How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[AvidFan]

I feel tired too. Stayed up later playing video games for the first time in 9 months or so. Hopefully it's tired my brain a bit, I am going to my bed as my eyes are sore.

Ugh, my AC just broke, so I'm going to be hot and sweating these next few days (or weeks) until we get a new one.

I had that happen several years ago, I hope they get it fixed as quickly as possible.

 

[SillyOldBear]

Disgusted.

 

[LumberJack]

Angry, but I don’t know how to handle it without being accusing or sarcastic. I can restrain one or the other, but not both at the same time.

I had a bowl of cereal yesterday and then my stomach hurt all night. It seems I might be lactose intolerant. I should have gotten Silk instead. I had some incidents in the past with dairy also, so I should have remembered, but I didn't. The pain seems to be gone this morning, but it sure wasn't fun last night.

Disgusted.

Sorry....do you wanna say what's making you feel that way?

 

[nicktheundoer]

I feel so very tired. I’m interestingly feeling a bit better mood wise. Not well, or even medium, but less crappy, at least. Back to bed assembly.

The violence running rampant in America these days. Most recently displayed with the assassination attempt on Trump.

Less depressed, not suicidal. Feel down though. Hurt.

Good heavens, this was the first I knew about this, just been reading about it on BBC as I'm waking up.

Bit bleary-eyed. Woke up just before 8 but managed to get back to sleep, and did get some sleep while I was in bed, for a change. Time and coffee will tell how refreshing the sleep was!

Anxious. Going back to work tomorrow

Anxious. Going back to work tomorrow

I'm anxious too. And I'm starting a new job soon, which doesn't help the anxiety any. I'm probably going to do just fine, but that's not really helping matters.

 

[Aurelia]

Starting to feel a bit better. Who even knows anymore why I get anxious. Sometimes I am and sometimes I'm not and there doesn't seem to be any clear reason for it.

Same here though there are probably biochemical reasons for me at the moment (benzo withdrawal waves and windows!). It's only a few days ago that I was feeling so anxious I could barely function, it was like a low level panic attack constantly. Today I feel relatively calm - very calm considering the issues I am facing. Not sure if it's denial in my case, but I also rationally think there is no point feeling anxious about the inevitable or what I can't change. I hope the really bad anxiety doesn't come back for me, and hope you feel much better in time!

Maybe anxiety goes through cycles, waves and windows of a sort, like weather - sometimes it's clear skies and sometimes cloudy, but always changing and maybe our emotions are a bit like that.

I am doing OK, there is nothing I can do about anything today. I have assigned weekends as non worry times, also weekdays after 8pm. These times are set aside for self care, games, fun, relaxation as much as possible. There is going to be a lot of worry outside those times but I can only worry so much. Hopefully I will also be able to gradually take actions to solve the issues but there is such a mountain to climb I have to do it one day and one action at a time while trying to stay in the present and enjoy the here and now as much as I can. I am thinking back to times I was living in hotels when my house had flooded, I got through that, and had years of peace since then - it looks like it's just time for disruption again. Wish I could stay in hotels again but probably can't afford that. Maybe a little trip away here and there, when I've figured out the giant financial hole I will be in after sorting the house.

Mine goes through waves too it seems. Some days I'm relatively okay and other days I'm restless. This morning I was restless, and now I'm mostly okay. Having some trouble concentrating, though, on certain things. But the benzo withdrawal surely doesn't help matters. Nevertheless, I want to be off them for good and I'm so close.

Good luck with it. As if on cue my anxiety has come flooding back. It's not mental, I wasn't thinking about anything in particular, just chilling on my sofa - but suddenly started getting the lurching stomach etc and that made me feel anxious and then it started up in other ways. The physical side is horrible.
