Noticing the Signs:

Struggling to manage emotions can feel like being “on edge,” reacting strongly, or finding it hard to calm down. In others, you might notice frequent conflicts, mood swings, or withdrawal after emotional outbursts.

Coping Skills:

• Pause and breathe before responding.

• Identify triggers and use healthier outlets such as exercise or creativity.

• Take short breaks or “time-outs” to reset.

• Tune into body signals that emotions are building.
