emotions.....05%to 150% in a nanosecond

Post Reply New Topic

most times my emotional level is near zero, and sometimes w/ no reason it skyrockets in a second.lonlyness is not something i feel alot, but it hits me like a mac truck rarely. it just hit me and it is near parilizing, empty hollow feeling i could burst into tears for no reason.

i have a lot of friends and close female friends i can turn to, but thats not it. i belive it is all on the inside w/ no realistic path? i missed out on dating and inasent(SP) love for the most part and a part of me thinks this is a main contrubutor. to hold someone, not for physical interaction, but to feel them as one w/ you. this is a pos. reason but unplausable cus it's not lasting. i won't mope around for long, it passes quickly, but is paralizing when it comes on.

anybody ever feel this way, a unbalanced emotional life? not wanting something most of the time, but paralized by it on rare occaitions?

Repressing your desires and not maintaining a healthy balance will definitely do that to you, I think you just need to have a healthy output instead of trying to force yourself to ignore the fact that you have biological desires.

yes it can....but i don't repress my emotions, just most of the time i don't have them.
what i was saying is the sudden onslot of strong emotions with no real reason. there are times in my life i get emotional for a good reason and i let them flow.

and a better explaination to my youth:
part of my development disorder was non-verbal cues, w/ strong emotional outbursts(also w/ little to no reason)

so as i grow older i did learn more non-verbal cues, but not all of them. so i aquate this as the same development problem, just that i'm getting better at it.

it hit me fast today and subsided in less than an hour, it's not major, just wierd to me

Maybe you aren't aware you are repressing them when you have no emotions, maybe you are repressing them subconciously because you are engaged in an activity or distraction that doesn't require you to think about it, maybe a certain thought process or pattern triggers you to feel this way.

A good way to discern certain moods is to analyze and keep a notebook on you to keep track of what thoughts you are having. Try to discern what thoughts lead you into feeling this way so you can discern them next time.

I can sometimes be overwhelmed by an emotion, even loneliness. I think I know what you are referring to, as I too am generally running at about 5-10% emotional capacity. But when an emotion flares up, it REALLY erupts. It becomes the central foci for all thoughts for a while, and seems inescapable.

I've been suddenly struck by this overwhelming sense of desolation and aloneness, even around other people. It always passes, and I've become fairly adept at speeding through this temporary emotional shift.

My only advice is when it happens, hunker down for the duration, don't allow yourself to act on anything you might get in your head until it passes, sometimes thoughts heavily influenced by emotion can be self destructive or at least ill advised, and you may find you do or say something regrettable. Hunker down, isolate yourself if possible, and weather the storm.
