Re: I can’t control my intense emotions, how do I gain control?
Hey @bignosegirly0 thanks so much for sharing with us, I can hear how difficult this must be for you and how it affects your to day to day social life. We're here for you 
It must be so frustrating that the methods you've mentioned don't seem to stop your negative thinking - I can understand how distressing that must be. I wonder if you recognise any patterns or any triggers in social situations that tend to lead to your hypersensitivity? Perhaps by understanding this better, it may help you to find ways of coping Keep us updated, we're here to listen

Re: Why I am not happy in my life
Of course 
I've been in the same boat and might find myself in it in the future so I can relate to those feelings of inadequacy when searching for a job, it's definitely a lot. Glad my words could be of help !

Re: Moving forward
@TheNightmare Hi! I currently volunteer at my local hospital and also looking for a full-time job. I understand feeling frustrated that you're going to be putting in the work to whatever it is, but not getting paid for it. The role I do isn't very tasking and can be quite rewarding, so I'm happy continuing with it when I get a job, as long as I have the time to spare. My advice would be even if it's something you're doing short term, make sure it's something that you'll enjoy as it helps with making the most out of it.
Re: Wtf is my sexuality (brief mention of sexual themes)
hey - hope you're doing okay today 😊
like brianna has said, whilst you might feel like you'd want a label to help you understand your sexuality and figure out who you are - there is absolutely no rush to do so. it's okay to maybe try different labels until you find one that feels right for you, or just no label at all. whilst frustrating it is a journey that can take time to understand, but the more you go on it, the more you will learn about yourself and work out who you like. and that is absolutely OKAYYYY. what matters is you remember you are an amazing person who is loved no matter the label.
sending you lots of hugs

Re: Wtf is my sexuality (brief mention of sexual themes)
Hey there
Sexuality can be really confusing, this post is pretty relatable. I know for me on my journey it helped to use different labels until I find one that resonated with me the most. It might be helpful to just use the term queer which encompasses a multitude of sexualities and gender. There are also people who prefer to use absolutely no label at all which is also 100% okay. It sounds like your experience with sexuality is pretty fluid which is normal. There is no rush to figuring out who you are, you'll gain more understanding of what you like and what labels you do or don't align with. Your queerness is beautiful in all its forms

Re: I don’t know why I get so offended when people ignore me
Hey @bignosegirly0, I can hear that you're feeling frustrated by how people ignore you or interrupt you. @Faolan makes a good point - it's rude, and it's disrespectful, so your feelings are valid! You deserve to be heard and listened to. Are you noticing that this is a specific individual or group of individuals at work that do this, or is this something that everyone at work is doing? We're here to listen to you
