So the question is, how do i take control on my emotions, because to be honest, i frankly havent been very good at it lately...
I think of it as having two entities in my head... My logical human mind who thinks rationally, gathers evidence and is calm and avoids jumping to conclusions.
Then there is my emotional mind who is driven by self-preservation and survival, jumps to conclusions, thinks irrationally, gets paranoid and jealous etc. It's your emotional mind that is seeing the threat and finding fear in your girlfriends actions.
I trained myself to recognise when my emotional mind is taking over, which it often does because its far stronger than your logical mind. Once you can recognise it, you need to exercise it by letting it vent. Do this by allowing these thoughts to go through your brain until it tires itself out, maybe write them down, or express them to a close friend. But don't act on the feelings your emotional mind is giving you, think to yourself "Do I want to feel this way?" and if the answer is "no" then you need to exercise your emotional mind.
You need to genuinely start to think of two entities in your head between the logical and emotional. Obviously not in a schizophrenic kind of way...
Its the emotional mind that kicks in in times of "danger" but obviously as we are no longer living in the wild as hunter gatherers, often it can be out of whack and inconvenient. I used to be jeopardised heavily by my emotions and still am often, but I can help control it using this method.
When the needs of your emotional mind aren't met in other areas outside of relationships is usually when the most unrest will occur.
