Poll Do You Find It Difficult To Talk About How You Feel?

[Privateer]

I don't find it difficult, when I want to, but I usually choose not to. Going around letting people know what you're feeling all the time is a bad move.

It's a conscious decision, the same as not taking all my clothes off in front of people: I could, but there would be consequences, so I don't.

There's a time and a place for feelings, same as everything else.

I quite like this analogy, ptsd is the sartorial equivalent of streaking around in a thong at a dinner party then hiding in an overcoat in a steam room!

I have no problem with expressing myself because of having been through so much since childhood, I have low
expectations on being accepted by others, if they do accept me, then it is great, but otherwise, I no longer care so
much. I realize that many people will never come close to understanding how I think or what I am like.

It's pretty odd for me to come here with this post "reading my mind" or the verse granting me welcome. But what is not odd about me. Im an Aquarius. I thought mostly people had a hard time talking to me. I'm starting to realize I have a hard time talking to people in general. I thought via the net I was mr talkative. Now I see, most of it is me. It really sucks when your in a relationship and you can't risk explaining your emotions.So I just found out I have PTSD from a relationship I was in / may still be in. As An Aquarius with a Scorpio Moon, I thought I was done with this, all of my past. But I guess not, so I have been studying this thing for a year, and I sure do have it! New Years anxiety just because I am going to do something I do every year, but should not BE so needlessly emotionally striking. Actually realizing I have PTSD made any anxiety I had, even worse, because now Im judging my anxiety. Hmm I had to take a shower to chill out, and calm myself down. I'm glad it helped, felt nice and womb like, I could feel all my stress leaving with the water, I just say in the shower. And it helped it immensely. I'm tripping... At least I made a profile and will have fun letting some therapist get to know me in 2016.



Thanks mom and dad.

Lately, emotions are pouring out of every part of my body. Anger, sadness, rage, guilt, helplessness, hopelessness and the list goes on and on.

I feel like I'm going to implode.
