Does it make sadness worse if you fear sadness?

Question

Can you accept negative emotions? Depression, anger, grief & sadness as a regular and normal part of life?
Amor fati?

Answer

As another member said BPD is a bit of a roller coaster, it's up and down, loop de loop, round and round. There's no fixed emotions, they're everything and nothing all at the same time. I just have to deal with it on a day to day, hour to hour basis and try my best to work through it.

Answer

Sure, we can get in negative emotional loops with things.

Answer

Girl I am an emotional roller coaster! I struggle with BPD and I’m a fixer and empath. I take every emotion as it comes. ❤️❤️❤️

Answer

I dissociate from emotions and situations, so...not always. I try to, but it’s like hitting a cement wall. Then I randomly feel ALL the emotions and have a breakdown. Fun times. 🙃
Even feeling happiness is a struggle. 
It’s absolutely important to embrace all emotions and learn to cope with them positively. Everyday emotions I can process and enjoy usually, but anything remotely strong gets walled up before I can address it.

Answer

Those types are emotions are not "bad". They are normal and healthy in moderation. (if you feel this way all the time, please find a professional to help) 
I find that those who repress these emotions are typically emotionally unstable.

Answer

Well I’m not sure but I know being afraid of having a panic attack before I was put on meds always made me go into one. Maybe because I focused so much on it? Not sure. So I guess it could be the same for sadness too?

Answer

The brain is very powerful. We can manifest all kinds of things, and worrying is like praying for something you dont want. Of course it's okay to feel stress or sadness but its important to catch obsessive negative thoughts. Changing mindset can change the whole situation.
