Q: I am having trouble controlling my emotions, particularly sadness. What can I do?
A: It’s okay to feel sad from time to time. You can take hold of your emotions by identifying what you’re feeling.
1. What am I feeling right now?
2. What happened to make me feel this way?
3. Does this situation have a different explanation that might make sense?
4. What can I do about these feelings?
5. Is there a better way of coping with my feelings?
Take a deep breath, give yourself some space, and try to identify what you’re feeling. You can talk to someone you trust if you cannot identify what you're feeling on your own.
