too much depth of emotion
This topic was created in the Scorpio forum by carbon_scorp on Friday, April 5, 2013 and has 7 replies.
Does anyone here ever wish they weren't able to feel so deeply, particularly negative emotions?
Or for the more mature scorps here, have you figured out a way to channel intense emotional energy into something productive when there's no time for emotions/ when nothing good will come out of feeling so much anyway?
Sometimes I envy air signs.

Well I have a Libra Moon and Aquarius Ascendant which makes me quite airy but its still quite difficult.
When I get emotional, I'm also rationalizing it all at the same time which makes it more f*ed up to deal with.
I've been through a situation that put me at my lowest point in my life and looking back it's taken me four years to come to grips with what happened. Here's one thing I've learnt.
The best way to deal with emotions is to just run with it. Ever heard of the saying, "the more you resist, more it persists". So let the volcano blow! and let it blow up often. But do it in a safe way where you re not hurting anyone around you. After a few times the pressure will be reduced and it will be easier to manage.
Talk about things that piss you off to your best friend and take up kick boxing or mma lessons. After taking martial arts lessons I find that I feel fantastic afterwards every time. I've also stopped listening to emotional music. If a listen to a song that makes me cry...well that's just going to make me more emotional lol.
It's good to be positive, but it's also OK to be angry, to hate things, to be really sad. These are all just feelings and its better to diffuse them while they are just feelings, than to pent up to the point where you do something you might regret.
So I'll say this again let the volcano erupt! Curse the world! And after 20 minutes of intense loathing/emotional display towards punching bag or boxing opponent. Get back to your work and continue on with life.Works for me.

I'm the same - rationalizing and analyzing every emotion. It becomes so tiring. I don't have any significant air in me (saturn and pluto in libra..if that means anything) so I don't know where it comes from.

Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna see if there's a punching bag in the gym in my building. There have definitely been times where I felt like I needed to let steam out.

I recently just had one of these moments a couple of weeks ago. A relationship with a pisces girl didnt turn out as I hoped it would, which really affected me because I thought we had a good thing going for weeks.
Anyway what I've figured out that works for me (without being too destructive, on myself or others) were to do the following things.
A.) admit to myself that something is bothering me, and if its something i can fix (low grades), work towards that(stop procastinating and study). If not(relationships) then I tell myself to let it go and move on.
B.) fall back on my hobbies. This last time I was feeling blue, practicing my guitar, writing and painting all helped me calm my emotions. Even learned to play some songs I've been meaning to do but was too busy to bother with. Painting especially helped since I was just droning off not having to think too much, just blanking my mind.
C.) Most important of all, just talk to someone. I've realized I tend to keep my problems to myself, which at times is ok to do (no need to tell everyone all your issues), but sometimes we just need to let it out and know someone is there for us. I talked about my last issue with a friend, and even if he was overseas and just through email, it felt great to know that someone's got my back figuratively if not literally.
This doesnt even have to apply to just scorpios, This is what i tell anyone when they are feeling particularly low.

Thanks for your thoughts. I especially agree with A and C. As I've gotten older, I'm learning more and more that it's okay to admit that something is wrong and that I'm feeling sad. In the past, I've always just hid things inside and never talked about whatever was bothering me, but I've realized talking really helps. I'm still working on opening up to people but it's gotten better. It's a really bad feeling to be down and feel all alone in it.
It really is the worst, I'd say this happens to me every few months and I have thought the same exact thing. How envious I get of Air signs who don't let things affect them so deeply.
Sometimes it feels like it physically hurts (especially when crying) but anyway, I know it sounds a bit corny but I've been writing in a journal a lot more and I noticed writing it down and seeing what I feel instead of keeping it bottled in, makes it feel more like a passing moment than the end of the world.
One time I even typed a letter from myself as if it weren't me writing it, pretty much telling me to calm down.
Kind of weird but worked soooo welllll. emotions suck sometimes, but knowing others go through the same thing helps too x
