How do you deal with negative emotions?

.


  • Kendo masters philosophy

    Whenever I was troubled about something, he’d always tell me the same thing; “Let it flow through you, like the wind through the willow tree.” It has always worked, no counting to ten, no splitting skulls open, just forget it happened and move on.

  • Jot it down

    Write about it. That’s always been my anger and depression vent. If I need to talk to someone, and no one is there, the paper is. Just write it down. If you hate what you had to write, tear it up. IT FEELS A LOT BETTER—trust me

  • i let them...

    i let them boil and seethe within me until i explode and take others down with me….i hide all my emotions and when they do come out i hit everything in my path…which is usually walls and lockers but it has been people before and i left blood everywhere i went. i cannot deal with strong emotions and i don’t know why…i also cannot grieve.

  • I love God above all

    I love God above all. He will never let me down. He loves me and will always be there for me. He is my hero. No man can fill his shoes, as no man is capable of His perfection. Thus, as I am weak I realize the weaknesses of all mankind. I’m as much in need of love forgiveness as anyone. If I can’t even perfect the smallest of things how can I expect perfection from anyone else. Consequently, I will look for the good in everyone in spite of any flaws and I will draw my pleasure from each ones unique qualities of goodness. I will accept my weaknesses and look forward to all life has to offer me. I compete with no one but myself to better my own abilities. I’m truly happy for everyones successes and achievements as they are their personal gifts from God. I accept Gods will for me while I’m here on earth whatever that may be. In the mean time I be happy, always. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

  • Meh...

    For me, I like to feel ALL of my emotions, to their most reactive and chaotic states. Sometimes, I like to feel sad. You know? I’s great to be happy, but being sad isn’t that terrible. I kind of want to feel everything, not be numbed by medication or god.

  • Little Balls are Good

    I work in a profession where I am expected to take all emotion and mash it into a little ball, eat it, and let it sit in my stomach and fester until it gives me unhappy black farts…and that’s where my anger goes.

  • Run with emtions

    oh heck i love my positive emotions just as much as i do my negative but that is just me if i gonna have a bad emotional day heck i gonna make it a good one for i believe in the balance of good and bad u have to have the bad to appeciate and know the good so heck i go with the flow after all they are mine and i do understand them so well, and if having a bad emotional day i take it out on the ones who can not tolerate the truth always makes me feel better to use wisdom and knowledge who knows it may just turn to positive from the negative without anyone getting hurt from a little knowledge and learning

  • Do What You Know is Right

    because to get negative emotions, you’ve had to have been screwing up somehow- not enough sleep to foresee problems coming, poor diet, not enough exercize, finishing work before play, and habit after habit that if broken can do us in…

  • Patience

    I also write about it on paper. It gives you a chance to take a second look at bad situations. It gives me a chance to accept responsibility for myself. It helps me to deal with others too.

    people tell me they have to get this off their chest and i ask why the heck would rest anything their. Dismiss, forget and know, that you are more then capable of solving any problem that comes your way.but if now is not the time to solve it. then you will enjoy the present like it should be enjoyed. Don’t then after accomplishing such tasks reflect on how terrible it was but how great you did. peace love and happiness

  • Simple. Work them Out

    I live my negative emotions to their hilt, just excercising a little control in taking care that i be alone and dont do anything destructive. I just live out the destruction in my mind and pooh…befor i know it, the emotion is gone. Or i write a poem. Simple.

  • I embrace them.

    Negative emotions are just that, emotions, and we have them for a reason. If your mad get mad and take that anger out on something. Now I'm not advicating beating your wife and kids. I'm saying get out and throw a base ball or go to the batting range. Hit a heavy bag for a while. Take that agression out on something and purge yourself of it. As far as depression is concerned the best thing I have found if you don't want to go to the docter and get drugged up, kill your liver, lose the function of your penis, and become a zombie that doesn't care about ANYTHING, Watch, listen to, or read something that will make you laugh. People seriously under estimate the healing power of laughter. It's got me through my crappy life all of these years.

  • Good punch can save the day

    Hmmm... Let bad emotions out, don't have to do it in public, don't have to cry. Do something productive. Punch the wall. Great stuff. Gets anger out in a flash. If that is not good enough hit your opposite arm. A good punch can just about save you from a ruined day. If even that doesn't work, write and feel free to use any cursing words you know. Then listen to some heavy rock or metal. Works 100% of the time. Though anger is still there it is simply anegr of a memory, that is not as hard as the real thing.

  • No one can tell you how to react

    Some of these opinions are good ones, and some i disagree with. I do not think that physical aggression can trully help solve a problem that causes negative emotion. Yes, you do have to embrace the emotion, but hurting others in the meantime does not help. Writing has always been a prefered method of mine. Talking it out can also help. And like one person mentioned, laughter is probably the best cure. If i am upset i call my friend, tell her not to bother asking me what is wrong, just to talk to me, and she makes me feel better within seconds. Its not a matter of someone telling you how to deal with your negative emotions, its a method of experimenting and finding the best way to deal with them.

    And this is where my hypocricy comes in: My way of dealing, I lock everything inside of me.

  • Anger turns to pity

    If you anger me; I am human. If God guides me; the anger is replaced, with the pity I feel, for those who do not understand. If you die on me and I am mournful; this is a good thing. Mourning ones death is not sadness. If I am depressed; then there is something seriously wrong and I must find the reason for it. It is much easier with Gods guidance for such an acute disfunction. If I am a Christian, by Gods standard; I am never ever depressed and never experience emotional trauma.

    have a rightious anger
    have pity, not sadness
    mourn, but do not dwell there
    experience joy, in between the happiness
