Why does everyone tell me to hide my feelings (I suffer from depression, anxiety, and PTSD)?
I don't know the people you are referring to, but from my clinical work I can tell you some of the common reasons people might say that (most of these would relate to parents who tell their children to hide their feelings or clients who themselves believe that they should do so):They had parents who told them the same thing (this is often related to culture or generation).They feel very disturbed by unpleasant emotions in others, and don't know how to handle them, so would prefer not to be confronted by them.They associate revealing one's emotions with being weak.They think that if unpleasant emotions get too much attention from others they will become reinforced and stronger.They have had lots of experiences that taught them that sharing their emotions with others isn't safe, and they don't want you to get hurt as they have been hurt.

Below are the points to kill depression and anxiety at zero level.1- You are a good human being and always be like that..Don't change yourself just because what other think....2- Go into the logic and then believe ..Means don't believe in anything just because it was happening in past.3-And nothing is bad in this world only your your thinking makes that good or Bad4- Try to build confidence and start this slowly.5- Don't be hesitate too much ..Do open talk and discuss then only you will come to an resolution.6- And most important ..You must have someone in your life with whom you can discuss anything worst to worst or bad to bad.7- To take advice from multiple people is dangerous...

Why cant i think straight and feel so confused?
i can't think straight lately somedays things are clear while other days things just are one big fuzz in my head. somtimes ill sit places like my bed during the day and i just sit there for ages. Sometimes i dont know whats going on around me, and ill be talking but not realize what im saying until i think. I get distracted easily and i cant never focus.. inside me i seem to lack emotions like emptyness. i feel nothing towards my friends or family, tbo i feel nothing from them iether. it feels like there is not much time somthing will end up happening, somthing will take me out of this obliviuos nightmare. i needed to let it out at some piont i feel like im hiding this wierd feeling from the whole world. no one would ever suspect this i dont think, that just makes me feel more alone. i don't want attention i can't bear thaat. thats why i am saying it on this internet, if you look upset my mom will tell me i need medication. What do i do?
How do I act calm and not seem depressed, anxious and confused? My boyfriend of the last nine years is dying, I'm afraid (post cardiac arrest), I don't want him to see how freaked out about it all I am.
Oh hun… I know this is hard. It will not get any easier. You go right up to him. Look him in the eye's and tell him. Tell him every anxious thought, every confused word you hear, every depressed moment that you are feeling. You tell him that you love him more then you ever dared to dream you could, you tell him your scared and overwhelmed and do not want to go on without him! Tell him every little thing that has been hurting you and digging into you since all of this started! Cry, cry and cry….Then listen sweetheart….listen to what he tells you back…listen to his words, listen to the tone, listen to his afflictions. Look into his eyes, see what he is telling you, see the concern he has for you! Melt at the love the shines for you!When you are both done and you have said the words that need to be said. You take his hand, look him in the eye and say…(even if you are told there is no hope.) Alright love, we are in this fight together. I'm not giving up are you? And he will see your love, your strength and determination and draw on that. Will it add time? I can not answer that.But do not let fear of his passing make you miss it. You are so much stronger then you think you are… He knows it, I believe we all know it. You need to know it now hun! Go stand with him…
What does it mean if my girlfriend says she suddenly lost feelings for me?
My girlfriend and I have been close friends for over a year now, dating for two months because we realized we liked each other. Everything was great, passionate and sweet. This past week she's been in a funk. She's been angery at her patents, sad, confused and thinking a lot. She loves me. My problem is, she said she randomly lost feelings for me. We were hanging with friends and after she told me she cares and loves me but she doesn't know if its boyfriend love or best friend love. I'm giving her time and space for both of us. What should I do? What does this mean? Girls please help! Is this like normal? Not to sound sexiest but is it a period thing? (I know she was on her period the week of this) she says she wants to be with me and have everything work out but she doesn't have feelings for me anymore or ad least like before to what she says. What does this a mean?
Can masturbation cause anxiety attacks?
For a few weeks, I was doing it everyday, sometimes 2 times a day, and I began having these really scary panic attacks where I would start shaking in certain situations, my hands would get all clammy cold, I'd feel like I was about to pass out, like I was in another world, etc...and I decided to stop and see if it made any difference, and I haven't felt nearly as panicky since. Is it likely that that caused it?
When Im really depressed or scared I seem to have a feeling like depersonalization, feeling not myself?
Im not sure if this is depersonalization or not but if i try and think "where is my body?" I cant answer it in words to myself unless i relate it directly to an object and i cant relate it in any thoughts like "its right here" because i will think "i cant feel where here is though". Im obviously aware a room im in or where in the room I am but i feel like im not fully inside my body when very stressed. When at the worst i feel like my self is floating around near and through my body almost is best i can describe it or i feel dizzy and generally disorented. I often lack feeling like i am a person or a human at all but maybe thats just me putting myself down. I dont feel like the me i should be i dont feel all here like i live in my mind and my body is just here and i know this wouldnt be a psychological term but i guess you can say it feels as if my soul is disconnected or hidden or left me while my mind is confused trying to remember what its like to be me trying to play it out as me when the real me is gone. I feel completely empty inside and the outer world feels distant and i feel like hiding from it. It feels like i am looking at the world through a window in my mind while im curled up in my awful depressive anxious thoughts whats up with that? Is that depersonalization or just me thinking too hard about my depression and anxiety :/.
