I am emotionally immature and don't know how to change that. What do I do?

Question

I have tendencies to become jealous very, very quickly; I get cry over everything; I push away my friend because I over react to everything. I used to be able to keep emotions in, but that resulted in cutting. Now it seems like I can't keep the flood gates closed, I get emotional over the most ridiculous things. I have now hurt my friendship with my best friend, and I am at a loss for what to do. I need help.

Answer 1

Talk to your family doctor....maybe your hormones are out of whack.

Answer 2

You already know the answer: intense counseling with a board-certified psychiatrist, and medication.  It is no dishonor to accept help...

Answer 3

Many people have the same problem as you.

It might no seem like it but they do.

Dont keep your feelings inside that will just hurt you more.

People loose relationships and think they cant fix it. You can always fix it. Stop looking at people saying look what they have. Look at you! Look at what you have. You might not think it is a lot but it is. Make up with her friend and tell them how you fell. Start to be happy with yourself before trying to be happy with other people. you are who you are, You can learn to live with it and make it the best or you can be depressed the rest of your life, It is your choice. Hope i helped Good luck
