How can I deal with my own emotions?

Question

Lately I have been feeling very angry and frustrated at everyone and everything. I think it has to do with my ex dumping me for another woman while we have a 2 year old and I'm almost 8 months pregnant. I feel very sad and with no support even though I have my mom's support both emotionally and financially how can I deal with my negative emotions??

Answer 1

Keep in my mind, you are pregnant.For your negative emotions i advise you to write down your emotions and feeling and how you feel disappointed and such.This really helps with me.And if that does not work, do some lightly strenuous activities to release your anger.Have a happy conversation with a friend on the phone, have a shoulder to cry on.According to an article i read, the best anti-depressant would be to walk with a smile.And lastly, if ever all else fails, eat!This helps a lot of people.But keep on mind not to put on too much pounds.Cheers!;)

Answer 2

Very simple, everyday wake up early morning,sit silent place until 1 hour you thing anyone but make sure peace, day by day must do like this,after 1 month you can feel different thinking and peaceful mind.

Answer 3

You will calm down eventually, I know you feel mad, especially for your ex dumping you at such a time! Why couldn't he have waited a while to help you through the pregnancy?

But lets face it, you can't change that. You will find another love in your life, hopefully more supportive and caring.

You will get through this, don't worry!

Maybe you should invest in a stress ball, or write down your anger on paper and burn it.

My ex-husband and I divorced back in 2006 due to the fact that he was cheating....again. I remember feeling very angry and frustrated for the fact of what he had done not to mention the fact that this was not a first time offense, which made me feel stupid and angry at myself for believing his lies.  At the time, I was living at my mother's and although I had her support as well the support of others, it didn't really help me to digest and deal with all of the negative emotions that I had been feeling. My daughter was 3 at the time which made things even more stressful.  In regards to dealing with the feelings, you have options. In my circumstance, the most important thing for me to do was get out and spend time with people that I cared about and also take part in activities that I enjoy. You have your mom to talk to about how you feel so definitely do so...have friends? rant to them too...I am sure they will all understand and be able to offer the support and advice you need. Try to express your emotions whether that is through written word (my personal preference), drawing, painting, or whatever sparks your interest becoming creating and allowing for a release to your negative emotions in a positive means will help you to heal from the pain and stress that you now endure. I know you are 8 months pregnant but why don't you try exercising a little (like walking or yoga....check with the doc first though) or even doing something like volunteer work ( I found that trying to do good for someone else kept me from focusing on my own problems and even helped me to realize that this situation was not that bad and was more of an opportunity and a blessing). For some reason, coming on to Yahoo Answers helped me too because I was able to get an outside perspective on things which helped me to see things in a different light. Spend time with your child and look forward to the child that is about to grace your life and think about the fact that you guys are probably better off with your ex. I mean was your relationship really that good to you? Did you see signs that showed he wasn't the guy that you first fell for? I mean there are usually signs and warnings of what a person's true intentions are or if they are acting shady so really take a look at the relationship you had and think about whether or not this idiot is worth the tears or the pain. If anything you should be happy that you found out what a scumbag he is and now this other woman can learn this experience on her own too. My point is that if he was bound to do something like this, then it is better that it happened now then later on. And if your relationship was not a good example for your children as to what constitutes a healthy relationship then it is all for the best.  However, if you do not think that your emotions will be helped by anything that I have mentioned or if you have tried some and they do not work, then perhaps you could talk to a  therapist about the emotions that you are dealing with. Being that they are trained professionals, they may be able to help you find a means to  deal with these emotions constructively.

I apologize for rambling on but being that I was in a similar situation I just want to help you get to a better place emotionally instead of dwelling in the betrayal and pain. I hope that you are able to find a healthy way to vent your emotions and that these wounds heal soon...

As much as I hated to hear it though when I first found out about my ex-husband...it is true....Time really does heal all wounds....
