In the past few days I've been feeling VERY emotional - mostly sad and remorseful as the wounds of my broken heart, which had been healing quite nicely, have suddenly opened up anew. I'm thinking it may have something to do with Neptune going direct this week as well as possibly an effect of the upcoming Lunar Eclipse. I was wondering if anyone else has been feeling very emotional these days.

I've been struggling with depression on andoff for the last month and especially this past week, which for me is chemical/physiological + psychological. And while i'm not more emotional than I normally am, it does make my emotions more negative, more burdening and more difficult to deal with. Over the weekend, I felt like crying but couldn't, or felt like I had been crying alot yet hadn't been. You know, that awful drained, gutted feeling you get when things are just bleak and you can't seen anything good around you. I don't feel that bleak right now, but I'm still pretty depressed - it's like I'm on auto-pilot and I'm kind of numb and my thoughts are fuzzy and scattered. I noticed today while typing my posts on various forums, I was making more typos than usual - a sign that my brain chemical are out of whack. I wanted to exercise today, which was a good sign, but it was raining so much and I just got over a throat infection, I didn't want to risk getting sick again. Maybe tomorrow. Exercise helps me a lot. IP: Logged |

I'd swear this magnetic polar shift in our earth is making everyone feel just "off". I wrote more about it in another thread. EVERYONE is feeling the same thing. And I mentioned that observation of people being on "automatic" - you know - it's all synchronized, not like I'm making some huge revelation. Gemini Nymph - I know what you mean about that feeling of "crying". Try to cry. They say whatever you hide from yourself can end up controlling you. Try to dig deep and let it out. It will be healing. Doctor's orders! IP: Logged |

Thanks Aj. But it's not really emotions that are pent up - it's imbalanced chemicals that make me feel like that. That's one of the things with chronic depression - we may cry, or feel like crying, but it's not about anything specific or even real. If anything, it's anger that gets pent up when I'm depressed, because I hate being depressed and I get mad at myself, so I try to "visualize" my anger so I can deal with it. However, I do try to cry when I feel like that because soemtimes the act of crying helps release the right chemical in the brain to make me feel better. But this weekend I just couldn't. I had that feeling like if you've cried alot, yet still feel awful, but you simply can't cry anymore - that's what it felt like all weekend, except I hadn't been able to actually cry. I'm slowly coming out of it - it's like coming out of a fog as the chemicals balance themselves out in my brain. I tend to get insomnia when I'm depressed and I was finally able to get a good night's sleep last night, which helped. IP: Logged |

Yes, it's a scientific fact that when you cry, the chemicals in your tears VARY depending on why you are crying. So that pain tears have a different chemical composition than happy tears, etc.Sad and pain tears remove certain toxins from your body ... yes, all true ... IP: Logged |

GN, have you tried Ambien for insomnia? It is a non-narcotic sleep aid and you don't feel hung over the following day. I highly recommend it. When I began reading your post, immediately the thought occured to me "she needs excercise"..then scrolled to find your comment. GN, is your moon prominent in your chart? Pisces, correct? Have you ever considered creating a journal or calendar to study which sign the moon is in during your lowest lows? I've done this (loosely) with my handy llewellyn's moon almanac, and found a way to anticipate when i'm more likely to suffer. It is remarkable how the moon affects me. I'm still learning, but just a thought. IP: Logged |

Sad and pain tears release toxins... I must be pretty darned toxin free! Wonder if I could pass a UA? Seriously though... Do you suppose the same is true for happy tears? IP: Logged | |
