I wish I understood my own feelings more

Oakling

Today feels wrong. I feel really off and like things are not right around me, but I don’t know why. I think I am unhappy, but I honestly don’t know yet.

I really wish I could get to grips with things a bit quicker sometimes. Today is one of those instances. I don’t even have the words to talk it through.

In these moments I feel very trapped.

No obvious triggers either which is the frustrating thing. 

Yesterday I was feeling it too, but tried to work through it by staying active and by starting a thread and talking on here about collections and interests. I don’t seem to have the same capacity today.

This is the best I can do at the minute to put some words out there to describe where I am at in this moment in time. I think I wouldn’t manage the same if someone asked how I was in the outside world today. They would encounter a terrible attempt at masking I reckon.

    Are you journalling? If not now would seem a good time to start and as you build up a record of what you can write down (along with other stuff happening around you) then you can build up a better picture of which things are happening when you feel in a certian way.

    It is rarely obvious when you are on the inside but with time you see patterns emerging that help you understand and eventually deal with these.

    Have you tried a therapist? They are not particularly cheap but speaking with someone who is non-jusdgemental and actually equipped to help us through these times can be invaluable.

    Please keep going with the dialogue and the community here will help as best we can.
