This question is related to mental health. here is my problem. I seem to have no control of my emotions at all. either when i am happy, sad, angry, it doesn't matter. When I am upset I cannot think rationally and often make bad decisions. I cannot seem to make the jump to rationality.I aviod most social settings because I am afraid that I will upset someone or I will not get along with them. I have been this way for years and This has ruined many intimate relationships, working relationships, and has caused me to almost never develop strong friendships. As a child, I have suffered negllect, verbal, mental, physical abuse, and abandonment. Is there any help for me? Or am I destined to always be this way. I have tried to "just shake it off", stress management techniques, adopting a positive attitude, but I cannot seem to shake the constant feeling of hypervigilance, paranoia, and constant fear inside. I believe I need therapy, but I cannot seem to get that taken care of due to work. At this point, I am very tired of feeling this way, and often feel hopeless. Is there any hope?
