You have a lot of things in your mind which causes to have mixed emotions and have a difficulty in controlling them. You should start on focusing with one thing first, when you've learned how to deal with it. You can go on to the next.

I think, it is all in your head. Calm down, do some yoga, talk to someone, listening to music, read and tell yourself that everything is okay.

Emotions will come and go often, the idea is to know the right time and place to deal with them. Shutting your emotions off will only cause an emotional build up that can cause an ugly outburst.

Probably, it is because you are accepting your emotions as who you are rather than something that you are experiencing. Maybe, you are also judging your emotions and consequently judging yourself because of having those emotion. I think you have to remind yourself that these things are going on, they can really be intense but somehow, they will go away if we just remain calm and remind ourselves that the emotions are not who we are.

Because there is no answer to controlling your emotions. Your emotions aren't looking to be controlled they are wanting to be acknowledged. Although you may be feeling your emotions how you acknowledge them is simple but hard to accept or admit. Take time alone to be mindful of your emotions. When you understand what you feel ,say to your self, "I feel _________. I feel this way because________. It’s okay to feel__________, because I understand that this is only a feeling and it will pass in time. The only person who truly will understand you is your self. So use your inner self to console your feelings. We’re all human, but we all process emotions differently. Namaste.

Because we are so caught up in our thoughts and we enjoy watching the same movie in her head in a replay mode. This then takes away our focus on everything else and shifts that particular focus only on the stuff that hurt us the most. Then the emotions go out of control. So it is important not to attach an emotion towards the situation or thought. This then allows us to shift our focus on other stuff and helps to keep our emotions under check. It comes with practice and mindfulness is the key for this to bring under control
