Thanks DocJohn! This will surely help members --and others who read here-- to assess how their feelings are orchestrating their lives, and if they are. It will also be easier to give support along these lines because, by posting here, they would have already realized their emotions are getting "in the way" of their lives. It's always been an iffy posting for me to try and give support in some of the other forums, noting less than healthy feelings, but being unsure if the member is ready to hear what, imo, needs to be said.
This is going to help many members heal faster I think! __________________ |

Emotions are quite complex specially when one is little bit sensitive. At work place emotions really upset you and after work one continued thinking about what happens or your reaction in office. Having control over emotions and feelings in hard is a really challenge anyone have idea how to keep composure and stay calm

DocJohn, Thanks for starting this forum.
Emotions are/were a mystery to me. Recently found out that my emotions serve a purpose and not something to avoid at all costs. And the cost was my health. (Depression) I look forward to meeting others and together we can help each other with our emotional life. Is there a Smilie for gratitude? |

Hi thank you for the welcome
I felt the need to write to this forum because I have suffering from billing at work. I have 5 years in my current job the first two and a half were extraordinary. But the last years there I have been working with a new supervisor. This person was reported to skip the company policies, when she knew this she took against me. Her manager is her friend so both have made my life impossible affecting my family as well, my health ( I developed insomnia and I have a contracture in my back that last 1 year) I'm frustrated, angry and sad at the same time I reported this after one year of abuses. They are checking my case. This fight is going to be hard. My supervisor and her supervisor ( at the end my supervisor as well ) are very close, they are professional liars and I don't know how my case is going to close or what are going to be the conclusions. I swear and I have my conscious clean, I'm said the true. But know I'm alone because the rest of the team have been rewarded with lot of money, so there are silence now. My only hope is to have faith that my case is going to well reviewed and the is going to come up In the mean time I have my family tired, but supportive. I'm burn out and exhausted, full of hate against this people who have hurted me without I deserved. I'm sad the most part of the time, nervous, very difficult to enjoy my family and my hobbies. Tired the most part of the time. I wake up sometime at night and started to cry. Very irritable ... I didn't do anything I have worked so hard, I'm a honest person ... My life it shouldn't be like that know |

I too struggle with naming my emotions. I grew up in a house where it wasn't safe to express any emotions and then when I got to college I was but on such a high dose of Paxil that I felt numb to everything. Since then I am now off the Paxil (4 months) and now on Pristiq. So I am still trying to figure out the names of emotions as I have them.

Thank you ~ you seemed to answer my wish! A lot of times, I am overwhelmed by feelings and just don't know what to do what to do. I do have some techniques to make it through...but they don't always work, and I don't know they're real healthy ways of going about it. Perhaps this will help me develop better ways to cope with my emotions.
So, thank you very much Doc John! __________________ "Only in the darkness can you see the stars." - Martin Luther King Jr. "Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness but because you deserve peace." - Author Unkown |

Last night, I had such overwhelming feelings of anger towards everyone. I believe that stress has caused this anger, however this anger dissolved into tears. I did feel better after I had a cry though. But today I still feel like crying I think I'm feeling despair. Does anyone have any advice for me?

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

Just know there are others out there including me that know what you are going through. Hang on to the roller coaster and enjoy the ride as much as you can because the highs are coming back up soon.
