Any advices of how to accept your negative emotions ? ( not necessarily emotions from the intrusive thoughts) I feel like I dont accept my emotions and pretend to be fine but it makes me angry and irritated and I feel like I should pretend to feel awesome cause nobody cares anyway or some people care but they have their problems to care about so they dont pay attention cause like idea of having friends is just to have fun. I hope it makes sense .

That's clever realization cause I do feel like I dwell on them :p

@Jamarceline That’s good you’re aware of that. That means you can make the effort to change it. Whenever you feel sad, acknowledge that you feel sad and move on, because no feeling lasts forever. Everyone gets happy everyone gets sad. But it is a choice to dwell and let it affect us personally

@cam332179 Thanks! Ill accept emotions and respect them and move on. I think it might be a rumination maybe . . I dunno

Yep exactly :(

@Jamarceline I’m still learning the best ways to regulate my emotions, too. I swing from stuffing/faking to going berserk and yelling/throwing. I’ve actually had several friends and family members who have told me, “Call anytime.” My Mind lies to me, tells me they don’t mean that and don’t want to mess with me. I have to remind myself to trust that my friends/family mean what they say, that they know what they’re willing to do more than my own mind knows what they’re willing to do. Do you have friends/family who have told you “Call me anytime”?

@Alyosha Yeah I have one friend saying I can call her anytime but I feel like I dont wanna interrupt her and like she didn't mean it or it will be too overwhelming for her. I think I learned this thinking from family cause my family is completely unreliable. Unreliable in a meaning that they often change their mind , they like to gossip and they say they will do something but they forget about it or they will postpone it forever( it happens so often in my family that I completely dont anything positive in dealing with my family) I experience same emotions. Like recently I was crying cause some old man security worker didn't want to let me in to the Bank cause I didn't have my mask on .I mean he was a bit rude but he wasnt rude enough to cry about it ... but I did read that noone cries without reason or noone is angry with no reason and all we have do is accepting emotions and find the source of emotion and sort it out
