Have you ever been left alone at your wits end, with no one to turn to? Can’t withstand all the stress and all the thoughts that are bottling up within you? Well, I believe you’re not alone.
My personal meaning for being “emotionally unstable” is where you have so much thoughts, feelings, and stress being held within you that it makes you act differently than who you really wanted to be. There’s many ways that certain individuals feel during their phase, such as being easily angered, creating insecurities, and in my case, trust problems.
I believe that I have a lot of symptoms due to emotional instability, but the reason why I personally have trust issues is that I have dealt with many people that I could trust to be emotionally vulnerable towards have taken advantage of my secrets and used it as an act of blackmail.
Having my trust really breaks my spirit and character, and ever since I’ve been having that done to me so many times that it’s been really changing who I truly wanted to be, and shaping me into someone I don’t want to be.
I personally believe that I’m emotionally unstable, I’ve got alot of stress dealing with schools, holding friendships, & choosing those who to trust knowing that I had so much experience with betrayal.
I have a hard time being emotionally vulnerable with others, telling others what I truly feel and swallowing my own words, and I started to create alot of doubts about myself knowing who others think otherwise about myself.
I believe that having certain events or words that have been said in the past can really shape how you act, feel, or what you see in others or you personally.
Sarah Diroy, a clinical therapist at Yerba Buena High School, explains the symptoms of being emotionally unstable, how it can range from feeling of sadness, lack of appetite, lack of sleep, avoidance with family & with school.
Sarah says, “It’s an average experience for young people.” It’s not much of a surprise that alot of kids deal with familiar symptoms such as depression and avoidance with others.
Sarah explains how she had friends in the past that have dealt with these problems and she says, “It’s important to understand their words because alot of people feel alone.”
Personal ways that I deal with being emotionally unstable at times is that i preferably like to listen to music to get my mind off of things, write my thoughts out, or do hobbies that keep me busy, such as poetry and watching tv until I forget about it.
A lot of other people have many ways with dealing their own form of mental illness such as, self harm, talking with others, eating their favorite food, or just let out the pain by crying.
As research comes from the website, Borderline Personality Disorder, ways that you can also treat your mental illness is taking therapy with a mental health counselor twice a week, medication can’t technically cure your mental illness but it can help treat the symptoms, and taking care of yourself by doing alot of different activities.
As I progress with my life, I start to become more stable than what I was years ago, and having a certain someone has made me believe that I can finally have someone that I can trust, show my insecurities and knowing that she’ll accept me.
This is a connection that I’ve long searching for and I feel like that if you’re willing to take risks to create new connections, you don’t know the worth of someone till you give it your all.
It gives me the thought that even though other people fight their own battles and have other problems to deal with. I can finally finish this long battle with her.
