What to do

[amerie]

Lately I've been stuck I don't know if I'm happy sad depressed or angry I usually know what I'm feeling but its as if I just stare into space and thinking I don't even know of what its like I'm just somewhere else of this earth will this pass ?

I think yes.

But from my experience it can take all varying degrees of time and anything can either pull you out of it or send you back into it.

Focusing on happy things tends to take me out of it.

Been there many times. It passes and then can hit again. I do it when I get overwhelmed... Either by external circumstances (stress at work) or by too many emotions at once or feeling them too strongly. I'm thankful mine is intermittent and I can usually break out of it fairly quickly.

I have also been in this place and for me it has passed. For me writing and keeping on writing has been important especially when I'm stuck and don't seem to be able to go anywhere. In my writing I have dug myself out of the deepest holes there are. I'd encourage you even if you've never been journaling to give it a go. Don't hold back if things are f$&@en awful then write that! Then explore on paper why they are like that or what has bought you into this place. I'd also very much encourage you to share your writings with a therapist. For me writing and not sharing it is liek keeping the secret and I don't want to do this anymore. I did it for so many years without sharing it that I know it's a move in the healing direction to share it.
