I am struggling with knowing how to recognise what emotion I am experiencing. I am finding it difficult to know what exactly is triggering emotions and extreme reactions. I am totally confused and my emotions control me. I have been told I need to stop letting them control me and I need to control them.

It seems an overwhelming task and I just don't know where to begin.

I have done DBT but I couldn't get my head around the emotion regulation and it's not worked for me. I wonder if that is my fault or if it is just difficult for me to put into practice. I feel I am being blamed for it not working.

I hate how it ruins things daily for me, I am so reactive.
