Mine was similar.

I had to speak to my head of 6th form a couple of weeks ago, I don't know what it was but I was sleep deprived and very sad that day. When she spoke to me, I was biting my lip and tongue and thinking of whatever I could not to just burst out into tears. I was so close to tears I felt so embarrassed.

I didn't realise you were still at school. Anyway, you're stronger than me, I burst into tears right in front of mine. I wanted the ground to chomp me all up.

I was doing this language course to improve my German in Berlin (I love Berlin).
But while I was doing that, I stayed for 2 weeks with someone whom I ended hating.
We had this really bad argument one morning, I felt really bad all day, I cried myself to sleep and then I cried on the phone to my parents.
It was terrible.

Definitely the night I came home from the hospital after I had to have surgery on a broken ankle.... That feeling I had is something I wouldn't wish on anyone, even my worst enemy

Only a little while left now, and then I'm free :smile:

I don't think crying is a sign of weakness, but I just really didn't want to cry infront of her because she is horrible, I told her I was having a bit of a tough time (without going into detail), and she said "Oh but everyone has tough times". I honestly felt so sad and embarrassed I'd even said that to her. But she wanted me to justify my attendance, and that was the only way I could say it. I didn't want to tell her everything, she doesn't have the right to know everything either. I also wanted the ground to swallow me up. We were standing outside and I couldn't even look her in the eye, I stared at the sun so hard it blurred my vision, I honestly did everything in my power not to cry that day...that was a tough day :frown:

"Official" breakup conversations aren't very fun. Next time I'll just sleep with her sister, and let her sort it out. Or mother. Or father. I'm an equal opportunities a*sehole

It does sound pretty complicated

Giving birth was emotionally intense: Happy, Scared, Terrified, thought she was dead-she wasn't, elated, sooooo in love, exhausted.

I didn't know you were a jaw surgeon. So impressive.

I had a phase in Year 8/9 when for about a month I'd have repeated full-blown panic/anxiety attack in which I couldn't speak; I was shaking but I couldn't move. That feeling of utter confusion - the world spinning around you - and the embarrassment of being in that state in front of a whole class or even in an assembly is so vividly horrible.

For my part I would say that having my heart broken was infinitely more intensely painful than sleeping rough without proper food for several days.

My pet ate one of my prized onions that I grow in my swamp. I dealt with the situation by ripping its' eye out of its' socket and using it to sweeten my cocktail.

I'd say it was when my parents put me in the spaceship and said "Luke, you will grow to manhood under a yellow sun", before sending me to Earth.

But seriously, either when Liverpool lost to chelsea when I thought for all the world we'd win the league, or when Gerrard played his last game at Anfield. I was at both those games, absolutely killed me.

I think that would be when I was called to have a meeting with the head of sixth form in year 12. I think the mix of embarrassment, devastation and hurt that I felt in that room and the hours afterwards were definitely perhaps the worst I've ever felt, emotionally.

This is an identical feeling to one i had, which was horrible.

For me it was year 13 parents evening. I'd already told my mum not to come for fear of what would happen.

At the time me and my family were caring for my gran with dementia and were also involved in an abusive relationship with my mother's partner who was an alcoholic and a deeply controlling individual.

As a result i'd mostly given up on my A-levels, and was binge eating and playing video games in order to escape the shouting from downstairs.

So i got to parents evening and both my favourite teachers told me how they felt i was not going to be able to pass the subject and i just immediately burst into tears, the type of uncontrollable crying and i was escorted out of the room by the head. It was the worst feeling in the world, the lowest point i've ever reached and when i think back to it today i still get a deeply uncomfortable emotional feeling: My muscles tense, my stomach tightens and i feel a sudden urge to crawl into bed or somewhere else where i can just try and relax.

Luckily i can say things are much better today. I passed 3 of my 4 A levels with the highest being a B and i've learnt to value myself without relying on grades for self worth.

Sorry for the super long post, and to anyone who is in the same situation as me: SPEAK to someone, ANYONE. Even if it's one of those anonymous help lines. For me talking about my issues were one of the best coping mechanisms for living with them.
