Hi my name is Jessica, and I'm new to the message boards here. I wanted to get some perspective on other people's transition. Lately I've been feeling lost in a jungle of emotions. Its like I just can't control myself, like I was a 16 year old in high school (I'm 26). Its just so overwhelming, coupled with this guy I just started seeing. He's the first boyfriend I've ever had, and my first relationship. I just feel so intensely overwhelmed with my feelings, How can I keep the flood gates from completely breaking open?

My technique for keeping them somewhat under control for 30+ years I call the 3D's Distractions, Diversions, and Denial. It wasn't perfect but kind of worked at the cost of eventually leading to a joyless life. In this day and age I wouldn't recommend it.

Its not so much the emotions, but the overabundance of it. I just find myself crying just because my bf isn't here, but I get so happy when he's around I cry from being so happy. I just have no control. I've been trying to distract myself though, having fun with my neighbors, but I still feel like I could burst out.
I probably just sound ridiculous

Are u on hormones? If so it could very well be the dosage is too high.
