Trouble with emotional regulation
For roughly the past year I have been having serious issues with regulating my emotional responses. I’ve been married for 11 years now and had a baby 2 years ago along with some job changes and having to move. It just seems like extremely minor issues will now push me past an 11 to nearly a full blown breakdown. Sometime I can regulate it ok, but it is becoming more often and I’m having less control over my anger or whatever it is. I just signed up and not really sure what I’m expecting from this post but maybe getting it out of my head and into words will help at the very least.

I think when you have many things going on and our lives seem to be spinning out of control .... the frustration or anger is sometimes just a response .....
i think of a time on a spinning ride and it just got to be too much i asked to slow down or stop was a combination of scared / frustrated and a feeling of loss of control ....... looked a lot more like anger.
Taking a moment and grounding ourselves when we feel out of control helps..... self care is vital as the longer we put this off the worse the reaction becomes.
@impartialBalloon2219 I feel you. It's hard to work through what you're going through on your own. You did the right thing by telling people and asking for help. I think therapy will help a lot. Sometimes emotions are overwhelming. Sorry your going through that. I wish I had the answer but keep at it!
