This is tough, I agree. One thing is to try to let yourself off the hook - like don't beat yourself up for not having the word you want. Something that could help is to write like a journal style if you like that. Something to more directly deal with these unnamed feelings could be to draw, color, markers, paint ... sometimes colors help. With paint or crayons you can mix the colors too and that may provide some clarity as to what you are feeling. Mixing provides clarity??? Yeah, I know. Maybe just try it?

Ah, that's really hard. First off, it's really important to understand that even if you can't put words to how you're feeling, it's still really valid. In other words, what you're feeling is real, no matter what. In terms of dealing with it, I have a rather frustrating answer, it takes time, to let those feelings simmer and for you to explore them. It's hard, I'll admit that, but just give it time and try not to get frustrated with yourself.

Find a song, write poetry, make art, do something creative, and let all of your inhibitions go for the sake of feeling good.

Be more patient with them.
There are easy feelings, small feelings, easy to spot.
But there are also complex ones.
Harder to spot, to shape.
Time required is proportional.
More time with more complex feelings.
You need to be aware of the feeling, and stay with it.
Listening to it.
Patiently.
Wait for it to express.
It will.
Eventually.
It will use your mind to show you pictures, scenes, all kinds of stuff.
And the picture will become clearer with time.
And, after clarity comes, you will be at another level.
Understood complex feelings gives you or makes you very rich. One way or another.

Maybe instead of expressing it through words, you can try expressing it through action (such as hugging people you love) or by expressing yourself through art (dance, music, etc,).

Try to express it in another way. People use multitudes of ways to express their feelings and emotions. For example: Writing, Art, Music and dance. I find writing very useful for venting my own feelings. Hope i helped!

Speak to a professional and use any words that come to mind to try and express how you feel. It may be difficult but they are professionally trained to understand people from a few words.

Feelings can also be expressed by composing music or drawing pictures or dancing or other forms of art. Exercise can also help get rid of energy and consequently feelings too. Exercise causes an increase in the neurotransmitter (brain chemical) serotonin, which stabilizes mood.

There are many ways to express feelings without using words. Art for example: abstract or painting or water color or drawing or scribbling or whatever makes you happy. Writing music can also be another creative outlet, and sometimes even if you're not able to express feelings out loud with words writing or journaling is still something that can help. Another thing you can do is try to find the right words to express your feelings. Taking your time to sort through your emotions, identifying what's causing you to feel what and even doing some dictionary research can help you. Talking to someone else can make things more real and help find the right words
