(only been to see a psychologist twice now...)

Whenever anyone asks me how I'm feeling, I tend to give a circumstantial response. "I slept well last night so I'm great!" "Didn't sleep so I'm pretty grumpy" "I just had a blast doing X with my class!" or I respond about health/sleep. "My stomach's been sore," "Not so good - I still haven't slept"

I very rarely answer with how I actually feel. But then, usually how I actually feel are feelings like lonely, or scattered, or annoyed at being asked (again, circumstantial! I couldn't even list off my common emotions!!! I quit!)

Yeah. I failed at that one!

If I don't think that giving a circumstantial answer is going to work, or if they re-ask, I get very uncomfortable and don't know how to respond.
