Do you have trouble controlling your emotions?

This is what I dislike most about my personality. Being overly emotional is a common Cancerian trait. I describe myself to other people as "passionate," but in all honesty that's just a nice way of saying I'm an emotional basketcase.
I've found that I'm never just happy, I'm ecstatic and everything is wonderful! I'm never just angry, I'm trembling with rage and out for blood. I'm never just sad, I'm clinically depressed and contemplating suicide.
It's exhausting being this emotionally charged all the time. I'd much prefer to be more calm and practical (I'm a Cap Rising).
Do any other crabs feel this way?

Not cancer sun either but I feel like that too, maybe the combo of my placement mostly water, cancer asc, but for me those emotional moments are like waves... before when I was younger and probably less beat up by nasty people, I didn't thought too much about it or paid too much attention, I was more introverted and kept my mind busy....

as I got older, have to be confronted with harsh reality and learned to "behave" socially, but also hide my feeling and emotions, convincing myself only weak people show them... more recently probably in the last 5 years, I stop being afraid of feeling, I try to not let them control me, but heck sometimes I feel emotion invading me like waves and I dont know what to think about it...

Moonchild I'm EXACTLY as how you describe 99.9999999?

I'm not a Cancer, but I've had some great friendships with Cancers and I fully believe you're just a very passionate person. My cancer friends have ALWAYS been there for me no matter what.

It's exhausting, but with all the Cancer in my chart I can't even imagine being any way else.

U know what nothing wrong with being angry what happens is that we are ashamed of our emotional state that we wait till last minute n we explode n comes out of rage. Instead be angry at that moment rather than letting build up

+1 Agreed Impulsv. I sometimes think that "timing" is very important, especially in matters of "expressing" certain emotions. However, sometimes "timing" is just not relative at all and in some cases in just shouldn't/don't matter. My sisters & brother know I am reserved and laid back for the most part, but they also know that if they cross me the wrong way (thanks to my Cancer Moon & Rising) all hell is breaking loose and I'm going ham....with not a 2nd thought regarding "timing" and w/out regret! And sometimes I'm just as loving on the opposite side of the spectrum (also thanks to my Cancer Moon & Rising). My emotions are just that way....of which I'm all ok with.

I don't know... I'm not a cancer either but a combo bunch of water on my chart including cancer... I been dealing with fluctuating emotions specially lately is driving me nuts... I feel I can control them like in a PMSing kind of ways sometimes... even when I'm not... but just like MA said sometime it can be exhausting... yeah it does...

I don't know if lately is the drinking water, mercury retrograde, other placements, hormonal... but somedays i wonder if it could be two notches less "passionate" about things, my life would be little bit nicer i guess...

Even jokingly, I've thought I could be bipolar (because of the strong changing emotions) until I know a real one and I was like.... ahhhhh no definitely I'm just emotional basket case sometimes.
