I've been having many of emotional troubles right now and I'm starting to lose it from not being able to show what I feel or talking about it. In my home, I'm not permitted to show anger in any technique and my parent doesn't listen very well besides lecturing more.



I'm growing weary of being depressed and all I find myself doing is listening to depressing music and closing myself away when I'm used to being a very social person.



I've heard that there is a technique to release negative energy via a tecnique like escaping your mind. I need an escape and I need one rapid and I don't want to resort to drugs or alcohol.



Please, someone help. And please, only answers that pertain to the question. Thanx.

Drugs and alcohol will only make things worse. Things can happen to you while you're drunk or high on drugs that will push you into a wore situation. I closed my self away and have been locked a technique from socializing for over fours years. It's really amazing that you recognize that something is going on with you. Surround your self with positive people, keep a everyday journal of all that happens to you. Read your journal often so that you could see what things trigger you sadness and emotions. Tell your parent y ou need to talk and ask them to please listen. My drinking lead to more grave problems, like being raped. I don't want to scare, but encourage you to not let it obtain out of hand. In addition to dealing with my mental illness, I am also dealing with be an alcoholic. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

I'm sorry you don't have anybody at home to support you, but congratulations on wanting to find a positive outlet for your feelings.

You can try to write your feelings down. You don't have to write an actual journal, a scrap piece of paper will do fine, just obtain your feelings down on paper. Sometimes this helps one to obtain a better perspective of what exactly they are feeling.

Yoga is a amazing relaxation technique. There are inexpensive DVDs available... I really like any by Rodney Yee. Or sometimes you could find yoga programs on TV.

Until you could get instruction for yoga, you could try a simple technique..... First lay down somewhere you could be comfortable, either your bed or the floor(with some pillows if you like) You should be on your back with your arms at your side. The room should be quiet, or have some relaxing/calming music on(something instrumental or nature sounds is best)

Next close your eyes and take a deep breath in via your nose, then out via your mouth. Try to make each breath last til the count of ten.

As your continue breathing, concentrate on each body part individually, starting with your feet and working up. Tighten the muscles of that body part and hold for a few seconds, then slowly relax it. You should feel the tension leaving your body. Go from your feet, to calves, knees, thighs, etc... ending with your face/head.

After you have finished that continue to just lay there and relax. You can either continue nose/mouth breathing, or go back to your common pattern, whichever you're most comfortable with.
