Emotional rollercoaster

[osiris]

Pathetic request really but anyone got any decent suggestions for dealing with overwhelming emotions?
I cannot stop crying this week, and if I do manage it, I swing wildly to the opposite and rant/swear and generally behave like a total angry freak.

Definitely not pathetic. Emotional regulation is something many, many of us struggle with.

I'd advise checking out the Dead Link Removed group here and paying special attention to the DBT posts.

Thanks @somerandomguy didn’t realise that existed.

Sorry to hear about the way you have been feeling. I know that journalist and seeing a counselor were helpful for me. Do you have a counselor? If so, are you able to share your emotions with them? Hope that helps!

I can relate to this. For me movement is important. Walking helps and if that isn't a option I walk in place tapping my knees. There is a video on youtube about moving your energy. Also, journaling and reminding myself that this will pass.

Many who have overwhelming emotions find breathing exercises and meditating to be helpful.
