I KNOW it makes no sense. that's why I'm in therapy.
No it does make sense. The part that seems confusing is that no one can control so many emotions. You can control a little bit a little, like when you get angry you need to stay somewhat in control. But our feelings weren't meant to be stuffed away and then controlled and this is what makes this feel so crazy. In therapy you can release all of these stuffed feelings over time and then you won't need to control them so much.
