Hello!
I can feel it. The questioner has always felt strong internal pressure in their lives, and this pressure can always cause discomfort. But don't worry! Most people deal with it by choosing to ignore the "small" things that don't seem like a big deal. But once emotional regulation gets out of control, you can feel a lot of anxiety and panic.
I'd really love to know why I'm so sensitive and "fragile."
I've been feeling unhappy for a long time and I'm not sure why. I feel a bit oppressed. This is still the case now that the exams are over. I'd love to know how I can get out of this state!
This has been going on since summer vacation in the third year of junior high school. It's been pretty rough! I used to think it was just because of the pressure of the third year of junior high school. Now that the middle school entrance exam is over, it's still the same. Sometimes, when I don't do well in an exam or don't master difficult knowledge points, I'll feel dizzy and have difficulty breathing, especially in mathematics.
I still have this problem now, too. Sometimes I just want to cry for no reason at all.
She had a few little breakdowns at school, bless her heart. She was often in a state where she wanted to cry but couldn't.
If I can just take a moment to step out of my own shoes and look at things from a third-person perspective, what's the first feeling that comes up for me? It's often a sense of confusion. And that's okay! It just means that I might need to recognize that some of my emotional needs haven't been expressed and met, which can lead to emotional expression problems and physical discomfort.
For example, a friend of mine often had an unnatural expression on her face. Whenever I asked her
"Hey, are you feeling down about something?"
She always replies, "I'm fine, I'm fine, thank you."
However, it wasn't long before she showed signs of discontent again. Whenever she became aware of these feelings, she would cleverly escape them. So she had difficulty truly realizing the emotions behind her unhappiness. In fact, she felt "hurt" or "suspicious" because of some of my non-targeted expressions, so she had strong emotional swings. But if she doesn't express them, it is difficult for the listener to realize the problem at first.
It's so important to remember that sensitivity and fragility are just part of who we are. We all express them in different ways, and that's totally normal! The most important thing is to acknowledge it and learn how to accept it better, without it seriously affecting our state.
So, it's really helpful for the questioner to be aware of their emotions. This helps them to get rid of bad, negative emotions in time by being aware, and instead adjust their perception, guide themselves with positive emotions, and break through the current predicament.
1. When you're facing a challenge, it's always a good idea to start with some emotional regulation.
When it comes to emotions, we often think that controlling them is the way to manage them. But even if this isn't true, it can still lead to anxiety when we lose control. We might want to try to control the situation to prevent an emotional breakdown. But a better solution is to first separate emotions from things. Then, you can regulate and calm your emotions before dealing with the matter. This will help you handle things better!
Let's take an exam as an example. When you're faced with a big test, your first reaction might be to feel a bit overwhelmed. It's totally normal to feel a bit nervous before an exam! But if you try to push down your feelings, they can start to take over. It's like you're holding back a flood of emotions. So, what can you do to calm down? First, take a deep breath. Then, remind yourself that you're capable of doing well on the exam. You've got this!
2. Find someone you trust and talk to them.
It doesn't matter if this person is a close friend or even a friend at all. It could be a cat, an unknown listener, a parent, or a caregiver. As long as you can communicate in a safe and trusting environment, you'll be able to relieve your inner pain. You might feel abandoned because you've cut off your connection with the outside world and imprisoned yourself with negative thinking.
Talking to someone is a wonderful way to feel a long-lost sense of relief and freedom.
3. Focus on something that can keep your attention focused.
It's totally normal to lose interest in things you usually enjoy when you're feeling down. When you're in a low mood, it's important to give yourself a little extra encouragement and help yourself recharge. Try to be kinder to yourself and avoid being too hard on yourself. Focus on things that can keep your attention and gradually, you'll start to feel better.
It's totally normal for us all to have low moods from time to time. We're all in this together, longing for more encouragement and sharing of love. So, there's no need to put too much pressure on yourself or set too many demands. Learn to relax first. When you're feeling low, let yourself "play" for a while and remember that the ups and downs of life are a very normal thing, and you'll be just fine. Oh~^_^
I'm rooting for you! Keep up the great work!

I can relate to how you're feeling, and it sounds really tough. Maybe talking to a counselor could help sort out these feelings. It's also important to find small things that bring joy and try to focus on them.
It seems like you've been carrying this weight for quite some time. Reaching out to friends or family for support might offer some relief. Sometimes just expressing what you're going through can make a difference.
The pressure you describe sounds overwhelming. Have you considered taking time for yourself, even if it's just a few minutes each day, to do something you love? It might not solve everything but could be a start to feeling better.
Feeling this way for so long must be incredibly hard. Perhaps seeking professional help from a therapist could provide strategies to cope with these emotions. You deserve to feel better and find peace within yourself.
