I promised in the chat that I would post a link to a list of emotions. You will find some good lists if you google "emotions list." If it is hard to figure out what you are feeling, you may be experiencing more than one emotion, or more complex emotions, or maybe you need more practice identifying emotions. I need to get a lot better at it, myself. I carry around a "cheat sheet" (a copy of an emotions list) for when I get stuck. See if you can find the ones that fit when you get stuck.

There are only a few basic emotions. The rest are related emotions - different combinations and intensities. Different theorists name different groups of basic emotions, but they are similar. This page has a chart of some of the basic emotions, and also a tree structure that groups emotions based on the basic ones.

I have a copy of the emotions tree chart in my planner and have kept it for several years. It comes in handy sometimes.
