RE: Allowing myself to feel (I'd rather be human than a robot)
Personally, I find that when moods are dark I get comfort from helping. Doesn't matter if it's an animal, or a person. Dark moods often involve feelings of powerlessness. By helping, I exert control over my environment. Plus, it really feels good to see the effect I have. Even if I'm just feeding a hungry animal, or reaching out to someone else who's obviously having a bad day. A word, a gesture might make a difference.
Anyway, it works for me. Fortunately, my dark moods do not come often.
Hey @agmoore, oh yes I agree with this and experience the same. Maybe the act of giving places to focus away from the "little-poor-me" onto something that actually feels meaningful?
Thank you for your point of view, it was so good to read! Imagine everyone would just start to give to others - when they have a bad mood... :))
Wishing you the best!
