Expressing how we feel can actually have health benefits. I’ve read several articles regarding this that expressing oneself can release a lot of tension. Writing is one way of expressing ourselves and this is another health benefit we can get from joining a site like myLot.
When we express ourselves, we are able to keep in touch with how we are feeling. It can release a lot of tension that is within us that has been kept for a long time. There were times we feel heavy inside that we feel like bursting or want to shout. It is said that when we get out of touch with how we feel, our feelings burst out in situations and sometimes in ways that are embarrassing or inappropriate.
We must give time to reflect on our feelings. Being able to express our feelings may help us make better decisions about what is right for us.
I’ll say that this place is actually the best place to do it. We can express ourselves freely here and I’ve observed that I feel more relaxed emotionally every time I participate in here. Usually we just need someone to discuss with our feelings. I’ve seen many of them here expressing what they experience daily at home, at work, at the school, at church, at the mall, and almost everywhere. This is actually very wonderful to know that myLotters will have the benefit of being healthy emotionally.
myLot is great!

I don't know if I'd ever become a national hero, but one time a mylotter gave me an idea for future books and I asked her if she had any more ideas to let me know, she said, "But you have enough drama in your life to write a book" I laughed..If it isn't me, it's a friend going through some turmoil that I can easily turn into a good story line..
You have a good memory too sais, remembering the format problem I had was during the spring quarter, quite a long time ago considering I tried to get through a summer math course that I had to eventually drop..

You dropped your math course?
I guess I missed your discussion regarding that. I’ll give it a check later as to why you dropped it.
By the way, how many novels have you already finished? Have you ever published or printed any of them? I actually like the stories you created in your discussions even though I haven’t responded to most of them. Sometimes I’m just too overwhelmed reading that I couldn’t write anything anymore.

Oh carmela, you’re actually one of those that’s in my mind when I created this discussion. I remember those math subjects you’ve talked to and the document formats and the professor you have. I am happy as well to see that you have a lot of friends in here that supports you and listen to you and understands your situation in whatever way they can. They are very thoughtful of you and that’s one good way to be encouraged. You actually reminded me of a national hero here in the Philippines who wrote novels during war which is one of the toughest times in our country. You might as well find a career in writing novels.

Hey sais06,
I agree with you 100% think most my otters if not all of us go on here expressing how we feel and how our say was and etc. One of my recent discussion was about how I failed my driving test at the DMV and I was disappointed and sad and upset. Doing so may be realize and ho I really felt and made me feel much better hwne others starting telling me you know just work harder and you will get it the next time.
To me that's what makes Mylot a awesome site as well out of many things. Overall it's good to take the weight off of us and just have people that experience or just words of wisdom can be the simple thing that can carry the weight right off of us and holding something for so long isn't healthy and can lead to many mistakes and bad things afterwards.
A happy person all the time is going to be in Good health..
While......
A miserable person all the time will have Bad health..
Overall our emotions have a big effect on our health more then we think

So true that our emotions plays a big role in our health. I'm not very expressive personally so this is my place to cast those weights off. I'm actually finding some more benefits of myLotting other than earning money and socializing. This place has a lot of supportive members and their encouragements are really effective. They are always there to cheer you up. I'm glad to hear your story about that driving test and sharing it here makes you feel better.

hi sais I feel like mylot is better for me to express my feelings and get rid of stress than going to a mental health doctor and far less expensive too.as i have to pay my cable bill anyway and those doctors are expensive I am told. I can rant and share and feel I am among friends here. It is a great place to express our feelings and we all share so much of those feelings that we can readily sympathize with others here.yes I do agree my lot is great three

Hi Hatley
There were many times already that everytime we share what we’ve experienced; there will usually be someone who has also experienced or is experiencing that situation we have been. That particular discussion then gives us additional insights and helps us reflect towards the things that we have done. Later on we’ll realize that our understanding and thinking has been better whenever we experience that same situation again. It actually gives us the opportunity to become better of ourselves.

That was a nice experience you have there with myLot. I've noticed that there are actually many stay at home moms here. I've read several testimonies already that they somewhat found this place as a stress reliever. Being able to think more positively and creatively has also been developed in me. My thoughts tends to explore more and became more confident.

I tend to get shy when it comes to expressing what I feel personally but I'm happy that I've found the perfect place where I could do it. There were really times when it feels like there's no one to talk to because everybody is busy with their own activities but you will always be listened in here. I'm the kind of person who will just reflect alone with my thoughts but I found that it's better to discuss it with somebody else because everything becomes more clear when we does share it.

I totally agree with you. When I was just starting here, I thought I would be busy responding to discussions. I ended up interacting and sharing my emotions.
I come here and post about depresssion.
I write about funny topics.
I discuss about computer and internet problems.
I just come here when I feel like expressing how I am feeling at the moment and that is good for me most especially because doesn't bottle up inside me. I tell you,this site assists me in anger management.

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! I was just talking about it and I read another article but basically shows how expressing is so important. The inappropriate situation that's very interesting. So that's the reason why we explode, it had to come from somewhere and I didn't know where from, so it was being holded inside.

myLot has been actually an effective way for me to express my feelings and emotions. We feel sick inside if we can't let out those things that weighs on us. Yes the things that we hold inside will explode if we can't hold on anymore and will give us the tendency to do things that are inappropriate. It's like a garbage that's smells worst when it's already full.

It’s almost saying that myLot a day keeps the doctor away. We can express it in here and there's the assurance that someone will listen to you and understands you. They would usually comfort you by their inspiring words. I've been inspired here a lot of times already. It's good to encourage and be encouraged as well.

That is wonderful if you don't hide your feelings and doesn't have any problem when it comes to expressing yourselves. Those people who interact less with other people and express themselves have what is so-called emotional illness. It's always better to speak it up and discuss it so that our mind will be cleared and refreshed. Usually after doing that we'll notice that we already feel different about that and can think clearly about the situation. I have experience this many times in here.

Well you can actually still share here the experiences you have written in your diary. It’s also a good way to let other know us. The way we express ourselves helps other people know and understand us. This way we’ll have a closer relationship with other members of myLot. Of course we would want to know more about you.

Although I've encountered some members here who are mean to others, most myLotters are very helpful. Others might disagree with us but it's just normal because we have different views but many times I've been corrected with the mistakes I've done and that's great. This place gives us as well a chance to grow.

Its wonderful to be able to write and express yourself in a supportive environment with informed and honest people you are absolutely right. Its good to be able to read and listen and talk and communicate with a wide range of people. (I sometimes find though that when I need to write and really let off a lot of steam then I just write and don't put it on the web or do anything with it other than bin it as its about releasing my energy and not necessarily constructive to share with people - but that's just my take on it people express themselves in different ways.)

There are many ways actually of expressing ourselves and we need to find what's more comfortable for us. I usually like to share it here because as you have it's a supportive environment with well-informed people. It usually feels good to discuss situations and experiences where we can reflect and be able to see it in different perspectives where most of the time gives us better understanding. Just keeping those emotions alone inside makes you feel sick so it's better to let them off.
