Feelings!

Hello,

Do you ever have one of those days where you feel scared and don't know why? Well, today I am having that kind of day.

I am not just scared. I am also angry, sad and tired. Nice combo for a Monday! What brought it on? I really don't know. It could be because there are many changes on the horizon. Whether they are good
or bad changes, I tend to react the same way. I'm not even sure that is why I have these feelings.

As person with bipolar disorder, I can tell you this. It just could be the chemicals in my brain. There is no rhyme or reason as to why the brain chooses to do what it does. The feelings I am experiencing could be triggers. That's what I have to pay attention to today.

We cannot deny our feelings. And avoiding them or pushing them away isn't good either. I'm feeling very uncomfortable today. That is just my reality today.

How am I handling it? I'm just being with my feelings. But I'm also having my day. Did some work and answered emails. My husband held me for awhile and that was calming. I have therapy tomorrow and might give my therapist a heads up as to what is going on with me.

I've learned over the years that whatever I am feeling is okay and it doesn't mean anything about me.  Feelings are just feelings. If I make them more than that, they become issues.  Still feeling uncomfortable though.

And I now have to get ready to take my daughter to her Aerial Yoga class.

Love and Peace
