Yes I can relate to a degree.

I experience every emotion very intensely. My negative ones typically don't last. I experience intense pain and then it's gone, I am not prone to depression and my intense negative feelings feel like anxiety and panic, my positive emotions are very intense too and last way longer.

My t says I do exhibit mild symptoms of bipolar or at least cyclothymia as many of my positive symptoms are very hypomanic in nature. She believes though it's not intense enough to be diagnosed and don't need to be at this point . She says it could be traits of bipolar that both me and my brother inherited from our dad and could be just how we are personality wise. We are all very intense people.

Now my t also says that we can't control what we feel but we can control what we do. Some things she suggests is living busy life style not having too much idle time maintaining healthy hobbies exercise eat healthy spend time With friends do fun funny things like distracting movies or books maintain social life etc etc
