The point that I relate to is that no one can understand me. I don't know when I first realize and feel that but when I did, I start to appreciate my mother more since she is the one that fully understands me, or tries to understand me. She also, the one who tries to get my other family member to understand me. Actually, this realization doesn't really make me sullen through the past  years but made me start writing down my feelings so I could have a better understanding of my self.

I believe it was the part when the author stated that adults don’t really understand us, or that’s how us teens feel. I tend to become incredibly frustrated with why adults have such a problem/difficulty to understand how we feel, or why we do things. Most of the time adults don’t even care to listen to your reasoning or logic which is even more frustrating. It seems rather malevolent, that they don’t even give us a chance to explain ourselves.

when we understand that there are a lot of biological and main differences between us, we understand each other better. that makes us know how to deal with each other in different situations and problems and actually find out what caused those and try to avoid the source. this makes us know more about each other's nature so we can communicate better.

Differences
help us understand ourselves and make our own personality out of it. If everyone is the same life wouldn’t be the same everything someone does everyone else will do it, but if everyone has their differences it’s how we can find new things in life, new meaning, new adventures, new creations. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. when he said his speech, he changed the world he made everyone think differently and, no one would do what he did because people tried to be the same and he was the only one that stood out and said that, he got the people to stand up and speak and helped the community come together. And that’s why I think being different is a good thing.

Understanding our basic differences has a crucial importance in the building of the set of morals and principles that will make up a society. It is therefore is going to be the basic building block of communication between both genders, and not to mention that having a rigid, solid, and clear understanding of the basic differences between men and women will ease the path for next generations to commune. There are inevitable differences that we can not disregard so it is our duty to set an example and look for justice in order to unite the community on common grounds.

we have to understand the differences between both genders in order to understand each other's personality. Therefore, we can be capable in dealing with each other's struggles and know how to communicate with each other in a better way

How can the gender differences be actually a positive thing?
A positive outcome could be that once we understand the way the other gender is built or how it works it could really help us be able to cope with biological reactions like how men are much more agressive then women and that women are supposedly more fragile then men. Knowing that some things can not be changed but controlled or acknowledge, it would give us a lot of space to expanse on our relationships with each other.

well a big part of the issue comes from the misunderstandings and the inability to successfully communicate and deliver our ideas in the right way to the opposite gender and if we tackle this issue and educate both genders about each other I believe that we might succeed in living in a bit of peace with each other (anyhow if you want a quick solution i support the movement of #killallmen2020 ❤.....lowkey just kidding ;)

a moment when I didn't understand a feeling

# data[].attributes.body
the only thing I can think of is when a relative died, and everybody seemed to be sullen and shocked, while I was searingly calm, and I didn't feel like I was suppressing my emotions, so for me, instead of being sad and cry, I was kind of happy and didn't feel any type of apprehension. when I look back to this now, I feel so dumb. an explanation that I can think of is that I was shocked like everyone, but my brain couldn't fully understand what happened, so I just stayed normal until my brain fully got what was happening that day

# data[].attributes.body
Think of a time when you had a feeling that you couldn’t understand. Think about it now . Based on what you learned about emotions so far give a list of possible explanations. Which of these explanations is true and why? ( Use the vocabulary words in your response) regulate - solidify - thrive - tune out - menacing - suppress

The one thing I can think of when I read that is, one day something traumatising happened to me while I was on a trip and during that situation I remember I just froze and I didn’t know what I was supposed to feel or do and, after it happened I was still frozen and not understanding my emotions. Hitherto I was still rememberer that day and I still don’t understand what I felt and what I do feel about it and if i do i feel like i was suffering.

The last time I felt anxious was when I had a fight with my old friend I was afraid that we wouldn’t be friends after it and it made me very anxious and I didn’t handle it well and because I was anxious I did lose my friend which also made me mad then I felt a wave of Apprehension it made me go all over the place and, I know next time I should definitely control myself and I should be distant from people for just a few hours so I can control it a bit more

What is the them of the Story of an Hour? How did you know it was the theme?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences; veiled hints that revealed in half concealing. Her husband’s friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard’s name leading the list of “killed.” He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message.

