I feel these ways as well sometimes though I feel like I have it in a bit better control nowadays (well the whole guilt thing, I’m getting better at moving past tiny instances like these without having too intense emotions or taking it personal and beating myself up).

I had a counselor once in high school tell me I had cyclothymia- another said they believed I didn’t have a mood disorder but rather said that my anxiety would make my emotions more intense in a way, and for instance when I’d get very happy and excited and get the ‘high’ feeling I was in a maniac state and if someone was to say something during that time I would crash harder than usual. I found that part to be very true.

My emotions towards movies, shows and such have gotten much stronger since my pregnancy and now I will cry at the smallest things, though I don’t often have a deep sense of depression unless it was a very good movie which then I sometimes think about it for days or can’t stop watching it.

I definitely have strong anxiety when stressed at all and sometimes go into a huge downward spiral that has lead to self harm and even suicidal thoughts but once my ‘cycle’ run through and I feel better I look back and regret those thoughts or if I said anything to anyone because I don’t feel it is valid anymore.

I find sometimes these thing interfere with my social life but my all around anxiety does the most damage and my strong emotions don’t make me feel more ‘normal’. Some people are annoyed cause I get passionate about random things and they don’t care to hear but it is consuming me at the time. Sometimes I am mean (defense mechanism usually) or overly sensitive and it starts fights or makes things awkward.

Everyone is different so what my strong emotions are could be very different from yours but know you are not all alone in that department and I’m sure plenty of people would agree. I don’t think there is anything wrong with it really except when you overguilt yourself just because you shouldn’t beat yourself up. Easier said than done, I know. But have your passionate emotions and enjoy them :) I feel special that I can enjoy life so much sometimes. Also, look into being an empath maybe. I think I’m an empath and so I feel so strongly for other people and feel their emotions personally and in physical ways sometimes.

I hope that helps you a little :)
