Tips on managing on being too emotional?
Okay uh I rlly want to be more better as a person, I want to like manage my emotions more and I'm genuinely unaware sometimes when I'm being too much... Like I'm really dramatic and I'm suddenly so guilty out of nowhere that it's VERY concerning. My depression is toxic. It's not that I want people to take care of me or like can it be me-me-me please, I don't want that and frankly I'm not too fond of pity or whatever towards me. What I wanted was validations of what I feel, even though sometimes it isn't really right.

Sometimes I even rant abt them hoping sometimes they'd go argue with me and tell me to shut up and tell their pov because I want to understand them more.

I want to really change myself, I just don't rlly know how I can control how I feel, how can I feel less hatred towards myself just cus I did something wrong. It's all new for me bec my past relationships were like giving me punishments for doing something wrong to them.
It makes genuinely feel bad cus im here reminiscing old stuff and they did care, they did and cus of my own emotions I ruined everything. I was too selfish. I can't genuinely let go when they were like family and are literally core memories for me in living life, I think if I never met them I wouldn't have known I was capable of being friends with people again.
Hi OP, I definitely recommend therapy, and after a few sessions you may want to talk with your therapist about medication (if you're in the US they can't prescribe meds, but they can help guide you).
I would look for therapists who specialize in the DBT, dialectical and behavioral therapy model. It's specifically made for folks who struggle with th......