•Knowing the effect of negative emotions on your health what do you think you should do with this knowledge ?

# data[].attributes.body
the last time I  felt anxious was 2 days ago or something near this because I was stressed about my terrible time management skills that will lead me to complete failure If I got anxious I would usually keep being anxious until the day ends which would give me a lot of apprehension and stress and makes me think that whatever will happen in that day will be a catastrophe but now I realized that maybe I can manage my anxiety by distracting myself a bit and try to replace my thoughts with positive ones that will make me feel better.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that knowing or noticing that you are about to get angry or lose control of your emotions is an elusive mission because it just happens your brain will never tell you "oh we are losing control" it just happens without you realizing. maybe if we started practicing yoga meditation or any other activity that clams us down before anything we will be able to get less angry or stressed whenever something terrifying happens to us.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion I believe that the theme will be related to how people can be unable to have their freedom and independence because the main character kept shouting "free,free" when her husband died which means that she will have her freedom after a lot of suffering. maybe another theme that would be suggested by the story would be related to marriage and love since the husband was kind with the wife but not loving and maybe she showed the same feeling

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that with the knowledge I learnt I can now know shy do I have certain feelings and why should I try fixing my negative emotions with positive thoughts but not actually removing my negative emotions or getting rid of them . also knowing this knowledge will help me know the bad effects that a certain feeling will have on my mental and physical health which will make me more motivated to actually fight that feeling with a positive thought or trying to have more control over it.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the way she proposed is kind of effective and maybe enough to control our emotions. As the human emotions are so complicated that even adults can't process them sometimes...so imagine how hard it is for children/young adults.Sometimes the most common answer to "why we lose control over our emotions?" is that that we don't understand them in the first place so they get tumultuous and overwhelming. First step is to lear  about how our emotions work to get a better grasp at understanding them. Secondly to try to find our "happy place" in our mind by experiencing lots of strategies-suggested by professionals or even invent one our own- in order to find the most suitable one for ourselves.Understanding our emotions can be a long,hard,tough journey but it's definitely worth it.

# data[].attributes.body
Knowing the horrendous side effects of negative emotions really scared me and made me realise how much they are not only "bad feelings" in fact they physically affect my body too!!. I think that the only logical step that my dear cerebral cortex is suggesting right now is try to talk to myself more. Well yes as you heard it and as crazy as it sounds but i NEED to sit with myself and understand myself better in order to help myself get over those emotions if possible and progress as a person.♡

Last time I was anxious was today, today I had a bunch of speeches to make in a conference and it made me feel really anxious cause I didNt want to mess up in front of the other people and it made me feel extremely stressed and want to strive to impress the others. The reason for this apprehension is cause I want please to exalte me; think highly of me and such, even after the speeches I felt like it was genuinely a catastrophe.

Generally one would feel the need to avoid such negative emotions ,however, with the anxiety that I have, it really makes it worse. Knowing that apprehension , and emotions in general, actually affects my health or possibly kill me is causing me greater anxiety than imaginable, it is elusive to control such anxiety which kind of makes things worse. Trying to impose numbness or less anxiousness on yourself Is difficult, seeing as it isn’t a task that can be done so simply, especially knowing that suppressing such emotions cause an even worse outcome then working them out. This came out a little more lament than expected however it’s better confronting problems then suppressing and keeping them stoic. And as teens say now a days, thank you for listening to my ted talk :)

Do you know someone who might be depressed ? How did today’s information help you gain insight into this person’s state? Use the words in your answer :
insipid = dull

Melancholy = sadness with no obvious cause

dejection = sad / depressed state

Unsusceptible  = not easily harmed or influenced

Elapse = time pass

Irremediable = impossible to cure

Wretchedness = poor quality / unfortunate state

# data[].attributes.body
What about depression is still vague to you and why ?

# data[].attributes.body
I guess I have a friend who is depressed but his depression is not like a melancholy or with no reason she suffers from what she thinks of as irremediable depression because she lost her father a couple of years ago and after time elapsed she got a bit better but still she can become depressed for 2 months then feels good for 1 week from what I learned today I realized that I shouldn't keep telling that everything is fine and you are strong and all this but I should ask her to seek mental help from a professor and maybe just helping her by finding some places that are responsible for mental health in our city

