How do u cope with feelings in genereal??What do you do when u know a feeling is hitting you hard and u just want to crush it so it doesn't consume you?? I really need answers..my T. keeps telling me it is alright to have feelings..but why do I keep telling myself no??Why do i stop them??DOes anyone ever feel like if they experience those feelings they will totally break??Like a piece of glass suddenly hitting the floor and shattering into lots of little pieces???that is how I feel if I let myself experience those feelings. Anyway, I just wanted to knw what people thought.

I know what you mean. I find it hard to deal with feelings too, and I also get confused over what emotion I actually am feeling sometimes. You ever get like that?
I'm sorry that I don't have any suggestions to help you deal with it- as soon as I figure it out I'll let you know. Try and keep smiling, and remember that we're all here to help.

That's a good question. I have the hardest time with negative emotions like frustration and rage. What I've been doing to cope is trying not to put myself in a situation where I will feel those emotions. Sometimes it just happens though, and then it's hard. I know that I shouldn't avoid those emotions, but they are completely powerful and overwelming and lead to bad things in my life. Recently, whenever I feel those terrible emotions I roll up in a ball on my bed and just try to tough it out because I know that they'll pass and I don't want to do anything that I'll regret while feeling them.

Sometimes, that's easier said then done though.

love,

Michelle

I remember what that was like....honestly its really hard! I know when I made the reajustment back into feeling things I felt like I was going insane everything- thoughts and feelings- were hitting me so fast and hard, it felt like I was on a rollercoaster.

(I ended up in the hospital for a week...the doctors thought I was trying to SU --it was just a really bad SI episode though) that whole period was just hellish....

But you know....to feel things is to be alive....I'm glad I made the transition....some days are still hard, some weeks I have to grind my teeth, clench my fists and push forward, but its always worth it.

Yeah the negative emotions can hit pretty hard.
I find that I try to distract myself away from what it is thats on my mind..By doing the opposite of what I was doing..So if I was sitting, I'd get up and get out..and vice versa..I find that sometimes eases the thoughts, even if it doesn't make it go away all together, it takes the urge to SI off a little so I can deal with it easier.
