Bottle It Up Research Paper

Everyone has their own way of coping with emotionally traumatic events in their life. Some ways are healthy. Some are not. Many people do not understand that they are not handling their emotions in a healthy way. I am here to show you how to handle them correctly. First, you need to bottle up an type of negative emotions that you might have. Something that someone said to you hurt your feelings but you are too afraid of confrontation to talk to the person about it? Bottle it up. Do you sometimes feel random spouts of extreme sadness for no reason at all? Bottle it up. At night, do you feel like crying for hours upon hours? Bottle it up. This method has shown to be the most effective to start living a healthy and stable life. Do not, under
any circumstances, talk to a therapist, counselor, psychologist, or any other mental health expert about what you are feeling. This has the opposite effect of the bottle it up method.
Next, you need to ignore any signs or symptoms of any type of mental illness. If you are reading an article that is talking about depression and it starts listing symptoms, immediately leave the article and go find a book or a television show to distract yourself until you have completely forgotten about the aforementioned article. Your friend is talking about their anxiety problems and their depression and you think to yourself “I feel that way all the time”, change the subject as soon as possible to something more cheerful like puppies or kittens. If you have to research a mental illness for work or school, choose the one that you believe that you are least likely to have. Once you have done that, pretend that you have not realised that you might have that mental illness.
After that, you should then continuously make jokes about the mental illnesses that you pretend that you don’t actually have. For example, if someone tells you that you are a terrible person, look them directly in the eye with a blank face and say in emotionless voice “I know. I cry about it every night” then slowly turn around and walk away. If you do not hear the person laughing, don’t worry. They are still processing your joke. Sooner or later they will be on the floor, laughing hysterically with tears falling down their face. Trust me, I have learned this from my own experiences.
