No matter how hard you try to do better, it somehow never helps. Living feels like a living hell. A Life with Strong Emotions that Feel Like They Come out of Nowhere Rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, the pressure in your chest begins to take over and all that goes through your mind is, “I think I’m having a heart attack,” or “I’m going Crazy.” A LIFE THAT FEELS LONELY Arguments with a loved one lead to significant problems that cause a strain on the relationship. Family members often say, “you are crazy,” “Just stop acting so emotional all the time,” “Why can’t you just be normal like everyone else.” It sometimes feels like the only way to get the attention of a loved one is to go to extreme behavior like threatening to self-harm or, threats of suicide or self-harm The thoughts of self-harm and even death make it unbearable to do anything but have the same persistent thoughts. The plan of ending it all provides some relief or engaging in self-harm provides some relief that nothing else has worked but these just keep leading to psychiatric hospitalizations. The desire to change these things are there but no none is sharing what actually will keep you out of the hospital.
