i hurt

Sometimes i feel like I am feeling too much emotion for one person to feel, or that I am feeling paradoxical emotions and I don't know how to deal with it.  I (try to) take time out... and go read, or watch a film, or go for a walk or have a nap or go to the shops and not buy anything, or whatever.  Now what am I meant to do when life doesn't let me have time out?
