The Feelings Wheel

When "fine" or "stressed" is not the truth.

The Black men we spoke to told us finding the right word for what they actually feel is one of the hardest parts. The wheel gives you more options. Pick the word that fits today.

What to do next

  • If the feeling is heavy: Go to the Mind chapter, or text SHOUT to 85258.
  • If you want to track it: Come back to this wheel tomorrow. Notice if the word changes.
  • If you want to talk to a brother: Use the Vetting Card to figure out who is safe to call.
