It sounds like things have been really tough, and I can sense that you’re feeling overwhelmed by a lot of different things all at once. The anger, the heart palpitations, the poor sleep—it’s no wonder you’re feeling isolated from the world. When so much is going on inside, it can feel really hard to connect with anything or anyone around you.
First of all, I want to say that, What you’re feeling is real, and it’s okay to ask for help when everything feels so out of control. It sounds like your body is trying to tell you something, with the heart palpitations and sleepless nights, and sometimes that’s a signal that there’s a lot of stress building up that hasn’t had a chance to be let out.
If you feel ready, one place to start might be to try and slow down the overwhelm just a little bit at a time. Deep breathing or grounding exercises can help with the heart palpitations and might make sleep a bit easier to come by. Taking just a few minutes each day to pause, sit down and breathe can give you a moment to catch up with yourself, especially when everything feels like it’s spinning too fast.
I’m also hearing that anger is coming up quickly for you lately, and that must be hard to deal with on top of everything else. Anger can sometimes be our body’s way of protecting us when we’re feeling hurt or overwhelmed, but it can also make things harder when it gets in the way of connecting with others. If you feel up for it, we can start by talking through where some of that anger might be coming from and what it’s trying to protect you from.
You’ve already taken a really important first step by reaching out for help, and that takes strength. You don’t have to figure this all out on your own. There are ways to manage these feelings and get some relief, little by little. Please take care of yourself, and when you are ready, would you feel like sharing more?

Hi fu yuan
I think I get angry at everything. From the smallest thing to the most major thing. While I acknowledge anxiety comes from things that can’t be controlled, I have no idea how and where to begin in relegating myself.
Every time I ask for help face to face, when I reach that space, it feels like I’m fine nothing is wrong and i was just very dramatic. However, after I decided that and I go home, the cycle starts again.
I’m tired but I just can’t sleep at night. I’ve tried sleeping early, cutting caffeine, cutting screen time, do more relaxations but nothing seems to be of any help.

Thank you for sharing what you’re going through—your frustration, anger, and exhaustion really come through in your words, and I can sense just how much of a struggle this has been for you. It’s understandable to feel tired of the cycle you’re in, especially when it feels like nothing seems to be working.
It sounds like, at times, you find yourself feeling that your emotions are too “dramatic,” but I want to reassure you that these feelings of anger, anxiety, and exhaustion are very real and valid. Sometimes, we minimize our feelings because they seem smaller in front of others, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t there or don’t matter. Your emotions matter.
I noticed that you’ve been trying some common sleep strategies like avoiding caffeine and screen time, which shows that you’re actively trying to find a solution, and that’s important. But it must be frustrating when those things don’t help as much as you’d hope. Sleep is often tightly linked to our emotional health, so finding ways to manage both your sleep and your emotions together might be helpful.
In terms of how to manage your anger and anxiety, it might be worth exploring what’s underneath these feelings. Anger, for example, often stems from other emotions—sometimes fear, sadness, or even frustration when things feel out of our control. Maybe there’s more going on under the surface that we could start to unpack together.
It might also be useful to think about building some routines that help you manage these overwhelming feelings before they take over. This could be something as small as a daily emotional check-in, a mindfulness practice, or anything that allows you to notice what you’re feeling before it gets too intense. If that’s something you’d be interested in exploring, I’d be happy to help guide you through it.
Please don’t feel like you have to figure this all out on your own—sometimes it takes trying a few different things before something clicks. You’ve already shown strength by reaching out and looking for ways to manage this, and that’s no small feat.
Take care of yourself.
