I've recently had a feeling that i'm not able to tell if it's a positive or a negative feeling. or if anyone else ever feels the same.. right now i feel kinda stupid about it, because i dont know of anyone else that has felt this way...
I know it's not exactly scared... or lonely.. and its most definitely not seeking any kind of attention.. but i only know what it isn't.. and i wanna know what it is. and the reason. I mean i know the point of time when i started feeling it, but thats not a clear enough reason for me.... Yesterday i had a lot going on, and a lot of changes in my routine, and long story short, i ended up talking to the police and a state police lady with the big help from my friend. Afterwards we were going home, and i started trying to put words to the feeling that i had just started feeling, and it came to "i dont really want to be left alone right now" and i was wish i had one of the soft stuffed animals that i could make hug me right then.. it wasn't any wants/thoughts of harming myself either.

Could you have possibly felt any of these? I came up with this long list of "feelings" when I was trying to learn how to identify my own. Any luck?

Here's another feelings list that groups them in categories. I find it useful sometimes:
https://www.cnvc.org/Training/feelings-inventory Are you feeling needy? I don't mean it in a bad way, but like needing comfort, a hug, soothing touch.

Maybe it means you are starting yo accept your self, and want to hug yourself now.

Maybe it's just relief that you let go of something & that is unfamiliar. Plus, like Thunder Bow said, you wanna hug and be comforted.
Here you go  (((((((Lexi)))))))

It sounds to me like a fear of abandonment. I don't have a wide range of major feelings or emotions, but this is a biggie for me. I don't get the sense that you have, as Dr Phil calls it, a soft place to land, or that home ever was like that for you. So you went looking for an authority figure to provide safety. My t is out of town this weekend, which doesn't happen very often, and he made a point of telling me he would be thinking of me. I didn't understand this at first, but I think I'm starting to - it kind of makes me feel like I exist someplace besides in just my own head.

thanks! the lists are helpful.
im pretty sure its not abandonment fears in my case. needy is a likely one. also i found others that fit, cautious, jittery/jumpy, i think dependant too. and... i dont like feeling dependent. like suddenly i just got weak and exposed. hmm.... thanks everyone!  *group hugs*Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
