Struggling with Hurt Feelings and Depression

My feelings are hurt. It is over something that I really have no right to be upset by. But it’s been hours and I just feel awful. I keep remembering and then I start to cry. I cried earlier for more than an hour. And this isn’t new. Every time I feel hurt, I fall so deeply into my depressive state. It also does not help that my feelings are hurt so easily. All my life “you’re too sensitive!”. But I’m freaking 37 and I still can’t just let something go without hours or days of hurting. I likely have more mental health issues than I am currently diagnosed with. I’ve had extremely limited, next to no mental health services. I have been trying to get myself to a therapist that can help me understand myself better. Because this level of sadness and rejected feelings can’t be normal.

Ik how it can be sometimes. I'm only 20 and trust me it's not easy for anyone to let things go. It takes time to learn and even then somethings just stick more than others

it definitely not a overkill. I try so hard to soothe myself and calm down. But I become so fixated. It’s scary to feel so out of control.
