    I've had no control over my emotions for months now. I can cycle through so many different ones multiple times a day, sometimes all within an hour or less. It's exhausting, and I don't know how to make it stop.

    I've tried writing out my thoughts and feelings. I've tried distracting myself with different activities. I've tried walking and other kinds of exercise. None of those things have helped all that much, and whenever I start to think I've made progress something happens to erase that progress. I don't know what else to do. :help:

    Hey there,
    I have found that my emotions have gone all over the place since my heartbreak last year coinciding with the loss of my aunt. If you went through an extremely distressing series of emotional events it could explain it. As time has passed things should get better.

    You could see a doctor or therapist if the problem is really extreme. I hope things get back to a more even keel soon.

    Thank you. I have been feeling more stable over the past few days, but talking to someone is something to consider. Even if it's just my mom. I'm worried that might hurt more than it will help though since this isn't really something she can do anything about.
