Take a look at the impact of your emotions

“Emotions make our lives exciting, unique, and vibrant,” Botnick says. “Strong feelings can signify that we embrace life fully, that we’re not repressing our natural reactions.”

Emotions that regularly get out of hand might lead to:

• relationship or friendship conflict
• difficulty relating to others
• trouble at work or school
• an urge to use substances to help manage your emotions
• physical or emotional outbursts
