"it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday. "
I have spent the my life in search of the truth. I have felt the spectrum of emotion until I've felt gray inside. This pursuit of mine has left me confused and weary. Yet there are moments where I find pure knowledge and bliss when I emerge from the confusion. Just like the quote above, I tried so desperately to cling on to all the beauty at once and just like sand falling through a clutching hand I felt weak again. Yet through all this struggle I have realized something. Something that doesn't need words...

Wm. Blake and other mystics said similar things.
The realest things in life -- love, truth, God, friendship -- can't reallly be explained using words. We can touch on them lambently, but get to their meat, their core? That can't be done with consonants and vowels.
"Confused and weary" "gray inside" "struggle" "weak" "pure knowledge and bliss" are things that everybody experiences: everybody who is actively trying to find truth and meaning in his life. You just put it better than most of us.
Great quote, too.

Mysticism - it's the right brain phenomenon. Mysticism and the beauty of poetry... they can really sway you in the most passionate manner. We can only hope to remain sane, or at least alive from these relapses. That's why we the more rational thinking left brain so we don't end up blowing ourselves from unexplainable experiences.
It's not that it doesn't need words to explain ... words are just inadequate to even try.

You may be bi-polar or manic. My sister is and you sound just like her.

I think you're over thinking everything. Here's another quote that might help:
"Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body and the Mind."

That feeling is called compassion, and it is indescribable.
It exists in many different forms. Search for it in other people's experience. Art, literature, science(yes science), philosophy.
Peace.

It's incredible.
Amazing what the human spirit conceives, promulgates and shares.
