Intense and Overwhelming Emotions
Some people experience intense emotions more frequently, more intensely and for longer periods of time than most other people do. You may have been told you are too sensitive, you may have intense reactions, have difficulty thinking when you are emotional, shop too much, drink too much, eat too much or sleep too much. Some people with intense emotions self harm and have suicidal urges. You may be very quick to cry, to panic and to lash out in anger. The intensity of your feelings can make each day feel like a struggle and acting on your emotions may be adding anguish and pain to your life.
Therapy can help you understand your emotions better, make sense of your emotional sensitivity and learn new skills to help you balance your emotions, tolerate distress and be more skillful in your relationships.
