Emoticons and Health

Yolanda Brunson-Sarrabo

Ever been to a doctor's office to see that poster of how you're feeling today- from worst to best? Well, sometimes you may be feeling okay mentally but not physically or vice versa. The accuracy of this little helper is not perfect but needs to fill and improve upon some grey areas.

If you can make your own emoticon what would it represent in how you're feeling today?

Purple, sad eyes, and little butterflies going around my head

I truly understand 😒➡️ 😃. To pick an emoticon from the ten faces, tells the Dr nothing... so much more to describe how feeling. Just as you described. Good idea!

  Exactly, they try to come up with ways to understand the tribulations but sometimes the attempt falls by the wayside.

Emoticons are fun, but I agree with Sophia! There is so much going on in this body. If I were to describe it I think it would be 😕😳😣😫😵😳🤧🙄 on repeat daily! 🤪

Which means: I'm annoyed which blows my mind and then the AC made me freezing so I turned it off and then started to boil which made me feel sleepy but it turned out I was hot due to a low-grade fever so I opened the mail with a hospital bill which made me furious and then decided I don't want to talk about any of it and decided to play video games instead.

Perfectly obvious, I think. Keep on keepin 'on, DPM
