I've become so upset that I couldn't breath or talk for that matter.  Just had to ride it out... It's only happened twice. I don't intend on getting that upset again...........

Step back and give yourself time to assess what is going on, then later on when you can deal with it in a calm thought out way, deal with it. Keep it in the back of your mind, that no one or anything is worth getting yourself worked up emotionally. In the end, people will more respect the fact that you don't let things stir you, but that you think before you speak or act.

Over the years I've found that I really don't like letting people or things control my inner well being, as that's strictly my domain, and I don't like letting anyone else control it. After I've given myself time to calmly think things over, including the pro's and con's of the situation, I'll come back and approach it in a logical way. I'll even force myself to deal with it, as I'm also not going to burden myself by carrying around an unresolved issue. I'll deal with it in a logical fact based manner that allows me to substantiate everything I say.

In some instances, it also paralells something Shakespeare once wrote, "Revenge is a dish best served up cold." There is a lot of truth in that statement, as that's when someone who has been acting like a total jerk, often ends up looking like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming car.

I more let my emotional side get lost due to physical stimulation.  I think you have more opportunity to control yourself emotionally than physically, though neither is easy.  You could start practicing and developing the habit of giving everything that doesn't require an IMMEDIATE response about 30 seconds before acting or speaking.  During that time, weigh the pros and cons of what is presented and the possible actions.  It's up to you NOT to put yourself in a place where you compromise yourself.

Yes. You either walk away till calmer heads prevail. Or risk a physical confrontation which may end an otherwise friendly relationship. It all depends on the subject.

Zoloft.

On the Spiritual side of this "lost your self in emotion".  It's your heart opening up to Divines Love.  As you are in that moment of uncontrolled emotions,   At that moment,  is the perfect time to SCREAM AND CRY.  Those projected uncontrolled emotions are revealed to you, as your Soul reveals to your conscious self the deep, seeded, projected "BS" from your parents, family and Society.  These projections are piled onto your Heart, Soul, Spirit, Mind and Body, day in and day out, until you emotionally can not keep it in.  Hence,  "lost your self in emotion"  the More you Emotionally release these projected trauma within you.  Your Heart OPENS, and allows Divine Love to flow in and remove that "lost your self in emotion",  It really works,  the sooner you release these emotions in Divine Truth the sooner you are able to have a TRUE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with Divine Holy Spirit and Divine Almighty.  It works when you work it.

I take a deep breath and walk away.

I have.I have either confronted the situation or walked away.The fight or flight response.

Stop all extremes of emotion, from love to hate to revenge to lust. The 7 deadly sins cause all of what you have described. In a nutshell, you would need to be a person with either immense self-control or totally thick skinned. Since you are neither, you may have to suffer the consequences and be human. I guess, nothing much else can be expected of you :)

I happened to me more often than I wanted...

when u become emotionly charged and feel mentaly draind this is your knee jerk reaction to lash out. trick is to stop pretend u did whatever your physical being demands then study aftermath and walk away and laugh u got a goood imagined show ,turned out how u wanted it and no repercutions (thats the imagining and laughing at end is to let go streess
