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.

  • Hi Oakling, 

    I'm sorry you're feeling this way, and I hope it passes soon.

    I find that my thoughts can move so fast that I have no recollection of them. And they stir up emotions, which because the thought passed me by without a trace, the associated emotions remain without context. Its then impossible to identify them. Do you experience this, or something similar? 

    I get a feeling of a ball, or an orb, that sits in my chest and floats outside of me at the same time. It's a feeling of something, or perhaps many something's, and it makes me feel uneasy. My heart rate will increase and I feel uncomfortable, and don't know why.

    I'm sorry that I have no answers for you, or solutions. I can only let you know that you're definitely not alone.

    Take care of yourself, and I do hope you feel better soon.
