Try writing it down. Try writing down thought-for-thought on paper, and you will be able to see a map of your thoughts. And, when you look at it, you will see a commonality of what is bothering you. (I, personally, feel it, also, helps with Mindfulness.)

When a lot of different emotions are clamoring for attention the result is often feeling overwhelmed or on the opposite end, going numb. Taking some time identify and listen to each feeling sometimes helps loosen the tangle. Often that means taking a break from the overwhelming situations and making time for yourself and self-care.

Hey! Great question. It can be so tough to manage our intense emotions. I think we have to recognize that acknowledging and working through these emotions rather than suppressing them is mindfulness. Though I do understand where you’re coming from. I believe a possible idea to try could be to take a break for a moment. Just leave the situation. Isolate yourself. Even if it’s by putting earbuds in and drowning everyone out. Or if you need to be polite, ask to use the restroom. Then take a moment, and just inhale, hold, exhale. You will be okay. Emotions are temporary and they shall pass, I promise you. Now gather your thoughts, think of what you will say/do, and go manage those emotions!
