Emotion of the day

[Heather Shay]

Being our lives are determined so deeply by our emotions and all my life I compartmentalized my emotions to the point of not feeling, I think it might be good to discuss what each emotion is and help you develop asking yourself what you are feeling beside  good or bad, so you can decide what to do with the emotion. Among emotions are:

• Admiration
• Adoration
• Aesthetic Appreciation
• Amusement
• Anger
• Anxiety
• Awe
• Awkwardness
• Boredom
• Calmness
• Confusion
• Craving
• Disgust
• Empathetic pain
• Entrancement
• Excitement
• Fear
• Horror
• Interest
• Joy
• Nostalgia
• Relief
• Romance
• Sadness
• Satisfaction
• Sexual desire
• Surprise

You've described my resting state

[LaurenA]

I woke up today feeling sad and started crying for no apparent reason.  There is no reason I should be sad.  In fact I should be happy since I'm going to an appointment with the doctor doing my FFS.  I tried calling my therapist but she was busy.  I don't understand it.  I've taken all of my meds so that isn't the problem.  I have no clue what is the problem.  I'll be driving into Chicago and I'm worried that my state of mind is going to affect my driving.

It's alright to just be sad sometimes. It happens. If you need to talk lmk ❤️

Well I crave romance even though now I should live for me. The hormones have me feeling the want to be desired and appreciated. I have crashed and burned more times than I can even count. I know she is out there and give it time but it still doesn't change how I feel. I know what it feels like to be on your own. There are pluses and minuses but to be able to cuddle with someone's arms around me would be amazing. I would love to be the little spoon. I have always been jealous of romantic movies of how every single time they always connect with someone except the "Break Up" but that in itself is already in the title so you know what to expect. I could easily go on and on about how much I crave about it but it's not going to do anything.

In conventional usage, boredom, ennui, or tedium is an emotional and occasionally psychological state experienced when an individual is left without anything in particular to do, is listless and dissatisfied due to a lack of occupation or excitement, is not interested in their surroundings, or feels that a day or period is dull or tedious. It is also understood by scholars as a modern phenomenon which has a cultural dimension. "There is no universally accepted definition of boredom. But whatever it is, researchers argue, it is not simply another name for depression or apathy. It seems to be a specific mental state that people find unpleasant—a lack of stimulation that leaves them craving relief, with a host of behavioral, medical and social consequences." According to BBC News, boredom "...can be a dangerous and disruptive state of mind that damages your health"; yet research "...suggest[s] that without boredom we couldn't achieve our creative feats.
