Feelings
Posted On: 06/15/2009 15:01:41

Feelings what exactly are they?  Where do they come from?  And why do I need them?  Those are the questions that I am pondering today.  I have spent the better part of ten years trying not to feel them now it is like a volcano of emotions just waiting to erupt.  I don't know if I should let them go and erupt or try to keep them barried.  If anybody has any advice please let me know what you think.  My counselor is trying to get me to move on and move out soon, but I think it is way too soon to go back out into that real world.  I am not ready to live in an unstructured enviroment.  Just a lot of things going through my mind at this moment need a placee to vent and this here blog is what I am using at this moment.  I just wish it was easier for me to talk about what I am feeling.  I always hold things in and that is not good for me I need to let go of all that s**t.  If you have read this far you must be a very patient and understanding individual.  May GOD be with you all on your journey.  With Peace Trent.

Feelings erupt as you noted- at first they seem to be in an indistinguishable

mass...Then as you start to pay attention, you may see how they often come in

a group...

For me- anger, fear and sadness might as well be on the same fishing line.

My anger covered  fear, which covered sadness... peace, contentment and serenity

seem to hang with joy and graitude- BUT none of my feelings are far removed

from polar opposites-!

I found one day how- joy is literally a breath away from

sadness.  (I can reach out and touch / choose, either one.)

Unfortunately  first I have to accept and be willing, to stay with each string.

I feel like I'm drowning at times- yet I do not. I stand, sit, hold, which ever piece

is flaring up and wait...All becomes clear- and the origin shows itself...The

Bogeyman is a sham- the dragon eases its' fire- But it is a process!

Time takes time- and determination.  'Courage is fear that has said its prayers'

I dare you to tackle your feelings- it is so worth the journey....Nia

Feelings are just that . Nothing factual, just how one happens to feel - emotional results of the reactions to your environment and physical balance. As far as needing them - life would get rather dull without them. Downright boring. Dealing with them is something one learns - by dealing with them.


    Learing how to deal with them takes a bit of time - but living in a cage will never allow you to learn. If you are waiting until you are ready to handle every and any thing - forget that. It ain't gonna happen. You'll feel like a "stranger in a strange land" for a bit, but dealing with life on life's terms cannot be learned in a structured environment. Anger, fear, sadness, joy are but emotional tools we have for dealing with life. It takes practice, my friend...


Take care,


Dennis

Feelings are a natuural occurrence as you know. You can deal with them in a healthy way or stuff, and as you noted, if you stuff you will eventually explode. Addictions are a disease of feelings not dealt with. They are the trigger.

There was a song called "Big Boys Don'T Cry". Nothing could be further from the truth. Real men know when to cry, and cry without shame. Let them out and start to get better. Stuffing your feelings will kill you!    luv
