Post History

At my work I have it usually easy. I have visual media to represent strong emotions, but we can extrapolate.

First ask yourself what is the consequence of suppressed strong emotion for longer period time (That is individual - go by guts what you feel your character can handle).

**For negative emotion** it is often anxiety, stress and in extreme condition self-destructive behavior (punching the wall, window, biting lips). All three of these stages can be represented by action when exposed to a trigger of the suppressed emotion. Let's try example with your vampires. 

Your hero lived 10 years after the incident with father in peace, he did not want include his innocent family into his private war. Then his son perhaps might wanna go as a vampire on Halloween and your hero explode in rage on his own son and gives him undeserved lecture about Vampires. - _This could be example of suppressed emotion where he hurts even those he loves. He verbally perhaps even physically attacked his son for reminding him the pain_

**Positive emotions** often have consequential symptoms similar to Bipolar Disorder. Your desire to share the news or the simple celebration is strong within you and current situation does not allow it or you are waiting for you loved ones to come. But they did not come and you become very depressed that you cannot share your happiness. Here depends in what phase the Hero is confronted, he might either act manic being hyperjoyed, unfocused, hyperactive or act depressed and hurt.

**Example of bad mood-swing would be:**
Your Hero successfully eliminated another vampire. He comes home and his wife is angry at him for coming late again. He explode on her with unrelated blame because she does not realize what he does for her, keeping her alive! And he cannot tell her, for her he is just a looser husband. _- he instantaneously mood-swing to depression because he cannot share his success, sharing success is what made social media addictive success. People need that_

**Example of good mood-swing would be:**
Your Hero successfully eliminated another vampire. He comes home and his wife is angry at him for coming late again. Instead of snapping at her, he tells her "We can finally go to nice dinner at night, I spiked Andreas, straight through the hearth! You know what..." he start throwing money from his pocket, the blood money, "we go right now, we go to Ramseys, no! We fly to Ramsey's at London and have that Fish and Chips we always dreamed off!" _- here you I would think that he just get rid of some vampire, but there are more. Andreas was pain in his but for a long time and he is manic about his death, feeling invincible, doing decisions like flying right now 6000 miles to London to have Fish and Chips.
