Those of you who don't 'feel' numb, what do you feel? I mean, what exactly do you feel inside to know that you are really feeling? Is there physical sensations or do you just 'know' that you are happy or sad or angry or etc.....?
Just curious how others out there perceive their emotions.

Usually, numb is a state of despair, for me. Sinking feeling in the gut, heart loudly beating and a little faster. Different than an anxiety palpitation. I, usually alternate, situation dependant between calm, some joy, some anger, some sadness. Irritated comes when physically tired, and I am fluctuating between thinking about life, money, love, politics and focusing on family and I feel unable to breathe. Anger, tends to be situation dependant, may get a bit shaky in my hands, as I tense up, lip gets a little sore, biting has been age old self soother, biting my own lip, i must disclaim, if I am in psychotherapy work throughs, self work, actually, if something triggers my past upsets, I feel sick to my stomach and recognize it's an old wound.
I know sadness, from the tears.
I know happiness from the smiles.
Joy is longer lasting than happiness, i think? Joy is something I work on..
Think that's the usual suspects of emotional physiological reactions I can personally think of, at this moment. ..
