• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I have a really hard time talking about feelings--especially "unpleasant" ones. So, I tend to put on a happy face no matter how I am feeling. I can be a little more honest about my emotions online, but even then, I often have a hard time expressing myself for one reason or another.

For my own experiences personal and professional I have learned several facts and they are:
1- When we are ready to deal with our emotions the body, mind and spirit will go into drive until that happens it is in neutral and it is okay
2- When the mind, body and spirit goes into drive and we force it into neutral we are doing a shaking soda experience. A shaking soda experience is shaking a soda and afterward taking the top off and yes you are right it explodes. The explosion is often on people that was not aimed for but it still got on.
3- Either way it is okay because sooner or later it will come out

Thanks for sharing
