Emotional vs Mental distress:?
What is the difference, if any?
Answer:
Emotional is an involment with another person or from a person or persons and mental is a depression from either yourself and your history or your genes and good luck to you and a great question. Either is a feeling of non hope called given up on yourself and others,
Wow, this is such a wide question, I can only imagine the plethera of answers you will receive. In my experiences as a woman, the difference is sometimes obvious and other times, not so much. Emotional could range from a touching tv commercial that brings you to tears or just makes you feel a certain way..sad, happy, etc all the way to the death of a loved one where you go through the motions...mourning, anger, sadness and loss and hopefully, finally, acceptance. Mental distress is a little more concerning for most people that know they are experiencing it. The mind will create things due to stress that will make you act in a way that you wouldn't normally act. For me, I have had a lot of trouble sleeping lately and last night, night #3 of NO SLEEP, literally, I broke down. Screaming and crying and slamming around in bed like a 5 yr. old not getting their way, it worried me. That behavior, due to my sleeplessness, is a red flag and I have made an appt with my doctor. This to me is the start of mental distress. When you go thru something that changes your behavior and you don't know how to correct it but you recognize it. Does this help you at all? To put it more simply, emotional is a feeling of the mind and bodies emotions that don't typically frighten you about yourself, Sadness, happiness, anger, eagerness, anxiety(which can also be linked to mental distress on occasion) joy or excitement, etc etc etc. Mental distress is usually derived from some sort of stress, trauma, overwhelming situation, etc. When life throws things at you that your mind just can't handle because it's already handling so much already, you have what can be called a "break down". If you are asking this question because you are feeling something you don't usually feel and you are scared about what this may cause inside or outside of your mind and body, there is no better way to deal than speaking with a therapist, even just once to get a better grip on what is going on. Like it or not, they are trained in the brain and are there to help. Physical pain is 90% mental, we have these back aches and head aches and sorenesses because we store stress in our bodies, dealing with these stresses, getting them out, is the only sure way to develop mental health. If more people knew that or were atleast open to it, there would be a lot less mean people out there. They are mean because they hide their tears and fears and lash out in ways that suit them without having to admit something is wrong with them. The guy that flipped you off the other day after he cut you off and you had to honk your horn? He probably cheated on his wife, has a guilty conscinece about it and is taking his self loathing out on someone else. That is a hypothetical, but an example none the less. If I have not helped you, I appologize for wasting your time, if I have, I hope whatever you do based on my answer is helpful to you in resolving your situation. Best of luck and keep asking for help when needed, it's the best way to get help when you need it. Don't bottle things up, don't be afraid to cry, it's strongly theraputic, and don't be afraid to tell someone your problem in hope for help. In any case, you can contact me anytime.
