Psychiatric medicine often times blunts your emotions to the point where you become oblivious to anything. That's how it is for me.

Have you looked into OTC sleep medications? I often feel very overwhelmed when trying to go to bed and will get violently angry, punching my doors, but sleep medications help me. I used to use trazodone but now I use melatonin since it's naturally produced by your body. Depending on how bad it is, you could maybe get a prescription medication.

I can probably provide a bit of insight to your thread question.

I have BPD (borderline personality disorder) and one of the hallmark characteristics of BPD is intense emotions and rapidly shifting moods. The key for me, at least when I know I'm spiralling or having an emotional collapse, is to do my best to remain present. I ask myself if my emotions are a present danger or can I find a real world solution to self soothe, as emotional regulation techniques require a ton of awareness.

Realize you are ok and still a loveable human, even if the feelings aren't always consistent. It's not easy, but probably the best I got.

Sometimes, relationships and love, cause more issues and fuck up our traumas more. In a way, I envy you. Being betrayed and hurt by those you love and you think love you, is worse than never finding love.

I'm not trying to shill for the pharmaceutical industry by any means -- But have you considered psychiatric medication? It works for some people.

You're looking for tips so it sounds you may want to get better.

They could help stabilize your emotions and mood to a degree. There's meds that can help with your sleep also. It's an option.
