Hello! I am new!
Hi!
My name is April and I joined here this week. I am trying to better myself and maybe understand a little more of what goes on in my head and how I can manage it in a productive manner.

Hey April, same. Everything feels inescapable and I can't seem to find the space to process... I'm feeling very reactive and I'm having difficulty slowing my escalating emotions over seemingly small issues. I know a lot of it is tied to literally being quarantined in a shared space, and I also know that a lot of it is my own patience wearing thin and my own issues pushing through. I am extremely scared right now, and I don't know what to do, and I don't want to take it out on others... why does it seem so much easier for them? I resent my roommates, both for being "normal" and for expecting me to be.

Hi Alyssa. Same. I have always seemed to have trouble managing my emotions and I hate it that I have gotten so upset over something so small. And it makes me more frustrated when I realize I shouldn'tbe upset! I have been trying to redirect those feelings by singing (really loud lol) or dancing crazy-like. It seems to help me get the frustration out. I sometimes feel like there is another "thing" inside me and I can't reason with it when it is present. It is extremely frustrating! Is there something like that that helps you? What do you take passion in?
