Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
'feelings ' is a funny word for me i dont understand my own feelings its like i dont no what they are or what the mean. i do its just i dont no how they feel.
Love, joy, happiness, peace, etc., all the emotions that make the heart soften and open fall under the category of expansion.
Fear, anger, hate, loneliness, etc., all the emotions that make the heart closed off fall under the category of contraction.
Without too much thinking about it you can usually feel in your body whether the emotion you are feeling makes your heart expand or contract. If it's an expansion feeling, no need to do anything, just enjoy the ride. If it's a contraction feeling, without having to name the emotion precisely, you can visualize the heart actually softening, glowing, expanding, sending waves of light and energy outward and get yourself into a better space this way. I have tried it several times and it works for me.
