Resentment and guilt. Some folks I helped to safety returned and thereby compromised a safehouse putting my friend's life at risk.
Anger at my body. Been in pain for a couple weeks now. Hoping this week I will turn the tide but... well I just hope.
May I recommend the Ologies podcast episode "Dolorology (Pain)"? It changed my understanding of pain. I think everyone should listen to this episode but particularly anyone struggling with chronic or recurring pain.

I hope you feel better soon.
I had flu all through last week ... is "bleaurgh" an emotion?
I've been happy and sad at the same time recently. Trying to concentrate on the happy helps :-)
Dread
Over anything in particular, or * gestures broadly at everying * ?
Definitely the subject of the gesturing
Understandable, have you got something positive (creative or caring) that you can plow yourself into for a bit of a holiday from the everything?
Hope, self confidence
Woo! Self confidence rocks!
Fatigue, in the sense of a world-weary, "O Death, why did you pass me over another year?"
OK, that's a bit strong, but it's on that spectrum. Just so tired of watching everything I've already seen a dozen times happen again.
Mmm, might be time to tune out for a bit :-/ You got anything good going on that you can concentrate on?
I hardly ever read news anymore as part of that tuning out. And I picked up a hobby of carving signature seals so that occupies my hands and brains. I'll be OK. Just on the down part of my cycle.
Oh honey, sending positive vibes your way. I hope you feel better soon <3
Fear, uncertainty, joy.
That’s not one is it?
What's bringing you joy?
WomensStuff
Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
