Feel Good versus Feel Well
“Feel well” and “feel good” are often mistaken to mean the same thing.
However, they are not the same. “Feel well” has to do with the state of your
health while “feel good” has to do with your state of mind. When you are
feeling well, you are physically healthy. However, when you are feeling
good, you are happy. Below are some wrong and proper usages of these two
phrases:
Incorrect: I went to see my doctor this morning because I was not

I went to see my doctor this morning because I was not

well

this morning after enjoying myself at the party last
night.
Correct:

feel good
this morning after enjoying myself at the party last
night.
