I'm curious about your "negative feelings that are not verbal". I think I know what you mean, but not sure. Is it something like panic attacks? Or something more subtle? I hate asking you to describe the feelings, I don't know how you could, since they're non-verbal.
When I was a little girl, I would sometimes get a sort of 'attack'(too strong a word) of some weird feeling that would wash over me, and feel very unpleasant, but have no cause or real description. To myself I would call it "my embarassed feeling", although it wasn't really embarassment. I remember this happening as young as six, but can't pinpoint when it stopped happening. The weird thing is that it started up again when I was pregnant. I guess, if I had to use words, I would describe the feeling as a mild, non-physical(I know a lot of people flush, shake, and/or have rapid heart beat), panic attack. It's a very 'inward' thing, no one would ever sense anything wrong, except I get a little quiet. Does this sound familiar? I'd love to know if there's a name or diagnosis for it. Oh well, take care!
