How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[Inastorm]

I'm doing OK. Energy crashed physically on Monday and mentally last night, but feel OK so far today. Bit of a funny muddled week with the bank holiday and some bitty office appointments that mean I have to commute a couple of days for not very much. Got Friday back to WFH so it's a fairly easy week as long as I don't pull 12 hour days on my remote job (did 5 hours yesterday which is about right!).

You feeling a bit more settled in yourself from the other day?

Horrible.

Trying to get through it.

It's kind of funny how, despite this question being posted so many years ago, there are still people commenting. Anyway, hi, I'm not feeling well today, but I'm trying to forget my problems for a while. Thanks for asking.

man, I just feel incredibly sad out of nowhere. It is probably because I am super tired, but I can't be sure because I don't feel tired. I also don't feel thirst. I only notice that I am dehydrated when my pee is roughly the color of apple juice. I wish I was joking.

Intensely hopeless now. I'm upsetting myself by thinking about all the problems in the world. Going down news article rabbit holes. Need to go sit and watch my breath.

Often i know we tend to ignore certain needs in our lives. For you, it seems to be your thirst and rest right now. You can e mentally but not physically tired. Or the other way around... or both and just can't recognize it right now.

i only know this because we had to teach my youngest something along these lines throughout her life. She didn't know how to recognize certain things within her body. From needing to use the restroom, to most recently... feeling her baby moving inside her. For her, it's her dyspraxia that causes it. For others it could be trauma, physical or mental... or both. Could also be dissociation.

Whatever the reasons for it, recognizing it allows you to do something about it. You have done the most difficult part already. Recognizing it. Now you get to do the easier part of doing something about it plz don't ask me how, i haven't gotten to that step yet. i am still struggling to recognize it. i know you can get through this, because you have before. And you will again. You got this! And when you don't... others are there/here to help you regrasp it again.

You're not alone. I hope you can find some equanimity. Fill the holes in for now.

I find myself wondering if the world just may deserve all the crap that is going on right now.

A degree of relief from being in a multi day foul mood.

Between car trouble and work trying to have me put a square peg in a round hole I have had a massive case of the grumpy fuck-its.

Hiring a geriatric woman in her 60s to work in a warehouse that has a opinion about everything and God about the way we do things after 2 weeks grinds me gears. To add insult to injury she thinks I'm being a asshat anytime I correct her or direct her to doing best practices.

I want to yell at her all the time cause it's like wow I'm supposed to train her to one of the most difficult tasks in the building and the thought never occurs to her that after being there almost a year and doing everything under the sun in warehousing the last 8 years of my life (including management) that I actually might know what the hell I'm doing and what the hell I'm talking about.

But no...I'm chopped liver to her cause she is double my age.

Actually - pretty good. Some "do not know yet" - but ok.

Just feeling bland in general. Hopefully going to the gym tomorrow will help

 

[LumberJack]

Sad, angry, invalidated, unseen, unheard, powerless, humiliated, and hurt. I can’t ask for help because that just exposes me to more vulnerability. Why take a risk that has no upside. If you’ve seen the classic movie, Brazil, I’m feeling a lot like that.

Yes, i'm sure that will help. Hope you feel better soon.

I love Brazil, though I dont watch it enough, but yes I know what you mean. When I feel powerless, it's usually because my expectations are too high. Start small goals and see how you go.

Sounds like a crap day, no wonder your grumpy. Try doing something nice after work.

I feel a bit better than the last few days, where I felt like I was going to die from over emotion in my brain. I watched a good video feed of a poet last night, who said they rather write love poems than suicide notes, and rather feel everything than nothing at all. Really good.

The powerlessness is about being held accountable to powerful organizations who have no reciprocal accountability to me. If I get hurt, I have to accept, forgive, and move on. By contrast, if I make a mistake I have to pay for it. How is it that in a business transaction only the customer has to fulfill their side of the agreement.
