Weekly Prompt #32: How are you feeling right now?
Hi everyone, I hope you are all being easy on yourself this week.
A couple of weeks ago we discussed: What are your fears when it comes to social situations? Thank you to all who participated and shared your thoughts with us. I appreciate you all. I hope all who may read it find it relatable too. If anyone hasn't shared yet, please share them here and I look forward to reading and discussing them with you.
This week's prompt: On a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, how would you rate the way you’re feeling right now? Can you explain why you feel this way right now?
I want us to simply reflect on our feelings this week and share every day how are we feeling. what are the reasons behind those feelings and support each other. Take this as an opportunity to share and discuss anything and everything you feel comfortable to share. So let's get started and take our small steps to share and support.

On a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, how would you rate the way you’re feeling right now? Can you explain why you feel this way right now?
I think I'd say a solid 5, because yesterday wasn't the best day of the week. Whether it's intentional or not I feel used, manipulated, and just like pawn. While it's completely fine for them to take breaks and take their sweet time to do things while I don't have that luxury. Every opportunity has to be taken even if I don't want to and especially if I'm too stressed to take it on. Every time I think we're making progress it just seems to be a ploy for them to get me to do what they want me to do. I said I didn't want to do yet another program because I'm stressed out. Then they asked me if changes were made if I would do the program? I said yes, because it was a nice program. They proceeded to sign me up while saying things were changing from here on out. So, now I am enrolled in this program and lo and behold when I sign up things go back to normal. At some point you just become numb to these things.
Now, it's the next day and I got a lot of work done so I'm feeling productive. At the moment I'm trying to be hopeful and hang on but that feeling that I'm just a puppet to them is lingering so a solid 5.
@JollyRacher looks like you had a difficult day yesterday. The feeling of you're being used and manipulated and that doesn't feel good. I understand you trying to be hopeful but it is challenging not to feel the way that you feel right now, especially when you've been let down so many times.

I'm really struggling. I've been working a toxic job and I'm just waiting until the year is almost over. I work at a school and we have two months left of the school year left and I've been looking for a new job but still no luck. My boss has been gaslighting me and making it apparent that she doesn't like me. She's been excluding me and throwing passive aggressive comments towards me and overall taking out her anger on me because I'm an easy target. I'm terrified of going to work and being humiliated and ganged up on by the rest of the girls. My anxiety has made me physically ill and has dibilitated me. I'm struggling to sleep and eat and obsessed with work. I just want to get through these two weeks.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I am about a 6, could be better but could be worse as well
I’m a 4 or 5? Definitely feeling like I’m vacillating between total apathy, wading through the drudgery and monotony of life… and having a complete breakdown over letting anyone else’s emotions overwhelm me…

@palomadelapaz13 I understand how you are feeling today, palom. You are experiencing a range of difficult emotions. On one hand, feeling apathetic and disconnected, but at the same time, also feeling vulnerable and worried about being overwhelmed by other people's emotions. That's a lot to carry. How are you taking care of yourself during this challenging time?
Mainly distracting myself with *** and Webtoons- leaning towards the apathy, and feeling super guilty about it.
I would say that I am currently feeling like a 5 or a 6 right now. I feel so much better since the last few weeks where I've been feeling lost or despondent. And I'm actually feeling really great about some manifestations that are coming in for me. But I do feel this almost overwhelming sense of worry or anxiety. This sorta preoccupation with he future and how things are going to transpire for me in the long run.
I basically am feeling like I'm going through a massive transformation and I guess I'm just worried about the unknown. I've always been one of those people who can't stand not knowing something. So, I think that the best thing I can do is trust in the Divine and the Universe that things will work out in my favor for my highest good. I have to trust that what's going to happen is happening for me and not to me. Whatever is meant to happen for me, I know that there's going to be a high level of happiness and abundance. It's like I can almost taste it!
I also forgot to mention that I am feeling as if a major cycle is coming to a close for me. That's another cause for anxiety for me right now. I'm very eager to close that door and finalize that chapter and move on to what's next.
@janewayalpha1 You seem to be experiencing a lot of inner shifts and changes lately. Feeling anxious about all these transformations and the unknown aspects of life is valid and natural. How do you feel when you think about closing this chapter and moving forward?
@ASilentObserver
I'm really excited to see what's next and what's in store for the next chapter of my life. Whatever it may be or whatever it may lead to, I trust that I'll be divinely guided to where I need to be. Thank you for asking! =)
Till it happens, the best thing I can do is be there for myself. Show myself kindness and love and nurture myself.
@janewayalpha1 It is nice that you are very optimistic about the future, Jane. Keep taking your small steps. you got this.
