Dealing with underlying edmotions

I've been on an on-and-off rollercoaster of emotions. I'm not under any severe distress, just to make that clear. When I woke up this morning/afternoon (about 11:50 am or 12 pm), I felt some anxiety, emptiness, "weird-ness", and other feelings that I can't really explain. When I woke up, I took a couple deep breaths (in my nose and out my mouth) to see if that would help but I think I only saw slight progress. I even tried reminding myself that "this is just anxiety talking to you and it's not real" and "these are just emotions and not reality".

There are some events that I'm trying to get over from the past and I think that could be responsible for the "emotional crisis" that I'm having. For about a week, something has been bothering me and I haven't found a solid solution. Some of these feelings can't really be explained. It is almost like having a scratch on your body, then you scratch it but it still itches. It's almost like I'm trying to solve it but there still seems to be an underlying problem.

I want to speak to a counselor but I may have to wait until the school year starts (college student).

Ultimately, I just want to feel better in so I can move forward.

Any advice? Input?

Maybe it stems from embarking on new changes in your life?

I found this regarding letting go of stuck thoughts.
