I hate emotions. How do I cope with them.
I found with time April 12th is 10 years for me ,and im an emotional 
person period so i let it out. I cry i yell i beat my drums to death but being alone i find is the hardest thing if u have a good person who is there for u not with sum egenda but will listen it helps and it gets easier takes a long time for your system to start producing all that halpy juice it got so easy but it will come back..and with mental health education is always better then medication 
in my opinion and my own experiences on ssri's and other seizure causes drugs that made being sad sound great. Keep ur chin up. It will get easier and u have already done the hard part so just stay positive i know its hard with no dopamine naturally but it gets better. Doing research and learning about how, what,why,when and where is new with mental health hells me if u understand why u feel the way u do its easier to talk yourself down from the panic because its not u or ur fault

Through my recovery I've learned that all emotions are valid. There's a reason why you are feeling the way you are feeling and learning how to indentify the reason was crucial for me. I learned how to turn anger into positive energy - go for a run or do some pushups or something. Being sad is a good feeling to have for me because it taught me that when I feel that way I can actually open up and be vulnerable and talk with people I care about and let them know how I really feel, honestly… and just talking through it makes me feel better. I learned not to discredit my emotions and accept them and try to find ways to use them positively. I still struggle with that but I put up reminders and quotes everywhere that remind me to breathe and so on. “Happiness is a choice, so is suffering.”

Hey guys, thank you both very valid points. To be honest I want to stop the drinking. I dont do well with pills so I am trying to find a better way to be my usual happy go luckys self. I hide it well usually but others are starting to see I'm not doing well. Nor is it a topic I want to talk about at work. I tried some desert today at work and didnt know it had coffee liquor in it. I about had a panic attack. I have bad anxiety as is but that's usually where the drinking comes in. Aso I bottle my emotions typically so the fact that I cant help them at home and now almost at work. I dont know what to do. Today I was in the shower taking me a long one to reflect like always. I thought to my self I just dont want to feel.
