We all experience emotional highs and lows – however, when the lows become so devastating that we cannot continue our regular daily routines, it may be an issue with emotional regulation. This includes difficulty regulating emotions like frustration, anger, sadness, or loneliness. Not being able to regulate emotions may lead to relationship conflict, conflict in the workplace, or other adverse experiences.
