I Really Wish I Had Better Ways [any Way Really] To Regulate My Emotions In A Healthy Way.. Feel Like

I really wish I had better ways [any way really] to regulate my emotions in a healthy way.. Feel like I have very little control over the fluctuations in my mood and I'm kinda just being dragged around by the current.

It makes me destructive in ways I do not wish to be. It's also fucking painful cause the degree of whatever I'm feeling is most often unbearably intense and honestly way more excessive than the situation calls for.. [I'm always aware of this, but that doesn't really change anything.]

The only coping skill I feel I can really use in these moments is just removing myself from people/the situation. If I can't interact with anyone I can't fuck things up either..

I would really love to have ways to effectively ease the emotional distress tho.. Nowadays I'm just trying to control my breathing and focus on not giving into impulses until the worst has passed.. I know I can't trust my thoughts or reasoning in these moments and that I'll be way more rational once I manage to calm down..

Eeehh.. question:

Is there a way I can respond to asks that doesn't involve posting them to my blog for everyone to see?

[Pretty sure the person in question wouldn't want what they wrote to be shown publicly.]

The amount of times random people feel the need to grab my hair, or pet it, or gather it to see how thick it is, or twirl it, or braid it, or pull it..

Like drunk people.. that I don't know... messing with my hair.... without even asking...... 💀💀💀

When people say they know who you are but you have no idea how they are.. 💀

It happens quite a lot too and I fucking hate it.. feels like I should just answer "Sooo, what's you're pre perceived opinion of my character, stranger?"

Friend dipping beard in food

*double sigh*

You know when you're entering a pin code and for a second you start to think of it as a series of numbers and not just a well ingrained pattern of motion and you completely blank on what the code is.. yeah.. That's where I'm at right now.. 💀
