Hi!

Introduction
  • Hello everybody,

    I'm a 26 year old Dutch woman and I'm currently doing a master at an university.
    After using moodpanda.com for a few days I noticed how nice it was to express my feelings to strangers. Then I felt the need to share and discuss my feelings more elaborately. So when I looked for such a forum, I found this site. I hope to find like-minded people here.

    Lana.

  • Hi Lana, welcome to the forums! What are you studying for your masters? Moodpanda, eh? I've never heard of that site before. It looks like an app that lets you track your mood everyday. Not sure how that would be helpful? What benefits did you get from tracking your mood?

  • Hi Emotion,
    I'm doing a master in social sciences. Moodpanda is nice (at the time being, using it only since a week) for tracking your mood because (I use the website btw, not the app)my mood fluctuates. When I feel bad I can't remember that I felt good the day before. Not remembering makes me think negatively about everyting because I tend to think life was always bad (or that the good won't come back). Moodpanda helps me remember. I can look at the past two weeks and see that my mood was pretty good. So when I feel bad again, I know that it's only temporary and I will feel better again. And that feeling bad makes me see things negative and I shouldn't take those thoughts too seriously.
    Also, (depending on your privacy settings) you can read other people's mood and others can respond to your mood (by giving hugs primarily). This emphasizes that you're not alone in feeling bad. Also when happy, I like to give people kindness, support and advice. It's empathy.

  • Hello and welcome

  • Thanks Crystal!

    Hey Cherrie, welcome to the forums! Yeah, people have posted on here since 2014 :P. Just look at the sidebar on the right-side of the front page. It's titled 'Recent Activity'.

    Hmm, high strung? Do you mean you get angry easily or are stressed out easily? In that case, you should either post to one of these:

    Thankyou for the warm welcome Emotion & Crystal.

    Emotion the technical reason at the time was your security questions - I mentioned it to you at the Forum Promotion site... Also I PM'd you a couple of days ago, also at the Forum Promotion site regarding email verification, basicaly it's taking hours (or did for me) to recieve the email.

    My depression has, for the most part been better since being diagnosed. Though it isn't that easy to say as I was put on anti depressants at the same time!

    Oh, I just noticed you PM'd me there. I can't reply to PM's there for whatever reason. I'm not sure why it took hours for you to receive the e-mail. I made a test account and got an activation email within 5 mintues. I used a gmail account. What email provider are you using?

    I think it was a Yahoo account I used in this instance.

    Very well put and interesting. Welcome to the forums, Aaron!

    Backing up your theory on motivation and emotion being inseparable, those who have found their calling in life do not need external motivation as they care so much about it that motivation is always there. They are full of energy and roadblocks do not set them back easily.

    Those are some good ideas, but for the second idea, I'd need to make a lot of posts on other forums before anyone would see my signature. It would take a lot of time and effort.

    I'm not sure if I want to do that, maybe I'll buy some ads and see if that brings in more members.
