Yes, I’ve been here. My therapist helped me understand that “processing my emotions” was an active thing that starts with this mindful awareness.

To process my emotions is similar to processing raw materials into a complete product. Identify the parts, cut away what is not useful, discard it in a safe and appropriate manner, take the useful and combine them in ways that help me.

My sadness or anxiety is usually my body trying to tell me I need something. Am I hungry? Need water? Am I lonely? What can these things tell me that is useful?

I’d recommend getting in contact with a professional therapist about this. You’re on the right track with this. Awareness is step one!

“One day, everyone will have always been against this.”

Cool. Now what are we gonna do about it?
