Holding it in

    How can I express my emotions? I mean, I already express them through writing and by what music I listen to, and I blow up sometimes and start yelling but no one ever really listens. My family gets tired that I'm so angry all the time, but I don't want to be angry anymore. They don't know what it feels like to be so angry all of the time and I don't know whats wrong with me. I can't talk to them because they don't listen. I can't talk to a counselor because I always get too fake and end up talking about other things that don't matter. And I talk to my best friend but the only thing she can do is talk to me and make me feel better, but she can't stop it from happening. I don't mean to be so angry, and it scares me. Everything I feel scares me, even happiness because I'm always wondering how soon until I'm angry or sad again. It changes so quickly and I can't handle it..... What do I do?

    I know how you feel because i was going through it and i never understood why i was so angry all the time... until it got to the point that i wanted to hurt myself and i hit rock bottom and i knew i never wanted to be that sad and angry all the time so i went to talk to a therapist... and that day i got submitted to a center where i talked to 2 psychiatrists.... they both helped me tremendously... I felt so much better, they had started me on meds but it takes awhile to take effect.... well i decided that i didnt want medication to help me with MY emotions... because they were MINE!! I knew i had to control my emotions somehow.... and i did... i learned by myself that i didnt need anyones help... it was really hard.... and i did alot of other things to distract myself... and i think that helped me alot... Tell yourself that you are not going to be mad and sad all the time and that you want to be happy.... i kept telling myself that over and over... and i am beating it... i still get upset/mad a few times... but not compared to how i was before!
    good luck!!
    and i love your icon!
    i am BIG Linkin Park fan!

    Stop taking everything too emotionally?
    Wow. I'm pretty sure I asked how to express my emotions. That's not expressing. That is supressing. I tried that and it only made everything worse.

    Strangers do bump me and I don't hate them.
    And my best friend has had a party and not invited me, and I was fine with it.
    I don't take things like that too emotionally.

    Jesus, would be happy to help you. If you let him.
    And he can, I know he can.
    He'll take good care of you. And he's waiting for you to just look up to him right now, and trust that everything is gonna be okay. He's got everything under control. He'll take all the pain and anger away and show his love. The only hard part will be, continuing to seek him, and trust that your life is all in his hands.
