I am having trouble understanding how to sit with my feelings. Please can I have advice as to what that means?

I realize that I have a problem. As soon as I have my session, I have the urge to email my T or start a thread here. I feel like I have to share my feelings and get validated. I find it very difficult to sit with the feelings. You'd think I would be able to do that by now. I was in a DBT group for 1 1/2 years and have been with my T for 5 years.

The only thing that works for me is distraction. Does sitting with your feelings mean doing nothing, or does it mean feeling them? What does it mean to you?
