You're young so you don't know how your emotional/ mental health will develop as you get older, but that isn't any reason to suffer needlessly, you know.

Personally, I'm a heavy thinker as well. My medication has shaved some of the emotional highs and lows that used to come with my though processes. But the catch is depression did this too.
What do you mean that depression shaved some of the emotional highs and lows?
