“I want to do so many things besides my job. I am a creative person. I want to explore my creative side. BUT I am not able to control my emotions. No matter what I do. “

Over the past 6 months, I have talked to 150+ people, 24–26 years old, and a surprising majority of them have confessed this to me.
A few years back, I used to watch TV Series / Movies for 15 hours a day. Because if I didn’t, my mind would have time to overthink.
I was going through a tough phase in my life at that time. I had financial issues, relationship troubles, and my career was about to take a drastic turn. And I had the symptoms of depression.
My emotions were totally out of control. I couldn’t control them. But somehow I was successful in ignoring them, keeping myself distracted.
I used to cry, sleep, eat, and binge-watch Netflix.
But guess what, it didn’t work for too long. I found myself crying endlessly, trying to end that pain somehow.
