“We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise, we harden.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Few years ago, I realized that my own life energy was getting exhausted more often than usual. I was getting irritated easily, frustrated on the smallest things, angry for silliest stuff and tired beyond measure. It took me a while to realise that this is NOT me.

My default setting, if you know me or ask anyone who knows me is high energy and very bubbly. All those who know me say the same thing. I know this as my truth as well.

Anger, sadness, joy, and shame are all common feelings that play an important role in daily life. When people have a hard time expressing or accepting these feelings, they may be struggling with suppressed emotions. Sometimes suppressed emotions are part of the bigger picture, which could include substance use or mood disorders that need professional help to heal from.

Understanding Suppressed Emotions

Everyone at some time or the other in their life do suppress emotions. Sometimes, we may consciously or unconsciously choose to avoid experiencing certain emotions because we believe we are unable to handle them. In doing so, we push these emotions deep down within ourself.
