Not every emotion we carry is fully acknowledged, understood or felt. Some feelings are 'unprocessed' from within.

For example, many of our uninterpreted worries may show up as powerful directionless anxiety. Someone may have abused our trust or violated our self-esteem. We may feel compelled to remain busy, fear spending time on our own or do activities that ensure we don't meet what scares us head-on. These activities can include internet pornography, tracking the news or exercising compulsively. 

Our minds may grow unoriginal. We grow depressed about everything because we are sad about something.  We can no longer sleep because we omitted to process all the thoughts of the day. 

 We avoid processing emotions because what we feel is opposite to our self-image and threatening to our society's ideas of normality. However, we need compassion for ourselves.
