I read somewhere that the way we feel can be influenced by diet and such.  So does this mean that emotions lie?

No. We feel what we feel. Our emotions can be affected by stress, but that does not mean they are a lie. They are just how you feel at the moment.

Dont fight ur feelings.,,if u feel a certain way its for a reason...Or maybe its something that happened that u havent dealt with. If thats the case dont force anything just to make others like u, or happy,,cause u matter.

I would suggest a medical work up first to rule out any underlying condition. Some conditions, such as those that deal with the thyroid gland can have a profound effect on emotions. A common symptom is severe mood swings. If a medical evaluation does not find anything, then your physician can refer you to the proper specialist. Good luck.

It is true-everything happens for a reason; however, the reason is not always apparent to us.  Some things we understand right away, other much later, and some issues remain beyond our understanding forever.  For example, the oaths you ate gave you nourishment which was not only physical in nature. Our mind and spirit also get  nourishment from the food we eat thus when you eat food you love, you nourish your feelings of love. The food you ate nourished your spirit also. I believe even your spelling mistakes came for a reason.  Have a look please at the misspelled words and ask yourself why your spirit did not accept some words your mind dictated and your hand wrote? By the way I am not a liberal and I do believe in science not b.s. As you know there are many types of energy in the food you eat.  Why not the spiritual energies?

Sadness is a very real emotion, and there is much in our lives to feel sad about. If it is something we can do nothing about, it is best to let it go and concentrate on the positive aspects of our lives.

Let me ask you this.  If you had a time machine and could change any event in your past, would that make you feel better about yourself today?  If it would then realize what it is about that event that is sabotaging you today.  If it is a past thing, often times we know intellectually that we are ok but our emotions are still tied to that past event.  Emotions stay the same no matter how old we get.  We cant stop the pain in life sometimes but we can increase the tools to deal with it.  When you dropped something as a young child you cried.  You can drop the same item now and it is ok, why?  You have information now that tells intellectually it is ok.  The emotions are the same but the tools to deal with that event are in place.  You have already experienced that event and it no longer shocks you.  So what is it about your life that is shocking you now?\n\nWhatever the issue is past, present, you need to see what is eating away at it.  It is ok to feel bad, it is the flipside of the coin to feeling happy.  The problem is if we become depressed about it, all life's issues become sensative and bigger problems than they are.\n\nYoung or old we all feel down at times.  Some just hide it better or keep themselves occupied to endure those moments.  Sometimes we feel like we are being taken somewhere and have no way to steer it.  The key is planning what you want to do.  Life is 90% how you react to it.  If you think you are successful and a good person, people will be convinced of it too.  Most reality comes from someone's perception.  They believed it and it became so.\n\nDepression is impression without expression.  Something gets you down, find a way to express it.\n\nIf you kind of hate yourself then you have not completely made full judgement on yourself yet.  If you hate yourself than you are having an expectation that you are not at yet.  Find out what that is and is it a valid expectation?\n\nGood luck to you!

One thing I will tell you.  Anxiety does not root in fat.  And it doesn't sound as though you are realy overweight.  Shedding a few pounds may boost your self esteem because you will then feel great.\nAs for your anxiety issues, I don't think they are based on the measurements of your body but on how your mind handles these "issues".  You seem to be an inquisitive person and thus perceive things in a more intelligent way.  Sometimes when we analyze our issues and reach below surface, then we realize that indeed we do live in an anxious society and there are many issues that rightly make us anxious.    \nSo if you feel that you may have imbalanced hormones, weight may play a minor role but if your anxiety is not enviromentaly caused, then It may be a good idea ton see your physician.  \nOtherwise,  live each day to its fullest and try to appreciate the little things in life.  You can't and won't solve the world's problems on you own.  Wish you the best.

There is no such thing as what you "should" feel. What matters is how you feel and how you want to feel. How do you want to feel? What would help you feel that way? Go do it!

No! I don't think it's true! All that you are feeling is in your mind! you aren't feeling with hart, you are feeling whit the brain!

I've never read anything drawing a direct link between dinner and mood the following morning, however if you're eating that late at night you aren't getting the ideal 7-8 hours sleep per night, which will definitely affect mood.  Diet does affect sleep patterns, which in turn affect mood, so if you're eating that late stick to light meals with only whole-grain carbs and no red meat.  Eat your big meal at lunch.

its the emotional aspect of what a person says to you versus what a person does to you! Emotions unfortunately play a large role in all life decisions!

I know how you feel...I have been through this! If you have this way of thinking, then it is a larger problem that you know. You have to get in the mind-set of thinking that this behavior will not help you lose weight! There are facts proving that is messes up your electrolytes which, in return, actually keeps you from losing weight. After you have purged, you normally get a euphoric feeling as though this behavior is aiding in weight loss(and it might over a long period of time)....but trust me, you are doing more damage to your body than what you will be able to repair later! Just to name a few problems with this disease: bloating stomach, bad teeth, feeling tired all the time, heart problems, distorted thinking, inability to concentrate...just to name a few! So, just think about all of this...you can find a diet and exercise plan that works and that it is healthy and avoid this mess all together! Trust me, it is worth it! If you cannot combat this issue on your own, please seek some guidance!

Yes, because you are more focused on the feeling than the person.  It is not healthy and not really fair to the partner in question, but it does occur.

This is like asking "if water is just made of hydrogen and oxygen, how does is quench my thirst." These emotions from sound are like that of smell, it is all memory association. This changes with every person and if I hear something, can it truly make me feel drunk, or do I feel what I perceive to be drunk?

Always remember, happiness is a state of the mind...\nwhen we are happy our mind is the one that gives us this feeling of happiness not the heart...-lil bro\n\nIts because of the Hypothalamus in the brain which controls our emotions. I wish I could take it out(or at least the part of it  which controls the emotions which I dunno where)...if only it werent that important...(it controls our whole body!) then we can live without emotions. Now that would be fun.   -me ü
