How do you REALLY feel today???

I had a really good day today and for now will just enjoy it, which is something I usually do not do.

Don't stop.... it makes me feel better at least to write is out

I felt the high water recede a fair bit...Made some more progress in my daily routine...was able to focus on the task at hand. Got a [hellova] lot of things done that begged doing. So please wee magical pharmaceutical pixie...tell me this will last...won'tcha?

Aside from a rumbling growl at an underlying source of anxiety, I've felt pretty good these last few days. Today was good to great in many ways...but much needs change.

Had mine removed exactly this time last year. It's not bad. Mine had to be removed; it was actually emergency surgery because it was blocking the flow of bile from the liver. They said if I had to wait more than a few more hours, it would have become septic.

At this very moment I am furious.

Profound sense of loss.

I am extremely stressed right now (Doing my Taxes )

I kind of feel like I am moaning saying this but I am going to say it anyway...

I feel emotional, empty, worthless feel hopeless and nothing.

Still moody.

Thanks but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I keep waking up more exhausted than the day before. I have something I need to finish. It's discouraging.

I feel Quiet today. Trying to stay that way so nobody piss me off

Sorry you are feeling exhausted too, George. I hope you are giving yourself credit for the progress you make toward finishing your project. I made some progress in small ways again today. I gave Mom a bath and helped her get ready for church. I was slow starting and we were late for church. I feel exhausted and headachy today. I got the pop cans returned and picked up a few groceries with the deposit money and washed her clothes and the towels & wash clothes. It's depressing the state I let things get in around here.

Good. A seven-year-old girly-girl relative and I made waffles this morning. She emptied about a half-bottle of syrup on her waffle. We laughed about it.

I feel cr*** but work on feeling grateful. Im 43 and Ive feel that all the effort that Ive put in to caring for a mentally ill parent has come to naught. I dont blame her, as it was my own stupidity, naivety, I think Im feeling sorry for myself. Its taken its toll and I feel very weary, I dont consider myself as a martyr, I think I had dependency issues, I just wish I had been less needy and less compassionate, and less spiritual and then I would I have told her where to go, and lived, instead of existing. I shouldnt feel like this, but Im marvelling at my stupidity.

Well the good feelings of yesterday quickly faded this time around. I feel lost and down today. A lot of past memories and thoughts are coming back to me today. I am reliving a lot of what I have done.

I'm sorry you are feeling so low. I know how it feels to try to help someone and have it come to nothing. I also know how it feels to be used. It's not that you are stupid. For some reason many compassionate people lack the ability to see other peoples' motives. It's so much more difficult if the person is a relative because you feel so obligated to serve. It's also true that care giving can make you feel that you are a worthwhile person. And it IS true that what you have done DOES make you worthwhile. You sacrificed yourself for someone else's needs. Whether that registered with your Mom or not, you did it and that makes me feel respect for you.

I'm feeling trapped and lonely. I don't know what it is about me that I can't make friends. Even animals aren't attracted to me and I love animals. I'm 63 so really starting over is not in the cards. At least here I don't feel so weird. Other people here are hurting and are honest about that. That makes this place pretty special for me.

I have a headache from hell so I am just down and out today.

Today i went to the dentist today. Got things to do each day. Want to take each day as comes.

I am feeling depressed; messed up; shattered; alone; dread in the pit of my stomach; a terrible sense of foreboding; worthless; pointless and useless. My back and leg are in intense pain. That is how I really feel today, it's just after midday here now, one day rolls into the next. Not getting out of bed today, do not have the energy. Urges are extremely high…terrified that I may have to go back to the Psych Unit.

Partner at work, I am so dependent on him it is scary. Our relationship is so unhealthy and dysfunctional. Pity, because there was a time when it was good. That was many moons ago.

Well, that is how I am really feeling so far today.

I am just really tired today. It's amazing what a day of stress can do to your energy levels...

Same here.... did not sleep well at all

Extremely angry & paranoid.

I am enthralled after last night. I got to spend time with him, and he hugged me twice, really long, big hugs, and didn't take his arms from around me afterwards. He looked like he wanted to lean in and kiss, but there were a lot of people around and he's shy.

I feel like a light just turned on and can see where I am now...stuck in a really claustrophobic closet. I hate it in here!
