How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[snails]

Worried, anxious about the future. Teary-eyed.

It's PMS, but still valid feelings.

For sure valid feelings! I'm glad you shared this. So often we dismiss feelings because it's "just hormones". Still hurts. Still feels the same.
I hope you feel much better soon

Feelings are feelings no matter the source. I think some folks are dismissive to women because of our cycles.

On the other hand, at my age I have no hormones and grow hair on my face! Lol

Can't win for losing.

Hope you feel better soon!

Indeed. If I had nothing to be anxious about, I wouldn't feel this way. I'm on antidepressants that keep me happy almost all the time, so this feels more real.

Yes. I've learned to recognize them because it's like my antidepressants are not working during that week. Feels more in line with reality.

But only I can complain about my hormones, no one else is allowed to throw it in my face. :p haha

Thank you Angie. A little midnight distraction (painting) has already been helping.

So my therapist thinks I have ADHD...and the hospital also diagnosed me with schizoeffective disorder. These two combined honestly feels hellish sometimes. That's depression, voices, anxiety, boredom, lack of joy or interest in anything...I could go on but those are the worst. Is there any hope for someone like me, I wonder?

i'm pleased that you are feeling calm but sorry that you are dealng wth pain. do you have anything that can help? i hope the pain goes down soon


mike....

Thank you Mike. i take some stuff that is supposed to help. The pain eventually eased up. i think i may be having a flare up in my joint and muscle pains and being on testosterone for transitioning it just makes the body aches more intense. i should work on my diet and eating more inflammatory fighting foods. Maybe that can help 🙂

Thank you for replying to me, Mike. Always appreciated

Feeling really hopeful about the therapy service I referred myself to today. I'm so grateful about advances in technology and understanding of circumstances to make something like this possible. I'm worried about the impact if it doesn't work out. I'm fighting the need to sh and really horrible thoughts combined with worse anxiety than usual. Feeling really thankful for re-finding this place and for what I think is a bit of acceptance. You've helped me to come out of a crisis where I was doing things that could have ended my life, start taking medication again (again again), talk a little bit and reach out to this service. I'm still in a mess but so grateful.

You will definitely find acceptance here. It sounds like you are on a good path and glad you are fighting the urge to sh.

Feelings are feelings no matter what. It can be scary to look at the future, I agree. I hope some peace finds you soon.

I feel okay. Not the least bit suicidal which is quite unusual for me. Still having a lot of painful intrusive thoughts about my worthlessness and how awful the world is in general. They are just thoughts, but it tends to color my feelings when they won’t let up.

 

[Aurelia]

My family keeps trying to deter me from worshipping God because they're afraid I'm going to lose my mind and become delusional and overly fixated on it all. So because of their fears I have to stop worshiping my God? I don't think so. It's frustrating.

Warm. Already ran 6 miles today but that only kept the stomach gnawing anxiety at bay for a couple of hours. Just had to go and walk around for another half hour. Chip shop is shut or I'd have got chips for my supper, so have put a pan of pasta on. As the anxiety pangs resemble hunger pangs, maybe eating something will calm them down 🤷‍♂️ Eating will maybe help. I've been living off bowls of cereal lately. Maybe that's why I'm getting hunger pangs.

Intrusive thoughts are so hard. I don't think you're worthless

Eating sounds like a good idea I hope it makes you feel better. Impressed at the cooking, looking after yourself can be so hard

Feel very weird. Incredibly anxious, some other feelings that I can't name, frightening feelings, hope they go away.
