moodswings

Sometimes being in the presence of others just triggers all my loss and desire for love.

have you had negative consequences from not able to control emotions

yes

I have sometimes received support socially, but not often. So mostly tried to confine "sharing" to therapeutic situations, which i have paid for. I have too heavy an amount of issues to want to burden people generally.

I have also met a lot of people, mainly women who say they are too emotional and try and relieve them and say that their feelings are legitimate.

so best to avoid situations and people except therapist when feeling emotionally overwhelmed do you thinks to avoid pressure on others

I dont think I would make it a hard and fast rule.

It is often the moments when things bubble to the surface when sharing socially that help people form the best bonds. It depends on who and what and when.

I work on the make contact around the similarities ... but

Personally I had too many issues it was hard for people to deal with they didnt have the knowledge and were frightened ... put off by issues around suicide and schizophrenia etc.

yet at some point we need to feel accepted for who we are ... by a range of significant others ... too many secrets dont help relationships flourish.

Lately I meet more and more people who have dealt with those issues in their own lives and so am feeling much more connected than when I was a child or young woman.

Sorry if I am not much help.
