How To Deal With My Feelings

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I feel like I'm suffocating in my feelings.
Outside there I have to wear this mask that makes me appear happier but alone I take off the mask.
Sometimes I just snap at people thats why I prefer to be alone.They don't know about this mental illness I have so I'd rather carry this burden alone.😢

Acknowledge your feelings as being your reality at that stage. Trying to open up to someone close about your true feelings. They may try to show compassion and empathy by convincing you to look at life differently but try to open up by saying you are sharing to exhale and not looking for a solution at the moment from them.

Better Together podcasts are a group of different women that share their experiences in life and how they felt. Listening to such podcasts helps in validating your feelings and then feel able to exhale them.

Once you are able to acknowledge and exhale your feelings it feels like a load off and they start not to bother too much and they then don't dominate your mind.

All the best

It is an on and off again life we live. Trying to stay on top and be balanced is a lot to deal with.

I've always felt that way. Put on the "fake" smile and pretend everything is just great! I honestly don't know how to change it. Hugs sweetheart

I think we are all the same in the society we live in. We have a mask, we have another face. It's a way of life for us all. Society is too big,too meaningless, too material for me
