“Feeling emotions” and “not appreciating things”
Your questions have been answered before, and thank you very much for that section.
As I study the teachings of Buddhism on a daily basis at hasunoha, there are points where I don't know what to think about, so let me ask you a question.
I'm currently going to a psychiatrist due to depressive symptoms, etc.
As part of that treatment, I am also receiving counseling.
Among them, I was told by a clinical psychologist that “suppressing emotions leads to lethargy and anxiety.”
I was told that feeling emotions and showing them outwardly is one of the treatment methods.
I certainly have self-sacrificing thoughts and parts where I don't have confidence in myself, and I thought it would be nice if I could honestly express my feelings.
At the same time, I learned that in Buddhism, it is important to look at things as they are without evaluating them, and I thought that was certainly the case.
Both ways of thinking are very convincing to me,
Is it possible to balance feeling one's own emotions and not appreciating things?
For example, does the fact that I feel lonely right now mean I'm evaluating it?
According to Buddhist teachings, shouldn't we feel lonely?
I would be grateful if you could tell me how to think and how to handle my own mind.
