Feeling Your Feelings (Even When They Don’t Make Sense)

Ever felt sad for “no reason”? Angry, then guilty about it? Like your emotions are too big or too confusing?

Here’s the thing: your feelings don’t need to make sense to be real. You’re allowed to feel what you feel, even if it’s messy.

What It Might Look Like:

• Crying after holding it together all day

• Feeling angry but unsure why

• Wanting to numb out with distractions

• Judging yourself for being “too sensitive”

You’re not too much. You’re processing life. And that’s a lot.

Why It Matters to Feel (Instead of Suppress)

Avoiding your feelings doesn’t make them go away, it just buries them. And buried emotions have a way of showing up later as anxiety, exhaustion, or feeling disconnected.

Ways to Gently Check In With Yourself:

• Ask: “What do I need right now?”

• Write it out (remember: no filter)

• Talk to someone who gets it

• Rest, cry, scream into a pillow - whatever helps it move

Final Thought

Emotions are messengers, not enemies. You don’t have to understand them all straight away. Just give them space. You’re doing the best you can, and that’s enough.
