That's cool.
I don't actually have a stoic philosophy for my life in general
but I have elements of it Iguess.

Said that, I understand what you say, an emotion is gonna pass by but what can we do with it. Sure it will come back. What I see as an opportunity is that once it passes by, you will have a time to see things in a more objective way. You will have the opportunity to see the whole picture and from this, make decisions with a colder head. Maybe not at the first attempt but future ones.

Yeah, it just seems like for me it takes forever when it's about personal issues.
Also I think you are talking about emotion that is being expressed? Because that is when it's like having a colder head afterwards.
But I don't even express and that makes the emotions prolonged too and they "pass" even slower. Like I have to sit on it for days before it "passes" and I can't even do work for days then. Then deadlines pile up and ugh.
I don't express them because I don't have IRL friends left and I can't burden my family so I can't express the emotions often.
And if I do end up expressing sometimes, on my own, or sometimes to family or something, then I only pick up a little piece of the puzzle that got really complex over the years lol.

I haven't either, I have the DBT workbooks but I haven't done it with a therapist. I looked in the workbooks but I haven't found anything for my issue with expressing. It seems to be for people who express emotions easily and regularly.
