why do emotions drag a person down?

Answer 1

I don't know! But I know when I get upset, the reason I got upset (whether it be something someone said or somethin that has happened) just keeps going round and round in my head and then I start to over analyse things which then makes me worried about whatever happened and what's going to happen in the future. I find when I'm tired I get it worse. I sometimes feel quite sick when something really bad happens.

Answer 2

Emotions don't drag a person down. Unforgiveness does. When you harbor anger and resentment towards someone, it will take root in your heart and create all sorts of nasty and negative feelings. Forgive that person who hurt you! It's only keeping you in a bad place. If you need more help, talk to God, a pastor, or even a close friend. It can help.

Answer 3

Far too many people allow themselves to be dictated by their emotions. The mind is a powerful thing, and should never be controlled by emotions - which are often irrational.

Answer 4

Why wouldn't they? Your body and mind respond to your emotions. You can't feel excited and happy when you're depressed at the same time. It's part of life. You're going to feel down and you'll act that way.

Answer 5

Because we grow up seeing our elders revolve around their emotions and react differently according to their current moods. Unless you are one with your inner self you'll take all of that info that was processed as a kid and incorporate into your routine.

Answer 6

each of us, has an inner being/conscience/spirit.
when we are in soundmind, ect..love, peacae and joy/conetent...and when we are violated/offended/hurt
what we say or do in our carnal being..vs spirit being..
our carnal/flesh-thoughtless/shallow being RE-act wrongly..to our good nature of love, forgiveness..tolerance..ect..in violation of this, cause our LIGHT of love, hope..truth..DIM..in glory or power.
till we get rid of the poisonous jealousy, bitterness, unforgiveness, rejection..abandonment, ect..till we get that poison OUT OF US...our light,..grow darker.
till we hit bottom or humility..pride is removed..we say.i forgive them...for my sake of liberty of this anger..this rage..this..hurt.
so in doing THE RIGHT THING..to keep our LIGHT shining/spirit at peace..at love..at joying life..to the fullest each day..and moment..we get brighter...till
a person or situation..come forth..to snuff the light or dim the light..of our inner being.

our emotion drain us, when we not handle our emotion rightly spiritually..for all of us..are a spirit being.
love and light and honesty...is our core being.
so when we're violated in whatever or however way..that event, that moment..is a poison of hate, hurts, or offense.
properly disposing this toxic emotion is vital..most of us, hold onto that toxic emotions/scars...and it's shape our today and future..even effect our marriage..and raising our children..as well fellowship with c0=workers, internet aquaintance and so on.
as for me..i find..i need to dispose of my past hurts for my own peaace of mind and joy in life..it a choice..it's a free will. by the way...medical researchers said for decades, most well known diseases to day..are here by the wounds in their past, or mishandling their emotions..in my blunt opinion, this is truth..and cancer..comes by lack of peace in our inner being..because..turmoil within, wear us DOWN, steal sleep, slow our quick humor, slow our problem solving ablities..ect..that is what worry does too.
these emotions OPPRESS the immune system.and the brain chemistry too.
so...be quick to forgive those who trespaass against you..is wise words..for this protect our mind, body and spiritual being. .take the time to self exam oneself..pride and unforgiveness or worry..ect.
