Difficulty Managing Emotions

People struggling with mental health conditions often experience extreme mood swings or find it hard to control their emotions. They may feel unusually irritated, anxious, or emotionally numb. These fluctuations can make daily interactions difficult and strain relationships. Emotional instability may also lead to impulsive decisions, outbursts, or withdrawal from social activities. Recognizing these emotional changes and finding healthy ways to cope—such as therapy, journaling, or talking to a trusted friend—can be beneficial in regaining emotional balance.
