Hi,
It sounds like you're going through a very tough time, and it's important to take steps to address these feelings and behaviors. First and foremost, seeking professional help is crucial. A therapist or counselor can provide you with a safe space to express your emotions and work on strategies to manage them. They can help you understand the underlying causes of your anger, frustration, and need for attention.
In the meantime, try to develop healthier ways to cope with your emotions. When you feel overwhelmed, practice deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, or other relaxation techniques to calm yourself. Journaling your thoughts and feelings can also be a constructive way to process what's going on inside.
It's important to reach out to trusted friends or family members and let them know what you're going through. Social support can be incredibly valuable, and feeling heard and understood by those close to you can make a significant difference.
Engage in self-care activities that you enjoy and that help you feel good about yourself. This could be anything from a hobby to regular exercise, which can improve your mood and overall well-being.
Remember, self-harm is a serious issue and should not be used as a way to cope. Professional support is essential in addressing this behavior and finding healthier alternatives. Taking these steps can help you start to regain control over your emotions and improve your mental health.

It's concerning to hear about your heightened sensitivity , as well as your self-harm tendencies. These behaviors suggest underlying emotional distress that could benefit from professional intervention. I would recommend seeking therapy, particularly approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which are effective in managing intense emotions and developing healthier coping skills. It's important to explore the triggers for these reactions and work on enhancing distress tolerance and emotion regulation. Additionally, creating a safety plan for managing self-harm urges and seeking psychiatric evaluation for possible medication support may also be beneficial. Remember, seeking help is a courageous step towards improving your emotional well-being and gaining better control over your reactions.
Consulting a psychologist eill be immensely helpful for you
