You often feel like your emotions are way too intense, and it’s hard to calm down once you’re worked up. The anxiety is exhausting, and you wish you could just relax.

You feel like you always have to keep everyone happy, work harder than anyone else, and never make a mistake. It’s exhausting trying to live up to the impossible standards you’ve set for yourself.

Your emotions feel too big, too much—like a storm you can’t quite name. And when you see others moving through life with ease, that old question creeps in: Why does it feel so hard for me?

You want to feel close to people, but it’s hard to find that balance. You either over-prioritize their needs, settle in relationships that don’t feel good, or end up shutting them out completely when it gets too overwhelming.

You’ve tried everything—journaling, talk therapy, advice from friends—but it feels like you’re running in circles. Nothing seems to click. You’re left feeling trapped in the same old patterns.
