Am I the only one who is bad at emotion regulation?

I mean I'm quite a normal person, but sometimes (often) when I feel overwhelmed/stressed/sad, I just don't know how to handle that. I want to understand my emotions, but I don't know where to start. I need to talk, but I can't find the right person. I am stressed, but I don't realize it until too late. I feel like I need an 'emotional mirror' that understands me better than I understand myself. Do you also feel this way?
