How to Identify Depression, Sadness, Disappointment and Negative Emotions from Your Handwriting | S.Sulianah | Grapholistic International

It might not be easy to tell people about how you feel when you are disappointed, upset or sad about a situation you are experiencing because sometimes you feel like you could not trust them enough to share about how you feel. Or it is not easy for you to express your feelings into words.
 
Then, you ended up keeping it to yourself. Yes, sometimes it works but at times it might not.
 
By keeping your feelings to yourself, you might feel constricted, then you tend to question your capabilities, and not believing in yourself. Feelings of paranoid will emerge.
 
These feelings of sorrow can be caused by any factors that you are experiencing such as loss of someone, holding on to your past, worrying about your future, disappointed because of failures, things that did not turn out as you have imagined. You then tend to loss interest with yourself and anything that you are doing.
 
Take note that this video is not to diagnose any psychological conditions related to depression or emotional conditions. This is merely to help you learn to be self-aware of your emotions, and character at the moment.
 
By looking into analyzing your handwriting, this is one of the ways for you to more insights about yourself and observe whether you are really experiencing the moments of hopelessness or negative emotions. 

1. Descending Baseline on Your Handwriting

Descending Baseline - Grapholistic International

Firstly, check the baseline of your handwriting.
 
Place your ruler on the baseline. Take the first 2 or 3 lines, the middle and the ending part of your essay.
 
Where is the baseline direction heading towards?
 
If you are experiencing a negative emotion such as disappointments, upset, wanting to give up, lose interest in yourselves and life, the baseline you will see will tend to descend or vary up and down inconsistently. 

2. Ascending Baseline Above 10​°

​However, on the other hand, if your baseline is ascending above 10 degrees, with other supporting traits such as being too sensitive, nervousness, tiredness, this could mean that you are experiencing that sorrow and gloomy emotions but is trying to fight against it.  

3. Striking-off Your Signature

The third trait to observe is your signature. If you strike-off your signature, it signifies the possibility of you disliking yourself and not having the spirit to explore life.

4. Descending Baseline Signature

Then, the next trait you can check is your signature’s baseline.
 
Most of the time, signature’s baseline usually match with your main text. As we have learnt in earlier video, main text is the part where you write your essay.
 
So, if your signature matches your main text with the baseline descending, it means that it is consistent that you feel the same – the feelings of dejection, low level of energy, fatigue even when you are socializing. That is the same as how you are portraying yourself to others. 

5. t-Bar Low in the Middle Zone

​The last handwriting trait is where you placed your t-bar on your t-stem. When you placed it low on the middle zone, that is a sign of low goals, and low perception of yourself.
 
If you are not having a positive impression about your achievements and what you can or cannot do, you will end up not being happy towards yourself, your life and the environment surrounding you. Then this depressive outlook towards your life will develop gradually over the years.

Remember that even though you have these traits, it doesn’t mean they are in a depressive phase.
 
You have to also make sure what is your writing position, the rhythm of your handwriting, pressure, other strokes and whether your handwriting is consistent with all those traits every time you write. If it is same, then it can be seen as embedded in your personality. However, if not, highest possibilities are that you are only having that emotion at that moment.
