Mood Dictionary

Not being able to express what you are feeling because you can't think of the exact word can be infuriating. Every emotion is different from each other no matter how subtle the differences are. My therapist gave me what she calls the 'Mood Dictionary' that I would like to share with you. It helped me a lot during my sessions.
