I don't understand my own feelings.

Feelings change from time to time depending on mood and state of mind.
For example, there are days when parents think “I'm thankful they let me live at home” or “I want them to live much longer,” and there are also days when they think “it's depressing” or “I want to leave the house quickly and break up relationships.”
I'm taking a leave of absence from junior college, but there are days when I think “let's go back to school in the fall and do my best” and “there are things I've only been able to see because I've run away once,” and days when I think “I don't want to go back after all” or “I don't want to work anymore.”

Every time my feelings change from day to day, and sometimes even within that day, I feel depressed, saying, “Oh, I'm a person who doesn't have a proper self.”

How can I clearly solidify my feelings?

The human mind is also impermanent

The Buddha said that everything was impermanent.
Everything is not constant; it changes.
The heart is the same.
That's why 30% of married couples get divorced.

If you want to maintain your positive feelings all the time, chant those feelings out loud every day.
For example, put the following on the wall 3 times at a time.
Thanks mom and dad!
I'm going back to school, studying, and doing ○○ work!

Minds change from place to place

Thank you Reihi for your question.

There are also people who say that the heart is a “heart” because it “changes in a circle.”
It's natural for it to roll around like that.

But why is it changing?
It changes according to your own circumstances, doesn't it?

So what am I?
This is changing, too.

I don't have a well-defined self.
My heart shakes from time to time.

There's no need to get depressed.

However, in my shaky heart, what I think I am sure of,
Why don't you just keep in mind to find it?

unconcerned

Please try to pull out the power of your shoulders.

Please stop.

It will be easier.

I don't care, I don't care

Let's write it out

Reihi-san
Nice to meet you, my name is Dateryuho.

I think Reihi's current state is very difficult.
There is a word “axis”
If it's squishy
We are constantly in a state where various worries are born and disappear.
This is very painful.

Right now, I'm also on the side that answers like this
From teens to mid-twenties
I was worried because I couldn't see myself.

You can also tell Reihi there
One, I myself firmly believe in my own feelings
I'd like to tell you how I was able to hold it.

That is...

Thoughts I only think in my head
It's about writing it out in a notebook as a letter.

Not just Reihi
It seems that humans think 20,000 times a day
Half of it doesn't even stay in my memory

And in it
Strongly say “that's good ~ ^^”
“No!!” or

Only thoughts that touch emotions
It seems like it's going to float up.

So that thought that comes to mind and then disappears
In a form that is clearly visible
Please use your own hands to write it out.

Then
Until now I've been stuck with emotions
The feeling that floated and then disappeared

“Ah, this is what I think right now...”

It's starting to look a little more objective.

Then
When you notice it naturally
The “axis of oneself” has been created.

What is actually going to try
It takes time and effort and is bothersome
It doesn't change just because I did it...
You might think

... If you try it, you'll see the effect.
Be sure to make time for that.

You're still young
You don't have to overdo it.
Please be interested in a variety of things.

Reihi's life
I hope it becomes something wonderful
I support you from the bottom of my heart ^^

Move before you think!

I'm stuck thinking too much about things that haven't even started yet, so I'm stuck. Even though my feelings are shaken, no one understands me. It's impossible to just want them to understand. Why is that? That's because you're not actually doing anything right now. Sometimes by experiencing it, I can decide that this is fine, or that this is difficult for me. Even though I don't have any judgment materials, I'm worried because I think about a lot of things. Talk about your worries when you can't move.
First, make a firm plan for what you want to do and the studies you want to do to return to school and proceed reliably. Let's finish the preparation properly before returning to school. Also, let's cheer on your sluggish body when you exercise or work part-time. If it's a part-time job, you can also make pocket money, so isn't it two birds with one stone? Dreams and hopes aren't far away. When they are piled up one by one every day, a ray of light shines through. Let's keep track of everything we know from now until returning to school. Wouldn't it be better to take care of everything and think about whether it's suitable or not? I'm praying for your success. Jōkō-ji
