I'd say you just have very high emotions and there is nothing wrong with that. People feel what they feel and deal with it in all ways.
What I've learned to do is try to slow my mind down and be one in the moment. Sometimes writing or listening to music helps, or doing something that pulls your mind away from all those racing thoughts.
Take care of yourself and if you need anything, message me.  |
Thanks so much.
Those are good suggestions, especially since it's important for me to have outlets. I haven't been writing a lot, so maybe that's something I should get back into. I do use music a lot and play songs that I relate to quite frequently. What you said about having to "stay in the moment" is something I definitely need to do more often.
I've learned a bit about mindfulness and wish my therapist did more of that stuff with me. Maybe I can ask her since I need help training myself to "stay in the moment." I've tried meditation, which can sometimes help, but when my anxiety is so high, it's difficult, but I do have my PRN meds to help slow the racing thoughts more, although that only helps to a point. I wish I wasn't so emotional, but maybe I need to work harder at accepting that I am, rather than fighting so hard against this.
