RODBT therapist @ the group: Does anyone have any examples of situations that generated complex emotions?

Me: Well... recently, scintists identified the remains of James Fitzjames who died in the Franklin expedition for the Northwest Passage like 176 years ago... it made me feel a lot of things...

#also i need u to kno that i was wearing cat ears and had drawn a cat nose and whiskers on my face #bc our homework from last week was to engage in novel and silly behavior and i thought it would get me silly points #they had to try to figure out what compex emotions i was feeling and landed on: sadness and compassion #bc the news made me really uncomfortable. which is y i didnt rb any of the posts going around #bc something about knowing this person had been identified along with the idea that there was no one who actually knew him #to take comfort in having found him is so eerie and sad. and like of course there r ppl who kno him as a historical figure but thats not #really knowing someone. so its like celebrating for the echo of a person. and there's something sad and haunting about that #the existential horror of being only remembered by the physical effects you left on the world. by which i mean ur writing and the actions u #proformed in order to make other ppl think u were worth writing about for whatever reason #i dunno. i suppose it should b a happy thing but i guess it just makes me feel really sad. not in a bad way exactly.#just. i dunno. its weird and sad #unrelated #and then theres the additonal thing of ppl only knowing this historical figure thru the show
