Feelings

[gilana]

Do you ever have to diagnose your feelings from symptoms, rather than just experiencing them in the moment? "Oh look, I'm crying. I must feel sad." "Tense muscles, urge to throw things, everyone around me is really annoying... either I need to eat something, or else I'm angry." Somehow it seems like I ought to know what I'm feeling more easily than that, but I guess it's better than ignoring feelings entirely.
