I've read in many threads that you guys sometimes or most of the times have to deal with strong waves of emotions... how do you deal with that?

I'm not a cancer but in my experience they just shut down.
I usually feel like my inner outer layer freezes and my insides burnnnnnn.
Complete shutout of the person/situations I'm having issues with

I don't have waves of emotions I do shut down when things start to get out of control in my life but I don't do that often.

^^^^You ride them out..you feel everything and try to find solutions to whatever problem that have you camping out in your shell...or until you feel better..
I also listen music and drink wine...it soothes the frazzled nerves..

Shut down......... comfort food, exercise and sleep can work well. Exercise is really good if possible depending on what and who with. One of my best friends is a taurus and any time spent with him is rejuvenation. He is a very calming influence.
It depends on your self-defence mechanism. In my case, when it seems way too much, I just tend to fall asleep. When it comes to someone else and their emotions, I am always there to support them, I make them deal with whatever is happening to them on an emotional level and I do not absorb their energy, I don't know why. When it comes to me and difficult situations at an emotional level, it depends also on the situation. Most of the times I deal with it by being practical and decisive yet there have been certain exceptions, and my body actually lets me know something is wrong.
