this is wonderful..I have been battling emotions so long. I recognize that they are just that, emotions, and I can control and steer their reality by my thought life but I know emotions have a purpose too but I struggle with the balance.

If you are a teenager it may just be part of puberty. Hope you feel better soon.

Emotional Intelligence is the one thing everyone should strive for in their lives. Being able to name them, feel them, monitor, and cope with emotions is key to self awareness and growth.

Isn't it possible that someone might be better off taking their own life? If one is tired and has no hope and has tried therapy and has lived and has nothing to which to look forward and life is just drudgery - worse: constant, unremitting pain?

Personally - I think that taking your own life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I would suggest talking to your T and/or pdoc and letting them know just how you feel.

I've generally felt this way for many years now.
However, I keep coming back to only ONE answer: keep trying.
Whether you believe it or not, I think you're doing exactly that by reaching out here.

I hope today brings you a bit more hope.

lovEternal - I googled my user name and didn't come up with anything linking me back to this site. You may want to post this question in the technical support thread.

Hi there, I'm not sure if you've gotten this question answered or not. This is a public forum, if you google psych central you can get here and to the forums. You do not need a username to see these posts.

If I type into google "Psych Central Coping with emotions" I can get to this subforum, but if I type in your user name additionally it does not go to your profile. For someone to see what you've written here they'd have to know your username. Hope this helps. The previous poster was right there's also another section of the forums in which these questions are normally answered, and you can always PM a moderator or admin with any questions.

I am in a rough place. I don't think I've had many safe times to express emotions--I've usually been told some form of 'you shouldn't feel that', especially when it's an emotion such as anger or upset.

What can I do for this?

I was told something similar, growing up. I see a T who helps me to figure out my emotions and lets me know that its OK to have them even if I don't know where they are coming from. She also told me yesterday that I need to remember that the emotions are just feelings and that the feelings can't hurt me. Not sure if that helps. You could post your own thread here in this section asking for advice.

Excellent!! Thanks so much for posting that! My old T used to tell me the same thing all the time.

I've always had a difficult time separating feelings from reality in certain situations.
It really does help to constantly reassure ourselves that feelings cannot hurt us.

Re: Coping with emotions

Hi to everyone! I am new to this site and feel I will be able to gain some very helpful & insightful information from you. I have extreme difficulty identifying emotions. I feel the first step to understanding yourself (at least for me) is to be able to identify what you are feeling before you can begin to know what your needs are. I wish you all a sense of calmness and peace within. We all so deserve it
