Ashamed of feeling emotions

greenEyes2019 May 25th, 2019

Hello all,

Has anyone ever experienced being ashamed of their own emotions and expressing them?

Mood disorder has made me numb and weary, but on some occasions I have a breakdown when I cry. At times like that, I tend to spoil relationships and nights out with friends. And even though I do want to apologise and admit that I have a mood problem feeling a certain way I end up experiencing huge shame inside and not telling how I feel.

I can even feel shame when I'm on my own, and when I experience some emotion, I feel very ashamed of it just in front of myself. I'd like to dissociate myself from me and my thoughts, but surely it is impossible.

Have you experienced anything similar?

@greenEyes2019 it's called being human, humans have emotions...

@greenEyes2019 I do feel like that too. I never breakdown though, because when I did in the past I felt really ashamed of it after. I also can't talk about my emotions normally, I either 'breakdown' (but then I feel like crying for something in front of people is breaking down...) or I seem completely emotionless. I also feel very stupid writing this lol.
