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.

Expressing feelings with words can be hard sometimes. When we don't know exactly the way we feel. You don't necessarly have to put your feeings into words.

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.
