Somewhat frustrated. I suffer from sever anxiety disorder and depression that I am seeing a therapist for, and have had two similar bouts in years past. All in which I was on medication and therapy. For one reason or another cognitively I understand that I have emotions. My problem is that either don't know what they are, or don't understand them enough to recognize they exist. I believe that I may be refusing to deal with my emotions. Can this happen cognitively without me actually making the decision to do so? I WANT to feel again. I WANT to deal with the repressed feelings so I can move forward. It's exhausting not dealing with things and having them continue to bubble up and plague me over the years. I've tried mindfulness to no avail, meditation to no avail. How long do I continue to go TALK to my therapist ABOUT my issues before I learn something to DO about it? Tired of just talking about things. I need to FIX this....to DO something to fix this. Suggestions?

What do you do with repressed feelings? Just feel them and do nothing more.
Never try to "Fix" any thing. Just develop a deeper connection to yourself, and let it be at that! |

Please look at reply I gave to Pkey for 'Deepjournal
Work'. You can also make up the questions to ask self. |

Struggling with this myself Medchemist, I think Thunder Bow hit the nail on the head! Of course, it's easy to say...sometimes I get so frustrated because I feel the need to DO something- ultimately there isn't much I can do except learn from my feelings...

Bledsoe...excellent suggestions as I ironically have tried to begin journaling. It only happens maybe 1 pre week but I am trying nonetheless. The suggestion to not fix myself is rather naive. This is not about acceptance. It is about growing and becoming a better person. Developing a closer connection to my inner feelings is what I want to do. I just don't know how to get there. Furthermore, I don't know where to go in therapy from here. I feel like I only talk about what I want and there is very little about what to do to get there. What do I ask or what should I expect from my therapists this point?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
