the hardest for you to handle; fear, anger, sorrow, joy or confusion?

I have thought this over, Suz. Considering the fact that I am always in a state of confusion, I should be accustomed to it:) But, nope! I just get more
Jan I would be angry too! Sometimes it harder for us
to take the punishment then them!! If she was not being
punished she would be out thus you would not have to deal with
her! But if she WAS out she'd not doubt be getting into MORE
TROUBLE!! TOUGH ONE JAN! You are doing the right thing!
There seems to be little appreciation expressed from teenagers
I have no idea where all those little cuties we played with and hugged
went!!
Suz good question- I have thought about this a lot today!
I feel my issue is ANGER-
I suppose as a child raised by an abusive father and a passive mother
would indeed cause some anger! I was not ALLOWED to show emotion!
Sooooooo all that went inside and turned into fear and panic---
I am still angry and thus the anxiety. Meds, therapy and hypnosis
can only do so much! It is the pain deep inside that I pray to
end! My anxiety makes me question myself my decisions and my choices!
I become so confused and usually end up doing what please others---
HO HUM!! Not doing very well on that front! GB you both! Judy
this is a great question Suz, really gives you something to think about. fear is a definitely an emotion that is difficult for me to deal with, as I imagine is the case for many anxious people. Even though i've had anxiety practically my entire life, I still don't know how to deal with my fears, particularly my fear of disease and dying. I think it's especially hard, because death is the only inevitable thing about life and it's SO difficult not to think about it.
confusion is another trigger for me. I noticed that everytime before I have a panic attack Im not a state in which i feel out of control with my decisions and options in life. I constantly make decisions that will please other people, because I can't figure out what it is I want. my family and friends always tell me that I have a tendency to always think that what i already have isn't good enough, but I think it's because im usually disappointed in the decisions I make. It's interesting because I was just reading some reasearch about the impact bias, which is our tendency to over estimate our affective responses to future events as well as the endurance of the response. in other words, we always think we will be more happy and for long than we actually are. Most people learn to accept this, but I think I still get disappointed everytime I don't feel as happy as I thought I would.
Anyway, I hope that makes sense,
Mia
Blessings, Suz
