You know the phrase, "It takes a village?" Well, it does. Emotions are better handled when you have a strong support group to help you get through them. When you know you have shoulders to lean on, it becomes easier to handle anything – even without their help. Talk therapy can be a very effective treatment for any emotional issue, and you don't necessarily need to go to a therapist to find it. When you get wrapped up in an emotional cocoon that you'd rather not be in, talk it out. You may find that getting the words out lets the emotion out, too. If you’re feeling drained, stressed out, or overwhelmed by your relationship with another person, that may be a sign that you need to establish better boundaries. Setting boundaries might mean spending less time with the person, asking them to stop doing something that bothers you, or simply saying “no” to some of their requests. For example, you might say, “Susan, I’ve been feeling really stressed out about politics lately. Can we avoid that subject for a couple weeks?” The other person might be upset or disappointed, especially if they’re not used to you setting boundaries or telling them “no.” However, a good friend should respect your wishes, even if their feelings are a little hurt. You've probably been told before that "no one can make you angry but yourself," or something similar. And it's true – your feelings come from within you, and only you can choose how to react to them. Just because someone ran into your car doesn't mean they made you feel a certain way. So the next time you get angry at someone, take a step back, consider where that feeling is coming from, and recognize that you have the power to choose how you react. Next time you have a moment when you feel like someone else is pushing you to your limit, instead of getting heated up, take a breath and step away. Don't have the argument. Don't make the obvious insult. Think it out and stay in your zone. You will feel better and more in control of the situation and your own emotions. Co-dependency can happen if you become too emotionally reliant on another person. Becoming aware of these tendencies is one of the first steps to overcoming them and becoming more emotionally independent. Once you start thinking of yourself as your own person with your own thoughts and feelings, you will begin to feel more in control of your emotions. Think about your relationships with friends, partners, and family members. The following are common signs of a co-dependent relationship:  Low self-esteem, or a feeling that your self-worth is dependent on your relationship with another person. Lack of good boundaries in the relationship. Feeling the need to take care of the other person, to the point that you are not taking enough care of yourself. Overly strong reactions to the moods and opinions of others (for example, you may only feel happy when the other person is happy, or get extremely upset when they don’t share your opinions). If you're not eating, sleeping, and taking care of yourself, there's no way you can take care of your emotions. Before you even go about tackling the bad habits of your superego, you need to back up a bit. Take care of your primal needs first. You can't walk before you can run.  Make sure you get plenty of sleep. The more well-rested you are, the better your mind can function. The better your mind can function, the more logical and stable you can remain. Eat a healthy diet. A crappy diet can make us feel just that – crappy. Filling your body with good, healthy foods will make it easier to think good, healthy thoughts. Exercise. As you probably know by now, exercise releases endorphins, the little happy-makers in your brain. If you're ever feeling down, go for a quick jog. Odds are the bad feelings will start to dissipate. While it’s important to be kind to others, it's just as important to be kind to yourself and take time to do the things you enjoy. When you're feeling a little down or out of control, treat yourself like you would a friend going through the same thing. Take your bad mood as a cue that you need to splurge on that concert or go get that ice cream. Enjoying the little things that please you makes it a lot easier to calm down, step back, and realize that you have it okay. Life may not be perfect, but treating yourself helps you realize that there are reasons to stay positive. If your emotions are causing you a lot of stress, or if they are interfering with your ability to work, go to school, or have stable relationships, seek help from a counselor or doctor. They may be able to help you with strategies for managing your emotions, or even identify and treat an underlying condition that might be making your emotions more unstable. If you have severe mood swings, talk to your doctor. Emotional instability can be caused by a variety of conditions, such as bipolar disorder, major depression, hormonal disorders like premenstrual dysphoric disorder, or thyroid problems.
