Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- Whatever I’m feeling, I pile on top of it
- I feel the jealousy or the hurt and then immediately pile on a second layer of "I shouldn’t feel this, a mature person wouldn’t"
- I’m stuck at one of two extremes with hard feelings
- When a big feeling crashes over me it’s like I become it
- I try to keep the emotion out and stay reasonable, but it never actually stays out
