How can I learn to control my emotions when I don't even know what they are?

Well, you can start by keeping a journal or log of what is going on. The situation, if you can pinpoint specific feelings or physical responses. Then about after a week or longer, re read those entries to gain perspective. You may not necessarily know which emotions they are, but you would atleast know the triggers. When you know the trigger is when you can learn to manage those feelings. This can be done by taking a break and walking away, breathing or thinking of something funny. Of course it all depends on the situation.

It can help to chart how you feel at certain times of the day, and changes that may occur in your mood based on certain situations or people. Once you can connect the changes, you may be able to perceive each individual emotion. While we can all experience emotions, they take place in different ways for each individual . The only person who knows what it feels like, is the person who is experiencing it,

Controlling your emotions is different for everyone. We all have our own tricks and triggers that help us manage how we feel. The key is to find what works for you and keep doing it

Take deep breathes, sleep, and try to list the attributes of how you feel to figure out what emotion it is.

It is important to talk to someone about how you feel. It is important to let someone you trust know how you are feeling so you enable yourself to get the right support you need to get through the situation in a positive and helpful way.

well first you have to start recognizing them, not defning them, making relations between your behaviors and responses and wether you feel or not "good", and after that start to alaze it may help a lot now to describe them along with the situation that caused them i.e: " My teacher screamed at me today for something i wasn´t doing, i felt angry for that". you don't need to define in exact words what happines, or sadness, or frustration, or anger, or any emotion, but to differentiate the in the way you feel them, once you do that you'll begin to understand how your emotions are something natural, there is no way to escape them, but the trick will be to also understand that there is a time and place for everything and that will come along the way of learning about your own emotions.

well, the direct answer to that is to obviously try and figure out what these emotions are. You can do that by asking yourself some questions-- In what situations do you usually feel the need to control these emotions? *What* are you trying to control? Can you try and categorize whatever you are feeling? Is it a positive thing or a negative thing? More often than not, it's either overwhelming anger, sadness, frustration or sometimes, even happiness. But once you can zero in on what's bothering your stability, then you can target that particular emotion and work towards controlling it through counselling, meditation, exercise, yoga, breathing techniques, etc.

Increasing self awareness is one way to control emotions. It's definitely not easy, but easiER to change one's emotions once they are aware of what they're feeling. How to do this? One can see a professional counselor who can assess and explain what you're actually feeling. I personally get more out of researching, reading, and learning about what I'm feeling on my own. Everything from articles, to personal experiences, to psychology and psychiatry textbooks to memoirs. With the internet, all it takes is googling exactly how you feel even though you may not know what you're feeling, and thousands of results pop up. The internet is a valuable resource and should be utilized to the maximum.

It's always helpful to distract yourself from it. Take deep breaths, inhale and exhale consistently. Stay away from all thoughts.

Clear your mind and think logically if there is anything to be upset about. If there's not then distract your mind by taking on an activity until you feel better.
