Some information about Coping with Emotions

these are great.

thanks for posting this thread!

Dear AzulOscuro... I'm also feeling very depressed & low these days, but sadly I don't have anybody to hug, 'cause I'm a hermit, & I don't have dogs or cats here with me either

Honestly, I don't know how I'm getting through these days. But definitely the internet is still holding me to this life

yes this internet keeps me going,especially this forum, i do go to docs appointments and some family functions and grocery store but it is too much for me to handle so my husband does the shopping.

Thank you for Posting this Anger has been a problem for me lately. you have my sincere thanks ~ MissLabarinth

There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause trouble without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood... and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they've never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them... because in truth, I am that monster.

Very good info. ..

I'm glad to see this on here I've always found it hard to cope and even understand my emotions, they get the best of me so often. I'm hoping these will help, thanks!

Yes I also suffer from my emotional feelings.such as loving someone.like my father was never in my life and now he wants to see me.my sistér and brother talk to him daily.but when I was a kid I wanted my father so bad.a really sad feeling.and now I just can't be a part of him cause I can't deal with the emotion of loving him.he's old now and if I love him again I'll never want to let him go cause I can not deal with that emotion.and alot of other emotions in life I just can't deal with,so I try not to put my self in situations where emotions are required.

I made this post in another thread, but I think it may be useful here as well!

The worst thing to do: Lock yourself in your bedroom and stay isolated even when online. I did that a couple of years ago, and it wrecked me as a person. It may be charming of an idea, taking a break, but eventually, your natural instincts kick in, and you know you need environmental and social change.

Best thing to do: Go to a coffee shop (you do not have to order coffee), sit outside with your laptop, and watch the world pass by and type to anyone online. If you are sociable, talk to those around you, as strangers can make the best company sometimes. Listen to music that fits the scenery and cheers you up.

When at home: Open up your windows or at least have it where the sun lifts the atmosphere of your home. Drink something without caffeine in it (caffeine can trigger anxiety and panic attacks), get out of bed, stretch, sit up, and meditate for twenty minutes. Read or watch anything that is fiction-based. Text or call family or friends that you trust and can laugh around with for a few minutes. Again, online is also an option.

When going to bed: Take 3mg to 5mg of Melatonin a few hours before sleep, meditate again, play music again (I suggest binaural sounds to trigger such things as lucid dreaming) or play ASMR videos to distract any negative/depressive thought patterns that may pop up. Prop your pillows, fix your sheets, and spray it with some tea tree and lavender every morning and night. Also, get a fan for extra white noise.

Even as an introvert, there are ways to ease PTSD and Depression. Personally, I am in the middle (or at least all those tests think so), so I can handle some activities with others, but I also enjoy sitting outside and watching nature happen as I live in the mountains. Also, take vitamins/supplements to balance your physical body.

Thank you so much for this
