You know that feeling when all your emotions build up inside yourself and you get so worked up that your ready to explode? Your ready to punch, swear, scream, do something you're going to regret just to get rid of it.... And then you feel worse in a different kind if way... Behind every bad feeling, there are two ways to deal with it so it will go away. 1. (Maybe it's the easy way, maybe it's the hard way, I'm not sure!) Indulge in the emotion - scream, relieve the inner pain, hurt yourself, eat too much, throw up, do anything that will make you feel better - for the next couple of hours. It might relieve the pain temporarily, but it's not going to cure it, and your going to feel it again in the future. You end up in a hamster wheel of build up, guilt, and indulgence. It's not that good, as you'll know. 2. Sooo much harder.... But so much better. Find. The. Cause. You feel angry? Then find what made you angry and put a stop to it. Retrace your steps - maybe it's through the past day, week, month, or year. What triggered those feelings in you? Is it when you get into a conversation about homework with your mum? Try to avoid getting into it, or work out a new way you can react without getting into an argument. Because someone's bullying you? Think about what exactly they say that makes you angry. Find a way to reframe it. They are unhappy about themselves perhaps, so their jealousy takes a form of hateful words. It's not easy, and I'm not trying to tell you that it is. But for every painful feeling.. There is a cause. I promise you there is. And that cause might have been planted by you or it might have been planted by someone else. If you can try and figure out what it is, as though it's a weed growing inside of you, you can work on pulling it out.....
