I’m starting the diagnosis process and therapy next month. For now, I need to keep myself grounded somehow.

One of the biggest issues I (28M) struggle with is negative thoughts and regulating my emotions, controlling my mood swings, etc.

I cried for so long just based on a negative thought tonight and I just spiraled from there. The original thought was that my boyfriend doesn’t care about me and that I shouldn’t care about others because of this. This thought made me so sad. I don’t know what causes it, I don’t understand how my emotions work tbh. It’s exhausting.

I’m starting to wind down now, but this happens so often that I’m just over it at this point.

Does anybody have any advice or suggestions on how to handle what I’m dealing with? Any kind words?
