Wasn't entirely sure which subforum to post this in, but upon realizing that I figured that must mean it would be best put in Offtopic, so here we are.
Anyways recently I have noticed that properly identifying what exactly I'm feeling has become more difficult. I will be experiencing an emotion that I do not know what to call, and I am not sure what to do in response to feeling it, so I will usually just continue to sit wherever I am and allow it to continue.
Most of today I was feeling something that was like a kind of grating, grinding feeling. Most of the time it was unpleasant and I didn't like it, and other times it was unpleasant and I kind of enjoyed it for whatever reason. Overall, though, I didn't like feeling this way. I spent a lot of time thinking about my life trajectory and that it would likely end up in me feeling negatively, but I wasn't really sure how to feel about how I would feel in the future, which only led to a further grinding, burning feeling in my head/chest. It feels like trying to climb over something that's hot and sharp almost.
Another thing that can make identifying my feelings difficult is what I assume is some unwillingness on my part to align my current actions with future desires, and also seeing that future desires I may have are unrealistic or likely not to work out. I'm not sure if I should come to decide what my actual wants are by analyzing my behavior or listening to my literal thoughts about what I want/don't want.
Now I'm just sitting in my room, and thankfully it has subsided.
Do you guys ever have trouble identifying how you're feeling? Or can you relate? I'm interested to hear.
