We are all emotional beings living our lives on an emotional spectrum that varies constantly from hour to hour, day to day. When our lives are in reasonable control in a balanced way, we call these variations moods.When our lives are not satisfying and in balance, and are also experiencing additional pressure in life we call this stress.
If our situation worsens, we can become emotionally distressed and may experience varying levels of anxiety, depression, panic, rage and tearfulness unable to concentrate or make decisions that are helpful to us.
We may sometimes lose interest even in enjoyable things and can often become despair and may lose all hope. These are all normal human responses when we are overcome by life. These responses tell us to pay attention and do something (but are not designed to tell us what!)
