Struggling to Connect with My Emotions

absolutely i feel like this, i feel a little obsessed with dark things in literature or music… those types of things can make me feel more when i’m having trouble connecting or acting like a robot

I struggle to express my thoughts and feelings when experiencing unwanted emotions. Instead, it's as if I'm numb and emotionless.

I can't get myself to acknowledge those strong emotions. I see them when they're there but they don't get close enough.

for me, if i’m sad, i let myself be sad. there’s no reason to fight it. sometimes i even feel better after just letting all of my emotions flood over me. i would say the best thing is would be to acknowledge what is happening at that moment and try just let it happen. it may suck in the moment, but it’s not going to last forever. this too shall pass
