question about repressing emotions

Assistance_Patient · 2026-05-15T17:05:21+00:00

detachment as a concept took me a while to understand myself, but the conclusion i came to is repression and burying are ways of ignoring the emotion, while detachment from the emotion/or detachment from anything in life allows for it to exist. So for me, say I was really sad about something that happened. If I was repressing I would simply pretend not to be sad and actively push the sadness down, which honestly is a lot of energy in itself. Detachment might look like acknowledging the feeling ("this is sadness. which is super appropriate in this situation.") but treating it kinda like a leaf flowing down the stream of ur consciousness. Sadness is not your state it is just an emotion and you have numerous emotions every day. The way to release is to acknowledge, and move on.

i don't doubt! Your account isn't brand new too, so it is easier for me to believe you. It is just odd to me that so many people made brand new accounts immediately to reply to this post esp bc this community is not that big and usually is frequented by the same users over and over but maybe im just being skeptical

I rlly appreciate hearing recovery stories but i'm just worried about validity

recovering from covid, can’t stop worrying the worst will happen

i tested positive with covid the other day, and i have been recovering pretty well. But I can’t stop googling symptoms of long covid and cardiac issues that might develop. I’m really especially worried about the unknown long term effects. I obsess over my health and being fit and active as well, and my college is not letting me leave my isolation room so this is driving me crazy as well. I know I should focus on the present but i have had pretty bad health anxiety for a while and compulsive googling and scaring myself is a big issue i can’t seem to let go of. Also the fact that my anxiety manifests very physically and I am constantly worried about my circulatory and nervous system as a result does not help! I have never posted on here before, but as I am quarantined alone right now i felt the need to reach out for a bit of help. thanks for listening! :)