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like depression itself was a highly depressing topic but I guess that I need to know more about the types of depression and how to deal with depressed people and what other mental illness could depression lead to and what are the mental illnesses that can lead to depression

# data[].attributes.body
I don't know people suffering from depression, but the knowledge I gained today taught me how to deal with people who are feeling depressed in general . and also made me more aware of the problem that depressed people are facing which get me to empathize with them and makes me want to help them if I get to know them.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the theory almost completely. I say almost because i feel like people can be put into more than four categories, seeing as four might be a little too small, though each category does make complete sense.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I agree with the theory to a certain extent I believe that not everything is true because I met friends that are literally a mix of all the types he mentioned and sometimes some of the things can apply to people and others not. What is true is that I discovered my attachment style and how I am not really self reliant and that I like to feel the attention from the people that I care about all the time which can sometimes sabotage the whole friendship.

After learning something or two about mental illness what new perspectives did you gain? Use the vocabulary words in your response.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a considerable number of people who suffer from schizophrenia and other mental illnesses like depression and those people will show a maladaptive behavior what really changed in me is that I knew that I should not really advice people to be strong or to take medications I should try helping them and the step to become better should come from them

What are other questions come to your mind after reading this Wikipedia article : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_mechanism

# data[].attributes.body
Have you witnessed self defense mechanisms in yourself or others ? Discuss which was it and tell what do you think of it ?

# data[].attributes.body
I guess I am the projection and regression type and I think that I need to control the projection type of me since it affects too negatively and I think that the regression person of me can be healthy sometimes and it prevents me from dealing with my anger or sadness in a negative way.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not sure if this considers as a self-defense mechanism, but I tend to smile and say many irrelevant things when I am in a serious situation because I feel uncomfortable. And this results in people(mostly teachers) scolding me thinking that I not taking them seriously and I'm making fun of them.

# data[].attributes.body
i guess i rely on repression or sublimation the most, since i'd rather choose to hide the painful memories, or thoughts, than facing them or doing some exercises, for example walking for an hour, whenever i feel angry or anxious.

# data[].attributes.body
I suppose mine is the intellectualization and acting out as I tend to try distancing myself from others or isolate myself whenever I think or feel any slight feeling of rejection or dislike from them and the acting out is that when I am angry or something I usually become very hostile and throw tantrums. (that's it I guess :)

•What misconceptions about dreams did you have that this lesson corrected? ( Use the words please)

# data[].attributes.body
•Do you think sleep deprivation contributes to worsening mental state ? How?

# data[].attributes.body
I have always thought that dreams happen in the stage when we are not fully in deep sleep and that our brain turns to this kind of cinema when we sleep so we can see dreams so it is just like a movie and it has nothing to do with reality. I thought that when we have a recurring dream it is because we did not remember the dream when we woke up so our brain wants to repeat it so we enjoy it again. I know that all those thoughts are really childish and weird but that was how I used to think of dreams

# data[].attributes.body
well, yes I think that the less we sleep the more we will be stressed, mad and angry on the next day and I think that this happens because when we sleep less hours our brain will not have enough time to kind of recreate or rest or renew itself and the particles of it because I think that it takes us like and an hour and a half or two to become in the really deep stage of sleeping where our brain somehow rests or recreates the particles so if we slept less our brain will not have enough time to be awoke and healthy for the next day which will result in a bad mood and will affect our mental state

# data[].attributes.body
i always thought that bad dreams are a message from god that something bad might happen, however it turned out that it is not true and it's from the devil

# data[].attributes.body
yes i guess since people with mental health problems are more likely to have insomnia or other sleep disorders; therefore, an alternation in our sleeping schedule might affect our mental health.
