Additional emotions

Emotion identification
  • I experience something other than sadness, anger, anxiety, happiness, boredom, stress, regret, or drive when I'm:

    • feeling lonely (missing social contact in general)
    • missing a lover (either when I have none or when he's not arround)
    • feeling clammed up (when I feel 'hard' / emotionless /distant towards people, as if there is a wall between me and them.)
    • feeling conflicted about something (this could result in feelings of dispair of frustration but is not synonymous with it)
    • hurt by someone I trust (this could cause sadness and anger but there is some other component that plays a part here. Maybe betrayal?)

    I think feeling 'happy' could be specified much more since there are many different positive feelings. For example:

    • feeling proud of something I accomplished
    • feeling at peace and trusting
    • being in love (which can be both good and painful..)
    • receiving a compliment or feeling appreciated

  • A deep void???

    I too have this deep void and I think it's because of my depression. My depression manifests itself as anhedonia rather than melancholy. Of course with anhedonia comes apathy and thus a lack of drive for life. With no drive for life I don't have a a goal, I'm just 'living' day by day eating, showering, exercising, and sleeping. Crystal, I too can't imagine myself in the future
