This is a feeling wheel! This is used to help you find the best description for what you're going through and over time improve your ability to identify your feelings.

I feel * checks wheel * Ashamed and Isolated today.

I've used this before with my kids to help them verbalize their feelings. Awesome tool!

Old but gold. It's quite useful; it's good to see it shared once more. Also, something similar (albeit in list form) was posted recently.

I frequently use freethesaurus.com to find "smacks of the same" variants.

Thank you for sharing this, opened some doors for me

This is cool, but where's "desire/unfulfilled/needy/hungry/jealous/hungry/horny"? Seems like a big chunk of the pie that they missed.

This was the first thing my therapist showed me when I started DBT therapy. I always forget to use it, even when I find myself wondering why I’m in a bad mood.

I can imagine this being useful for people who write fiction, too

I thinks that should be a poster in every english classroom. I mean in countries with other official languages.

Our teachers always had to encourage us to use other (more nuanced) words than happy and sad.

I went through a great 2 year soberiety/life change program at the union gospel mission and we used those a lot in group. I remember trying to be a bit of a jerk and trying to pick the angry ones my first few groups but as you go outwards and more specific it really got me thinking. This wheel was sooo helpful in expressing myself and getting deeper into things I needed to share both in group and solo counseling. Thanks for the share brought back some good memories!!!
