A sea of emotions
My psyche is labile. It means that I can easily become overwhelmed by things that more stable people can handle. For example, I need perfect conditions and certain rituals for sleeping, like stopping all conversation an hour before bedtime. Sometimes I can't fall asleep because I'm sad or excited - anything can ruin it.
I was so happy to meet my friend yesterday that I had to take a break - I washed the dishes alone, listening to calm music, and then I took a shower.
Although I didn't get much sleep and feel terrible, I'm glad to be going to work today, because it gives me some personal space, and routine always saves me from my own sea of emotions. However, I really want to get together with my friend again.

I feel like it’d sound better if you combined these two sentences
I was so happy to meet my friend yesterday that I had to take a break - I washed the dishes alone, listeninged to calm music, and then I took a shower.
Since you’re talking in the past tense, the verb “listen” should be in the past tense. If you were talking about listening to music while washing the dishes, you could say something like “I washed the dishes alone while I listened to calm music”
Although I didn't get much sleep and feel terrible, I'm glad to be going to work today, because it gives me some personal space, and a routine always saves me from my own sea of emotions.
However, I really want to get together withsee my friend again.
This sounds more natural

Thank you for your help!
A sea of emotions
My psyche is labile.
The word “labile” is extremely rare in regular spoken English. So is this phrasing. Since you explain it right after this sentence, I think one way to say this is, “I have emotional lability.”
It means that I can easily become overwhelmed by things that more stable people canmight be able to handle.
What you wrote is grammatically perfect, but it sounds like people who seem more stable have a 100% success rate, which sounds a little weird.
For example, I need perfect conditions and certain rituals before sleeping, like stopping all conversation an hour before bedtime.
Sometimes I can't fall asleep because I'm sad or excited - —anything can ruin itmy sleep.
What you wrote is grammatically correct here too, but a good habit in English is to change “it” to its referent if there exists any ambiguity or if you haven’t mentioned “it” for a while. Lifelong English speakers have a bad habit of ignoring this guideline too, though!

Making shorter sentences where you can is a good way to improve flow and readability.
Feedback
Your writing is excellent! Because of that, I offered high-level suggestions to increase emotionality and flow, but I don’t think any of my suggestions are necessary. I believe I struggle with similar issues myself. У меня обсессивно-компульсивное расстройство. It’s not easy!

Thank you for your kind words and the corrections!
I'm sorry you're going through this. If you don't mind me asking, when did you realize something was wrong? How do you cope with it?

I’m autistic and I have ADHD, OCD, and a few other issues. I try to spend time with my hobbies and my girlfriend. Sometimes when it gets bad, I just resort to distraction with TV and video games! One thing I recently did that has been some help is this treatment! https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Транскраниальная_магнитная_стимуляция
I hope things get easier for you! It sounds like you’ve had to deal with a lot!
