Managing Your Emotions - Get Help for Your Emotional Dysregulation

If you are struggling to manage your emotions, I'm willing to bet that you feel like it is a lonely place in the world. No matter who you are around, you will always be judged and your feelings will always get a bad rap. This may not be fair to you, but unless you take the time to look at yourself critically, you will never really understand what is going on in your life and why you are struggling with your emotions.


People tend to look at life through the eyes of a consultant, and if you are like most people, you struggle with this as well. "This feels like a little crisis, but it's part of my personality." Well, that's true, but until you understand and accept the true depth of your feelings, you are never going to get to the bottom of them. If someone said, for instance, "You seem like you are struggling with emotions," and then proceeded to give you tips and advice, how would you react? Would you take all of the suggestions that they gave you to heart? Most likely, you wouldn't.

In order to truly feel better about yourself, it is necessary to discover what your emotions are up to. You can use this information to figure out what is causing those emotions to keep dwelling and running around in your head. That is when you start to use your healthy coping skills and techniques to correct the problem. Once you figure this out, it is then time to develop your unhealthy coping skills.

One of the reasons that people are struggling with their emotions is because they believe that everything that they are feeling is negative. They may need to make some changes to their way of thinking in order to feel better. For instance, if they believe that they are constantly feeling angry or guilty, they may need to learn to redirect these emotions toward something else. Instead of feeling angry, they might want to think of the anger as a tool that can help them gain control over a situation.

Emotional problems are very difficult to deal with and it is especially hard when you are struggling to manage your emotions on your own. If you are feeling like there is no hope for improvement, consult with a professional who can offer you insight into how you might be able to improve your situation. One of the biggest mistakes that people make when it comes to dealing with their emotions is that they try to resolve them on their own. You need to find a way to communicate with your emotions so that they feel heard and understood instead of being just ignored.

It can be very helpful if you can find someone whom you can discuss your feelings with regularly. If you find that you are struggling to manage your emotions, talking to your best friend or a counselor who you can depend on can do wonders for you. If you have tried this in the past but failed to see any improvements, it may be time to look for new coping skills to work on. Many times just talking about your feelings is all it takes to get your depression under control.

Overcoming your emotions is not something that you can learn overnight and it will take a lot of time to build up to the point where you feel like you can manage your own emotions. A good way to start is to make a list of all the things that are causing you intense feelings of depression, and talk to yourself about them. While you may be tempted to avoid these things like work and school, you should also avoid watching TV at all costs. If you find that you are feeling depressed because of work or school, it can sometimes be better to give them up altogether so that you can better manage your emotions. This means that instead of watching TV, you might find time to spend more time with friends or activities that do not cause you as much stress.


Another thing that you should do when you are struggling to manage your emotions is to make sure that you take care of yourself physically. If you are constantly sick or getting colds or having headaches, that could mean that your body is not working at its optimal level. It could indicate that there is some sort of imbalance in your body. If you are suffering from a low self esteem because of these physical problems, then it is a good idea to talk to a professional about your problems. Getting help for your emotional dysregulation can go a long way towards getting you back into shape and feeling better about yourself.
