Good/Bad/Should....are negative thinking patterns.
You state that you need to feel in the moment, in order to pass your classes in school?
Writers are known to go through what is a writer's block, at times. Unable to express themselves, because something inside of them holds them back.
In order to better communicate with others, on paper, zeroing in on the here and now, is a key ingredient, whether you want to be a novelist, like Stephen King, or just pass the class.
It's OK, to stop, ask yourself, right now, what am I feeling? Whether the emotion be positive, negative, strong or weak; Accepting it, in the moment will help.
It takes time to. Don't need to have a traumatic past, in order to not be able to move past those good/bad thinking patterns.

The part of me that makes me hide them is in control of everything, it can make me quiet when
. It also happens with writing, sometimes I have words to write down but that part of me says no you can't.
Sometimes it shuts me down before I've even started thinking about what I want to write.
because creative writing (and other stuff that would reveal emotions).
