I recommend that you try to figure them out here or by talking to a therapist. Doing this would help you to know what your emotions are and what they mean and then you could take control of them.

Start of by trying to figure out what you are feeling, what is causing it, and who do you trust to talk to about this? Then go from there and figure out ways you can control, or just change how you are feeling by daily actions or by making bigger positive changes.

Sometimes, doing simple everyday things like deep breaths and walking helps you physically with releasing any adrenaline you may have and clearing your mind. Once you can get a less muddled perception of yourself, emotions start to become much more cooperative and understandable.

Sometimes it may be beneficial to try and identify your emotions. Work through them, see what the triggers are, or what causes these emotions. Try and take a step back and look at it objectively. If you can identify the causes, or thoughts that trigger emotions then it could be possible to begin to identify and learn to control.

My mom used to tell me that we can't quite control how other people act. We also can't control our own emotions. It's how we react to feeling these emotions that we can control. Technically, you can't control your emotions. Still, you should try to find why you're feeling the way you're feeling so that you can maybe find out how to address them. That's the first place to start.

Emotions are hard or can't be controlled. Its good if you can find a way to handle the emotions and deal with then rather then control them.

In my experience, when I'm feeling emotional and I just don't know why, I listen to music. Sometimes the lyrics of a song will put my own feelings into words, and that helps me to decompress and really evaluate why I feel the way I do.
