What Moved You Emotionally Today?

[Anrish]

I was moved by anger...and hope.

Anger because of my neighbour. He treated me really bad some weeks agon and after I told him that I did not approve with his behaviour, he just didn't contact me anymore. But today...I found a belated birthday present in my post box...but I don't feel good about it. When he was concerned, he always had time to come over, to chat with me...and now, he hasn't even time to ring at my door to give me the present?!

...and hope moved me because my best friend passed her entrance exam and we can start to think about the further steps.

I have a feeling of accomplishment and contentment that I got my chores done for the day. I often post more than once a day here, I figure there are probably a dozen emotions I can go through in a day easily. The trick is to see them as they change from one to another, especially when one finds the next one not to be as pleasant as the last. How to regain the better emotion is not so easy! However, boredom is a better one by far than anger or grief or worst of all, fear and anxiety, the ones that plague folks with PTSD the worst, I'd say.

I decided to put on a ring that I bought for myself some time ago. It has just been sitting in my drawer all this time and today I got it out and put it on my finger.

It is heart-shaped and looks like it has all these diamonds around it. It really is lovely and now I can look at it and remember all those feelings I felt when I bought it, just for me.

@The Albatross I have become aware of thought cascades in myself. I can go on such a downward spiral on the smallest thing that triggers an emotional flashback from my childhood. I am focusing on the positive but I have found that I am noticing my ruminations much more by listening to "The Mindful Way Through Depression" and reading bits of the book that anthony recommends "Feeling Good The New Mood Therapy".

So I am less dissociated, derealised and depersonalised. Still finding it hard not to go around and around in my head.

Day 18 I am pretty overwhelmed at the moment. I am also really anxious. I am moved by the improvements in my life. I was moved my positives yesterday. I got overwhelmed last night. Yesterday I was moved by my having my sister back in my life. I am very lucky. I am also pretty stressed and overwhelmed by it all.

Being a yankee in the south of the USA is not so much fun, unless you have a southern belle for a neighbor. Then things go much better, because you let her report that noisy neighbor to the police. She knows exactly how to get results in this foreign country called the south. What a relief, she gets results. YIPPEE! So I am feeling relieved.

Seeing so many responses to my question in the Discussion section this morning made me happy.

Day 21: Rereading the first 37 pages of my diary without hardly a blip of stress emotionally made me feel encouraged. Realizing that all the big issues though are still in play for me and that my view of things and myself have improved but the situations still haven't to a significantly large degree .. made me aware without the harsh self criticism. That made moved me to be aware of "where" I am still stuck and emotionally moved me to feel sad but not more than a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10.

People at park place asked me where were you this days? Made me feel I am part of walking with them. Two old gentlemen waved at me and one of them shook hands with me and we asked about each others well-being. I felt I did socializing and this made me smile. Well, I couldn't say anything to them because I changed my routes to walk everyday. I find today very moving. :watching::cry:

Day 22, on my walk this morning watching people play with their dogs- the sheer amount of joy the dogs were getting out of it. Also I saw two groups of horse riders. The second group of horses were huge and majestic and the riders all smiled at me. One of the horses in the first group got a bit spooked by me (no idea why) and refused to move on until I passed him. I felt a little sorry for the poor thing, but it was amusing. I'm not at all scary!

Someone in a supermarket who was so joyous trying to show me where something was, chatting away, it made me remember I used to be like that sometimes and that does exist in me too.

I was moved by a movie I discovered again in my cupboard. I almost forgot how nice it can be to sit on my couch and just watch a movie.
