How do you deal with “bad feelings?”
It’s been hours since I woke up with this horrible feeling in my chest, and the feeling hasn’t gone away. Sometimes I try to focus and get it out, but all I accomplish is making it worse and making it a bit harder to breathe and making my heart beat faster. I’d love to talk to someone in my life about it and try to figure it out, but my mom and stepfather would just brush me off, telling me that I’m being ridiculous and that this feeling doesn’t exist. My dad is probably asleep on the other side of the world. And I can’t bring myself to bother my brothers. My friends are all really busy lately and I don’t really want to bother them about it. So here I am, after a quick search for a subreddit where I could just let all of it out, trying to deal with it on my own and figure out how people normally deal with it.
How do you get rid of this horrible feeling?

Have you tried therapy? I still can't understand what you feeling, I mean I just woke up (well, 4 hours ago). Had a really emotional dream and wake up feeling strange. But I already forgot what it was.
If you still stuck there, there might be something deeper that you need to know. Depression is real problem. Better not brush it off and talk to the expert.
Might not help, but what I did after I woke up from that was a YouTube video. Just some entertainment that I really enjoy. But again, you shouldn't brush it off, because I know this wasn't a mental issues. I usually have weird dream anyway, and I get emotional a bit too much.
