Why am I having these emotions? That should be the first thing you ask yourself, usually emotions are not brought on by physical health alone, but physical health can have a big role in it. If you are feeling depressed and lacking energy, a unhealthy diet could play a big part in that, if someone close to you dies the emotions may not be brought on by physical health but the better you are treating your body and taking care of yourself, will only add to having better emotional health regardless of the circumstance.

Make sure you are expressing your feelings in the appropriate ways. Keeping your feelings locked up can almost make you fell more secluded and more alone, it is best to talk through these feelings with someone close to you. Even if your family or friends might not be able to help you or solve your problems at least you have someone in your corner cheering for you. It is also beneficial to talk with someone that is outside of your circle of friends and family. Especially if the emotional stress is being caused by someone close to you. Getting an outside opinion will help process feelings in a different way and help you get an unbiased view of the situation.

It's very hard to get quiet time or alone time especially in such a busy and on the go world. Meditation and alone time is a great way to clear your mind of the negativity.
