Not all of us react to life events in the same way. Some of us may have BIG emotions, that feel out of control sometimes. Some of us may be more sensitive than others. The emotions can come out of no where, and leave you feeling like you’re on a roller coaster from hell that you can’t get off. No matter how hard you try to be “chill”, “calm”, “good”, etc. it never seems to be enough. You start to second guess and doubt yourself. Leaving you to hate yourself and feel empty, lost, and just make everything worse.
