Yes, I have definitely experienced that kind of sadness before. I have found itveryuseful to keep a journal where I can write down all my thoughts and feelings. Getting everything down on paper helps me feel a lot less overwhelmed.
I've been writing in my journal the last few weeks and all my entries are really sad. When I go back to read some of them, I start to cry. Are you sure this works, Doc?
It's okay that some of your journal entries make you cry- there's absolutely nothing wrong with crying! Even though it might not feel good to cry, it is really important to get out all your feelings and emotions and not keep them inside of you.
In addition to journaling, thisworksheetwill also help you jot down your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
George got ahold of one of my journal entries and read it aloud to some of the other kids in my class. He had to go to Mr. Hamberger's office, but I'm still really embarrassed. I don't want anyone to know how sad I really am...
I'm sorry that happened to you- journals are meant to be private and George shouldn't have done that. I know that you don't like others to see you when you're sad, Hortensia, but it's okay if they do. There is nothing wrong with expressing your feelings and emotions. The more you can express them, the better you will feel.
