I Can't Shut Off My Feelings

Drowning in a sea of confusion

Can't find the right way out

Seeing nothing in the darkness

To chase away the doubt

Feelings like an anchor;

Longing, love and desire

Hold me tight and completely

Burning with great...

I want my on-off-swtich. Because there are SO many times, I would turn off my emotions.

I am who I am...and "it's my life, to ruin my own way"....
It hurts to be me, but I can't be anyone else.
Every once and awhile, a sweet man has touched me sexually and I stupidly think they had fallen in love with me. Ha...

My feelings, unlike those of most, have an on-off switch instead of a dial to adjust the power.As you can guess based on the group title, I can't fins the on-off switch for these stupid things! Where is it!?

I'm tired of needing and wanting what should come naturally.  I'm tired of explaining what it is I want.  I'm tired of looking at you.  I'm tired of making excuses for you.  I want more and I'm going to be sure I get...

I can't shut off my feelings, I may be able to decide whether to act on them at that particular moment but I cannot shut them off. The volatility and intensity of my emotions could probably power the earth if not the sun. Yes, it gets...

Its been such an effort to put some of my feelings to words, even now, i doubt ill be able to do it justice, i doubt ill ever be able to convey the depths of my despair to anyone reading this, unles they themselves have experienced...

I wish I could shut off my feelings completely & forget about everything..

I hate been ruled by my feelings.  I don't like feeling.  Why can't I just be?  Why do I have to feel every little thing?Some days I'm on top of the world.  All is well and nothing hurts.  I realize the truth of things and my...

Why do i feel for others as well as myself? Why does it hurt me DEEPLY to see a child suffer, an animal tortured or an innocent man killed? Yes, some people "feel bad/sorry" for them, but I FEEL THEIR PAIN. I cant help but to cry or be...

I am one of those overly emotionaly, sensitive types.

Sometimes, I even exhibit an over the top flair for the dramatic.

EP is my place to vent, to let it all burst out with no restraint.

It's my release. Once I've let it go, I...

Have you felt like wanting to turn-off yourself?
So you can bring your heart to a sudden halt
As it beats with deep pain and disappointment?
Have you wished to feel unmoved
So your mind could cease speaking with your heart
And they...

I get very emotional at small things, and I can get angry or anything quickly.
That can get really annoying sometimes, because I can then do things involuntarily and I regret it later.
I'm one of these overly guilty people, but Im also...

A warm wave flows through my body , a QUICK flood of warmth, from my toes up to my face. My pulse is racing, I'm sweaty and hot, yet cold chills are running up my spine. Butterflies in my stomach. Thoughts are racing through my head...

I thought I could shut off my feelings, block out the storm by putting up shutters with little suns on them, smiley suns with goofy sunglasses and a bright outlook.  It worked, for a while.  It was almost as if it was nice out, as if...

I try to stop hating everything&everybody but I cant because its like the feeling is in control of me and there is nothing I can do about it. I cry pretty much all the time because all I want to do is be alone..When your feeling like...

I don't want to shut of me feelings, but I've developed this mask that I use all day when I am at school. I started doing it back when I was in a really bad place last year and I've kept it up because it stops people getting to me- I...
