Unfortunately, there are times when emotions can become overwhelming. The severity of a situation may cause undue stress including the death of a loved one or the sudden loss of a job. Stress and change can affect our emotional well-being. Generally, these emotional changes are temporary. However, prolonged stress, physical problems, multiple changes and other factors can lead to emotional difficulties.
People can become extreme in their emotions including depression, anxiety, and anger.
When feelings become this extreme they are detrimental to us. Talking about our problem with a friend, co-worker, or someone who we trust. Reducing our stress level by exercising or meditating. Writing about our feelings can be therapeutic because it allows us to express out emotions in an effective, private way without fear of being judged by others. Keeping a diary or journal can also help you to track your emotions on a regular basis.
