emotional investments

"does anyone have any advice?"

It's a curse with double sides. You either stuck up with things and end up in endless routine, or tip your nose to new possibilities.

The easy and wonderful side of it is to feel comfortable within your can and use creativity which is usually tops all other elements.

But the difficult side is to leave your comfort zone and seek new horizonts. The process of seeking is never easy and required. Only strong spirit and constant practise of this faith will bring you to comfort.

Never give up.

Oh goodness...just to have one water element is enough but to have triple! No offense but I would probably be suicidal...I have enough stuff going on with just being a Scorpio.

I would say to try and get out more. You can't possibly be emotionally attached to everything! Can you? Damn...I always journal. Talk to your friends. That can be therapeutic. Or if all else fails. Seek counseling.

Like my crazy ass did 😉 Good Luck...

Curse or gift...depends on what you can gdo with it.

"Attaching life to the inanimate, or non-living things is a not so much a sign of extreme emotion, but probably a sign of higher imagination."

Ahhh...good one. 🙂 Thanks. Always welcome perception rising thoughts.

The moon is in Scorpio at the moment..So I am kinda feeling the same way to be honest....theres nothing to get emotional about...but am feeling kinda doom and gloom

Just had some guy call me on my phone..sounds sexy enough but I have absolutely no idea who it is..and he won't tell me..he said he'll leave me guessing as I sound really busy but he's shocked I can't tell who it is!..well duh...I don't know...Gosh..thats really annoyed me now..wonder who it is..It was private number too..damn!

LOL @ it wasn't me!...shaggy comes to mind!..lol

kiki1186, i'm at the other end of the spectrum from you, i suppose. i spend a lot of time suppressing emotions which i know is not healthy either, coz am getting to the point of being detached and not allowing myself to experience true emotions. i know a lot has to do with fear ... scared of being vulnerable and exposed. i'm working on it 😉

so from my perspective, i think it's great you are in touch with your emotions, but your coping mechanisms are what it seems you need help with...as you've pointed out staying up all night and overeating isn't the answer. and we do have one thing in common: overanalysis leads to paralysis...

i don't know if this will work for you, but i find when i distract myself with something, like a new dance class, or going to the gym, or just checking out something new (next thing i wanna try is either a yoga class or a kickboxing class; the last new thing i tried was indoor rock climbing)...once i've finished whatever activity it is that has distracted me and kept me in the present (ie, instead of the 'what if this happens or that happens' state of mind), i come back to what's bothering me and i find the answer has been there all along. it's almost like my mind has been processing in the background and presents me with answers to my troubles. 🙂

and if that doesn't work, usually talking it out with a trusted friend always helps me.

good luck, i hope you find the right coping mechanisms that work for you 🙂

Here's some techniques I learned that helped:

--Try to stay in the present moment during all activities (including grooming, walking, etc). Its called "mindfulness". Meditation is also part of mindfulness. While meditating if you feel the emotions, it usually will subside if you accept the emotion and wait til it passes. Mindfulness & breathing exercises was a blessing for me and many others. Technique link

--Exercise is a good outlet for emotions & can make you sleep better (don't exercise at least 4 hours before bedtime). Yoga is meditation in motion and is superb at relaxing my emotions and helping me sleep. Take a yoga class or try "Candelight Yoga" or "Yoga for urban living" dvds. The public library carries several yoga videos,its a good free way to try different instructors & style s. The best is taking a live class. For bedtime relaxation, hatha yoga is recommended. Link

-Listen to music that relaxes you and doesn't have lyrics to provoke negative emotions. Or try a relaxation music cd. I have a "sleep" cd from Brookstone and it helps me when I have insomnia. For relaxing sounds like ocean sounds, etc: Link

- Get sleep. Not getting enough sleep can make emotions feel out of control. Take a relaxing warm, lavender oil bubble bath before bedtime. Drink Chamomile tea or Celestial Seasonings "Sleepytime plus tea with Valerian" (check info on valerian because although its a herb it may interact with certain drugs, they also have regular Sleepytime tea without valerian). "Tila or Tilo" tea helps calm my emotions. Talk to your doctor about your insomnia and they can give you some ideas (hopefully they do that first before writing a Rx). Melatonin is a natural chemical in the brain that regulates our internal sleep clock. It is available at health stores like GNC (the GNC brand worked great for me). Take no more than 1.5 mg - 3mg before bedtime for a few days. Link

- Avoid caffeine & drugs (including cigarettes & alchohol). Don't drink caffeine at least 8 hrs before bedtime. Alcohol like wine may help but I don't recommend it.

- During bedtime, leave the internet alone. Try reading a boring novel instead.

I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with having an abundance of emotion. Attaching life to the inanimate, or non-living things is a not so much a sign of extreme emotion, but probably a sign of higher imagination. Not many people can look at a rock and attach a persona, give it a name, and mentally say 'good moring' to it each day.

It's funny, when I was first learning basic arithmetic in second grade, I can remember subconsciously attaching personalities to each number (1-10), as well as the nature of the relationship between any two numbers (i.e., the number they added up to). Like 6+7 was a harmonious in my mind, whereas 8+9 was polemical. Admittedly, it's really strange, but it did help in remembering arithmetic much better.

Geniuses also do the same way. They just figure out more how to these things much faster.

kiki,do something creative,paint a la picasso,which means a nonsense thing😛,but even that is great,take all your emotions out on the canvas.or if you like music and dance,dance till drop.or play some sport,that will keep the excess emotional energy in control

Scorpio is about control...so the answer to your plethora is simple, control your emotions, don't let them control you.
