Confusion is the word that comes to mind when I think of emotions. When I was younger I didn’t even know what they were. What was the name for each.
Ok, I knew the basic ones. Anger happiness sadness and a few others, but when it’s got deeper than that I got lost. Anxiety is one that can represent itself in a myriad of forms. It can actually affect you physically-who knew. Like a feeling of a heart attack. Scary stuff the first few times it happens. After a while you learn to recognise the symptoms and can learn to cope with it. Or this happened to me. I can now cope quite well with it I feel. I don’t feel like the darkness is crowding in on me trying to crush me into oblivion. There IS light at the end of the tunnel.
