Having too many emotions at once can be overwhelming but not insuperable. One possible solution is to get a pen and paper and write down everything you are feeling. Then try to assign a number to each emotion in terms of apparent importance to you and then attempt to deal with each emotion in chronological order. Some numbers will fall away as you go through the list and some will be just too difficult to deal with at a certain point in time. Talk to someone as they may be able to give you some pointers to dealing with emotional turmoil.

You can sit down, relax, and just breath for a few minutes. Focus in one thing at once. Maybe while doing it you colud play relaxing music.

Journaling can help and I've seen others that have had success with this. Sometimes this is a great option for people who don't have anyone they can absolutely trust, to vent to.

Take a long hot bath and forget about all of your thoughts for a few moments, they should return to you slower and more spaced out allowing you time to process better.

By trying to calm yourself. Forget about those emotions for awhile and try to do something that you love like drawing, singing or simply hanging out with your dog, friends or family.

When we feel like we are facing a thousand emotions all at once it can make us feel so overwhelmed. However like most 'overwhelming' situations often a good tactic is to attempt to break it down into smaller sections so that it appears more managable. I would first question if you are able to identify your emotions individually (or do they appear jumbled) if so think what it is 'similar' to in the overall sense and pick 3 descriptions eg. 'Fear' 'anger' 'sadness'. Once you have done this you should feel more in control. So the next step depends on you either 'riding the wave of emotion' hopefully with someone who cares for you nearby or attempting to combat it. If you decide to combat it then it's worth considering what has worked for you in the past with that emotion and if you don't know, identify what has worked for other people (a Google search of 'how to deal with ..... emotion' may be helpful) for example when I am angry I sometimes find that vigorous excercise can help.

Its natural for human beings to have too many emotions at a time. The best way to deal with them is to identify how each of them is bothering you. Only that way can you find solutions to them and gain control over them. So don't run away, instead figure out the root cause of those emotions and act accordingly.

It is exceptionally hard to deal with overwhelming feelings all at one time. It can start to feel like there is no way out or that the walls are moving in on you and leaves you feeling paralyzed. Sometimes it is helpful to give yourself room to feel those emotions and allow yourself to cry or go for a strenuous run around the neighborhood. What I have found that helps to process my feelings is to keep a journal next to my bed and write down what is on my mind or in my heart. You can even have a ceremony to burn that book once all of your feelings are expressed. I feel that it freed me from feeling overwhelmed, other friends have felt that writing in a journal helped them sort out their thoughts and feelings and you may find the same freeing experience in writing and then, burning the book to set that negativity and pain-free.
