Shame
Meh:
Just thinking of the toxic emotion cocktail of it all.
Few years ago I got on a ferry-boat. As the boat was leaving the dock I felt a panic attack coming on because I was "stuck on the boat".
I know this is a version of "claustrophobia" something that I hadn't really had a lot of.

I looked at this article and noticed how they say they are somewhat clueless about the cause of it. I think: "come on how dumb can they be"....and I also see that there is the suggestion to give anti-depressants for it.
For the things that they say "We don't know what causes it but taking antidepressants might help"---Errhhh really?
I know what causes it, it's anxiety and the feeling of powerlessness, the memory of being controlled by others and not having one's own will and fear of not getting the care needed.
I don't think it has anything to do with shame.
Then on the other hand maybe I should explore shame in relation to other co-occurring (would that be concurring?)
emotions.
Does shame and anxiety go together?

Huh, I don't know could I come up with an algorithm for the emotional cocktail that SUCKS and also an algorithm for the emotional cocktail that doesn't suck?

Just interesting stuff: http://emotionsblog.history.qmul.ac.uk/?paged=3
* Shame
* low grade continuous Anxiety
* Panic Attack
* "Depression"
* Stress
* Stuckness
* Discouragement
* lies and confusion
I guess I figure since SHAME itself is a little elusive to me. Maybe another emotion can access it. Like fear.
Is shame really an emotion?

Okay so if I was going to make an emotional flowchart in MS Word and print it out on paper. What should I remember to include?
I don't think emotions are rules or that the human being is as plain as a flowchart but there is something about maybe putting it on paper that is like "Naming it".....If I name it then it becomes more tangible and maybe even over-come-able
Like Shame itself should it be broken down into smaller sub-areas.
You know flow charts, with circles and boxes and connecting lines and arrows. Because that is sort of what emotions are. Like all these tangled up things that are invisible but we feel them and they impact our lives.
So why not conceptualize it on paper in boxes. There it is, inside that box. That is what people do for war strategy probably, that is what people do for business strategy, football strategy. Why not?
Okay, any ideas.
Meh:
Just algorithm examples that have emotions in them
One with humor:
