Emotional Constipation

Don't bother read this if you are stuck up but we're not talking about real poop so you can chill if you want but  before I go on any further, yes ! girls poop, even though some like to pretend they don't.

Onwards.

My last memory of constipation was when I was about 8( I think). You know that age when you don't always eat the things that are good for you and water is just about the most boring beverage on the face of the earth?. Yes, that age and yes, that dreadful experience.  Speaking solely from a health perspective, constipation was my worst nightmare as a child. I didn't like the sick feeling of needing to go and not being able to. It was a mild medical matter that simply went away on its own however emotional constipation took its place and on any given day feels just as bad as the real thing.

This must seem really disgusting I suppose. Unbecoming even, for a woman to sit here and talk to the world about shit and then for her to sit and talk to the world about emotional shit but honestly, how many of us can truly say that when things are backfiring that "SHIT" isn't the first thing that comes to mind.

"Oh Shit"
"Oh Shait"
"what??.....this is shit!!!"
"You mad? no! aa, thats shait"
"Thats bullshit"
"maaaaaaassssiay" *response to an unbelievably  shitty situation*
*i'm in deep shit*
* explaining a messed up situation to someone*  "the shit hol me"/"caca dlo muchay pweh mweh la"

Whenever there is drama.There is shit. Someone is either flinging the shit or feeling like they're in it.

You see,this is where the English language confuses many.
Too feel like shit is a bad thing.
If you say "I feel LIKE shit" you mean that you feel terrible.
If you say "I am the shit" that means you're the bomb.com, you feel amazing.


Emotional constipation is a bad thing though. Unless you are entirely the shit, then partial shittyness is unacceptable. Shit is always best OUT than in and if you can't get your emotional shit out of your mind, then you my friend are in DEEP SHIT and will most likely feel like shit and if you feel like shit for too long, then you're going to start to look like shit.

When things bother us, sometimes it can be very difficult to speak up or say no to whoever is perpetuating our stress/emotion constipation. Your personality type has a lot to do with who easily prone you are to emotional constipation.

I'm still trying to understand who I am. I know that I am extroverted and I know that I can be introverted. With these two different personality classifications, I can find myself in lots of situations, warranting lots of different thoughts and causing lots of different emotions. It is very easy to get emotionally constipated when you find yourself walking the thin line between both personalities. You want to speak your mind but you've been there to experience the consequences of your words bombing all about the place and its not pretty. Now, you're at the junction where you're trying to avoid such a situation. Sometimes you might feel like you're afraid of yourself or your words or what they might do to someone else if you HONESTLY say whats on your mind.It can be a very confusing time and its easy for people to shut down verbally and then shut down emotionally.

However!..Tuh tuh na na!!..Stella to the rescue...with some emotional milk of magnesia.

Knowing what caused your constipation is always a good thing. Most times,physically..doctors would recommend more fibre and water. Emotionally, I think its good to know what you haven't been doing enough of to keep your life in balance. Emotional constipation happens easily when we go far beyond our limit and tolerate things that are no good for us.

Example: This is you.This is your friend. You guys have a good relationship however they say little things ever so often that simply don't sit right within your spirit. You IGNORE it and because your friend is ignorant of how their behaviour irks you, they continue innocently. One day, you friend says a very ass thing and you erupt..threatening to grind their bones to make your bread. Essentially, you lost it. In other words...you just got passed your emotional constipation.

Many persons have done irreparable damage to relationship because they could not nip matters in the bud. 

Speaking your mild whilst an issue is small  is the best way to prevent something catastrophic from happening.

In my own experience, persons were not always happy when I said what was on my mind, but I had the inner peace of knowing that I addressed something troubling whilst remaining true to how I really felt. For the most part TACT will be your emotional milk of magnesia.

You swollow that "tact" and you're going to have a fine understanding of what  to say, and HOW to say it...all down to the fine details of whether you should speak your feeling in front of a volatile person or if you should shield yourself with social media.

I have a great understanding of my shortcomings when it comes to self expression and so..I always try to ask God to intervene...you know, set a guard over my mouth and such so that I don't set people and the world ablaze whilst verbally painting the the images in my mind..and feelings in my heart.

Soulfully Abrupt.
I end ,when my inspiration does...
Till  next time, thanks for reading.
I hope the coming week brings you good emotional fibre and refreshing spiritual water ,that you find it easy to open your mouth..and emotional "go"..or at the very least the courage to say no.
