Emotions unconnected to events

[KaidaPyralis]

I'm having some trouble at the moment with balancing my emotions. I feel like I'm just victim to whatever strikes me. For example the other night, I just felt like a dark cloud dropped on me. My boyfriend is away on holiday and for some reason I got this sickening weight in my stomach and just felt like he didn't love me anymore. No reason at all for thinking it, and I just started crying to the point at which I was sick from it. It happens the other way too...sometimes I just feel really happy and excited for no reason.

It's driving me mad and my poor boyfriend doesn't help cos he doesn't understand how I can feel so insecure about him out of nowhere. Its not him. Theres nothing really that seems to trigger it most of the time.

hmmm that is what it sounds like to me, i had some similar experiences that left me feeling almost crazy, when asked a trusted friend, she told me that I was leaving myself "open" and intensly feeling the emotions and situations of others, people crossing my path, not necessarily people i knew. she told me when i felt that way to stop, breathe and cross my arms with them facing down, with the intent to close myself off. This seems to really help me, also just understanding the difference between closing myself off and leaving myself open has helped (I am still learning that, but being aware seems to help)

good luck, i hope you find what you are looking for.
