How do you cope with the intensity of emotions?

StrawberryPanda April 1st, 2015

It really has a physical toll on me. Today I didn't get out of bed til 5pmit's just so tiring. I'm constantly in a state of desperation, whichever mood I'm in.

I vent online or talk to myself in private or read a book or flood my brain with music or obsessively clean my house or write in my journal...

Sometimes I find cleaning helpful too :) because it's physical. However if you saw my room you'd think otherwise :') I wish I could apply it to my room but I guess my room is a reflection of me - chaotic.

My emotions can get so intense that I can't do anything, I'm frozen in the intensity.

I wish I could have a break from it.

Even "positive" emotions get too much for me.

for example the other week I went to the restaurant my bro is training to be a chef in. When I saw him all smart in his chef uniform I went from proud to euphoric to suicidal in seconds. I felt so proud, it felt like lazor beam was going through me. I felt violently proud like nobody else is better than my brother & got upset because I need everyone in the world to see how good he is.
