Do you experience emotions more often and more intensely than those around you? Are you told that you are "too sensitive and emotional"? But what to do when anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise, disappointment, humility, nostalgia... etc. simply "overwhelm" you and you feel like everything is "out of control"?

In reality, not "everything", because you can always ask yourself what's happening with your body right now and then try to trace the cause-and-effect relationship.

So, about the causes:

• Lack of sleep always  disrupts the body's ability to function properly. This can lead to increased irritability and inability to concentrate on tasks. If possible, go to bed earlier and try to sleep seven to nine hours every night.

• Hormonal changes. As you age, bodies change and develop. For women, it is typical to experience a decrease in estrogen levels with age, as well as other changes related to, for example, pregnancy. Men's testosterone levels change with age, which also affects mood. If you regularly have a bad mood, consult a doctor to rule out a medical diagnosis.
• Traumatic experience. Unfortunately, life experience, which is not always pleasant, can trigger feelings and emotions that would not have been experienced if it weren't for an accident, job loss, serious illness, etc.
• Eating habits. Certainly, when we eat or drink what we like, endorphins are released through the brain's pleasure center, and we feel great. But not always what we like is healthy for our bodies. Therefore, changing eating habits to a healthy diet can also improve the overall physical and emotional state of the entire body.

• Stress always manifests on a physical level, whether it's body tension, headache, anxiety, sadness, anger, etc. – it interferes with life. Therefore, it's important to find time and identify the key stressors in life – is it work, family, relationships, etc.? Then learn to manage them with the help of breathing exercises, physical activity, or with the help of a psychologist.

Undoubtedly, increased emotionality can cause inconvenience until you realize its advantages. If a person learns to recognize their emotions and then manage them, it will allow for a different perspective on the world and realize their true potential:

1. Learn to name your feelings. Phrases like "I am angry/excited/happy/admire, etc." will help distinguish and understand your own emotions.
2. Learn to accept and allow any feelings. It doesn't matter whether the feeling matches the situation that has arisen, if it has arisen, it has the right to exist.
3. Learn empathy. When we accept our emotions and recognize them, it's always easier to understand another person.
4. Learn the right to choose. Everyone sometimes feels bored, scared, or lonely, but any situation can be changed, the main thing is to understand what you really want. Allow yourself to experience uncomfortable emotions, and perhaps you will want to change something in your life.
5. Emotions and behavior are different things. It's important to realize that, for example, being angry is normal, but acting aggressively is not.

If you've tried different ways and understand that you're not coping, consult a psychologist. The iPsycholog team knows, can, and is ready to accompany you on this path.
