Summary
Have you experienced any emotions today? Of course, you have. Perhaps you were irritated when your alarm woke you from a peaceful slumber thereby reminding you to go to class this morning. Maybe your roommate had already made the coffee, which cheered you up slightly. Such feelings are an integral part of human experience. When your emotions are functioning appropriately, they can help you navigate life by giving you a way to assess how the current situation aligns with your goals and to help prepare you to face new challenges. When your emotions are not functioning properly, you may find it difficult to deal with stressful situations, which may lead to social or occupational problems over time.
