Why i feel so much love, excitement and at the same time feel so sad?

Question

It is somehow mixed emotion. I can't tell exactly. I don't know why i feel this way. And i don't know if it is wrong and i have some kind of psychological problem. When i meet some people, i feel so good, and i treasure every moments, because i know those moments will not come back again. I love my love. I love her, and i miss her. But at the same time i feel sad. When i go to perforemance of my favorite band, i feel so high, then later i feel sad and bad. May be because of these, i think of dying. When i get high of drinking, i feel so good, i feel so happy, and at the same time i feel so sad, and i wanna die. So many contrasts, i feel bad for street children, and feel so good while partying.

Sometimes i think about dying or may be suicide while getting drunk.

This life around me is so beautiful, and at the same time it is so sad. All the people come and go. Friends meet and go to different places, to different countries. There are so many violence and wars and diseases in this world, while this world is wonderful. All people will die, young or older. I love life, but at the same time i feel i am missing so many things.

I just don't know what should i feel. Am i being too sensitive.

Am i missing something? Do you feel the same?

Hello Alonzo, I know exactly what you are experiencing, and yes it is quite possible for opposing emotions to exist simultaneously..It is very strange if you have not experienced it before...It is quite possible to have things in your life...emotional issues especially that are sad and hurtful or painful and yet another part of your life is wonderful like being with your girlfriend for example...You feel happy and have a great time when you are together...Life is all about that...the good and the bad. The trick is to acknowledge that the sad things are there and can be   sad, but you can not live your life out of a feeling. You must always focus on your goals in life and set about on your path to get there. Stay focused, think positively, and do not listen to all of the negativity. Negative thoughts will bring you down. Instead, use positive self-talk to keep yourself uplifted and in a good place. Use positive affirmations like, I am a good person, people like to be around me, I work hard to make good choices, I help others whenever I can....those types of things...make up some of your own.....There is nothing wrong with being sensitive and in tune with all of the things that are going on in the world, as long as you don't let the thoughts drag you down into depression....Always do your best to be a ray of sunshine in other's lives and help others along the way..It makes you feel good to do something to make others happy...Good luck, my friend...you are going to be just fine and I wish you much happiness in all that you do...((((((HUGS)))))...Linda XXXOOOXXX
