my pdoc agreed with me today that I should discontinue the gabapentin. I am relieved to feel a little bit better today. I'm hanging in there.
