For me, when I have a hard time expressing exactly what I'm feeling, I try and talk around the situation in general. I try and figure what's making me feel the way I do, whether I have a word for what I'm feeling or not. It helps you identify your problem, and it's a good way to reason out your feelings.

I'm not the type to express my emotions in person because I'm always worried about offending and/or hurting the person. Therefore, I find it really difficult to say words that are on my mind. Recently, I decided to write my thoughts on a journal and my friend often suggested that even when I'm afraid, it's best to be honest to the person and tell him/her what bothers me, especially if that individual is important to me. I would like to point out that the words we want to say to someone never comes out the exact same way. But at the end of the day, what matters is the fact that you can step up and be honest to the person you care about. I would strongly suggest not to think ahead of time and just go with the flow.

You don't always need to express your feelings with words. Based on my own experience, when I want to deal with feelings which has made me speechless I'd express them physically. Either it's exercising, singing, dancing, or eating. Somewhere in the middle of it I'll finally comprehend what I'm really feeling.

Take a sheet of paper or start a diary. Every time you feel worse, type down everything is in your mind, everything you feel right at the moment: thoughts, sensations, physical symptoms. You will be able to understand more clearly what is going on in your mind when you will have it written on a paper.

Breathe consciously. Feel my feet on the ground. Ask myself a few questions: Is this a familiar feeling? When did I notice it? Right now, what do I need? Who do I wish was here? By asking these questions I am turning my attention to what I need and value at the moment. The feelings I experience will likely become clearer, or more managable when my basic needs are being met.

Sometimes dealing with feelings is just very hard. I've had this thing that crying is the best, but only for beginning, I'd say. NEVER, ever keep it for yourself please. Try to write your problems, don't find the right words, but write something very random just to put it on paper, as you write the right words will come. Hug someone. People know that when you don't have words to express your sadness you only hug them and they instantly know to say ''Are you better?'' and you will feel save and secure. You don't need to talk, because when you ask for help and talk with someone and you really don't know what is happening and how to explain it, you will be asked question that will bring the right words and picture of the event.

I spent my whole life trying to articulate what I was feeling. Thus, I read books, watched films, researched numerous articles, and talked to many people to see how others expressed themselves. I learned something in the process; they all learned to use language to their advantage and had a high level of self-awareness.

Such feelings remain hidden in your sub conscious mind. They start to affect your day to day life and you feel anger/hatred/fear and other emotions even when situation does not require you to act in this way. Always ask your self why you feel this way, what do you want at the moment, what can help you right now and what will make it worse. Look inside and keep looking for answers. Express yourself through sports, art, etc.

I understand sometimes you come across a vast number of feelings and emotions at the same time and it can seem hard to put it into words. What usually helps me is journaling them or writing them down [maybe as a letter that you can share with the person concerned].

There are many different ways to express your feelings. I often express my feelings through impromptu dancing or painting. Often if i need to identify my feelings ill go spend time in nature and clear my head from lifes everyday turmoil.

Try writing them down, writing always helped me. Put yourself into another person (someone fake's) shoes. Use them to tell your story, your feelings will eventually come out through the words you've written.
