You have big emotions that feel out of control. You’re more sensitive than others. Your emotions tend to come out of the blue, and hit you like a tidal wave. They’re incredibly painful. It feels like they’ll never end. It’s like you’re stuck on an emotional rollercoaster from hell, and you can’t get off.
Criticism or rejection devastates you. It’s hard to bounce back. You worry that people secretly hate you. A lot of the time, you hate you. Sometimes, you don’t even know who “you” really are. You can feel empty and lost.
You don’t know how to deal with these overwhelming feelings. In an attempt to cope, you end up doing things that you later regret. In the moment, you don’t know what else to do.
