i feel like i should be sad in a certain way.

i dont know if this makes sense, but i feel like i police my own feelings until im all stuck up inside. i know that with my problems i should probably be crying all the time and look sad, but as far as i can tell i dont look different on the outside. so no one can tell that i am sad. it doesnt help that i am prone to drop jokes and stuff. i feel like i would do loterally anything but express my real feelings outright in real life.

i feel very emotionally blocked. it all feels like im feeling things the wrong way, like no one will sympathize with me because im not hysterical and crying, even though i feel hysterical inside.

@medley707 it's not weird, I can relate too about the difficulties with expressing and gaslighting self into invalidating the emotions

You don't need to be sad a certain way tho, any way you do and any emotion you feel is valid 💕 does it help a little to share in cups? in comparison to off cups? I find it more comfy here relatively.

@medley707 Listener Here. It can be very difficult to express your emotions and feelings, especially when you feel like others might not understand or relate to them. From what you are writing, it sounds like you are feeling trapped and blocked, which can be very overwhelming and isolating. It's important to remember that everyone processes emotions differently, and there's no right or wrong way to do it. It takes courage to be vulnerable and share what's going on inside, but it can also lead to healing. Please take care of yourself and don't hesitate to reach out for support if you need it.
