What should I do

I hate talking about my feelings. Every time I get the chance to vent, I feel gross, and the words can't come out. I really need to talk about my feelings at some point but I can't. And even if I got the chance to talk to someone I delete the messages or tell them to forget about it.

It’s completely normal to feel this way. Gaining control over our emotions takes time and experience—both the good and the difficult ones.

Think of emotions like waves in the ocean: they rise, they fall, but they don’t last forever. The key is to stay steady. With patience and experience you’ll learn not to be overwhelmed, but to ride over them with balance. It’s a skill that grows with practice. Be kind to yourself as you learn.
