Emotions. Where do I start? I've been a bit stressed lately and not getting quite the amount of sleep I need. And that makes me emotional. The problem is I don't know what to do with these emotions.
Frankly, I want these emotions to go away. If I could ask anybody one thing it would be - what steps do I need to take to make these feelings go away as quickly as possible? Its uncomfortable. I don't like it. Tears sting my eyes and I think - why the hell am I crying?
Logically, I know why I'm upset. There are a few too many things in my life at the moment that are out of my control. And not knowing what the future holds is upsetting. My natural instinct is to hide and show my emotions to no one. I want to pretend to the outside world that everything is fine and that I'm coping well.
I'm curious to know - what do typical people do to cope with emotions? Do you cry it out? Do you turn to a friend for support? And how do you know who to trust with your feelings? Personally, I'd like to see a 5 step process to get your emotions under control. Can somebody write a book about that please?!?
My natural instinct is to analyze and try to rid myself of these uncomfortable feelings as quickly as possible. I know with the time the emotion will pass and I will be back to my analytical and logical self. But I'd like to know what coping strategies most people use to get through it.
Right now to get through it, I'm focusing my thoughts on Goa in a couple weeks. Traveling is my happy place. Its the only time where I can truly be myself and feel genuinely happy. I'm hoping my travel break in a couple weeks will help me cope a little better with life's unexpected.

What do you do to help you through those emotional times in your life?
Dear Emily,
ReplyDeleteI'm not trying to help you because you don't need help.You are great the way you are. I just felt like writing something,so..
Step1: Don't try to control your emotion:
If you feel like crying, then cry.There is nothing wrong in being emotional at times.There is no right way to live life.Live your way.
Step2: Live like a free soul:
You are not here to earn acceptance from society.Believe in your way, your style.If society doesn't accept that, that's their prob.
Again..LIVE YOUR WAY,YOUR STYLE.There is no right or wrong way of living.LIVE FREE.
