I tend to react with very strong emotions to everything, even when I objectively know that it is not as bad as I make it to be.
For example, I worked two months last summer in a supermarket and although it wasn't the best experience, nothing really bad happened. And yet, I can't help but see it as the worst 2 months of my life. I got back home crying a few times, and for the first time in my life, I started drinking heavily just to feel better. I started cutting again when I had stopped for years. I'd think about killing myself every day just to not have to go back to work.
I live with my family (I'm 20) and they decided to leave for 2 weeks during summer break. I stayed home alone since I had to work, and I had never felt this lonely and hopeless before.
I have never really talked in detail about what happened to my parents but when I told them that it was very hard for me, I could see by their reaction that they didn't understand why it would be when it was just a regular working experience. 

I also have been struggling with social anxiety for a year now. When I go out in the city or when I have to take public transport, I always feel very anxious/scared, my breathing gets heavy and I can't stop thinking about how I don't want to be there. But nothing bad ever happens.
Yesterday, I went with my parents to visit my sister who is in the hospital. We went for a walk in the city and I truly felt miserable. My dad noticed it and told me that he was happy I made so much effort for my sister. After hearing that, I felt so much shame and guilt. I couldn't understand why I acted the way I did when nothing happened at all. 

So I can't help but think that every time I feel those strong emotions, I'm basically faking it. I can't tell if my feelings are real or if I'm lying to myself and others for attention or to avoid my responsibilities (I have always struggled with this, thinking about administration, work, school, makes me very anxious).
Also, because I can switch from an emotion to another very quickly, I feel like what I felt wasn't really that bad and I just once again faked it. 

Have you ever felt this way?
