Document Summary
An appraisal of a situation, an evaluation of what"s going on around you. Weakness, selfishness, out of control, guilt, not able to function, not entertaining. There"s a limit on negative feelings: because then you might have something wrong with you such as depression or anxiety, too much feeling = disorder is a common stigma, might just be doing this for attention. When other people think it"s a problem. When we transition from just suffering to an illness/disorder: when your emotions are affecting your environment and function of daily living and you cross the threshold. When the doctor or psychologist say you do, quite literally. You don"t have a diagnosis until a qualified professional, medical professional has given you the diagnosis even if you check all of the boxes to meet criterion for a diagnosis. Emotional suffering = very real, the actual experience of emotions is very real and is never questioned.
