Feeling emotional sometimes

Does anyone feel like this sometimes; you feel great then suddenly you start thinking about something or someone then you feel like you want to cry. This happened to me the other day. It was a great day, everything was going well and I was sitting laughing with my friend in McDonalds when suddenly I went quiet. I started thinking about my long-distance relationship and how much I missed my lovely boyfriend. I could feel the tears welling in my eyes, my friend didn't take any notice and just kept going on and on about some rubbish. I couldn't stand listening to her and just went home. I feel ok now but it happens sometimes, I just go quiet and feel a bit teary :frown:
And if it's not about my boyfriend, its about my future ambitions and if I'll ever make it.
I feel like that all the time, i think it's just what you go through when you're a teenager - try to block out unhappy thoughts with happy things, look forward to seeing your bf next and work hard to do well in the future. As for your friend maybe you should talk to her and tell her you don't feel she listens to you cos she should have tried to cheer you up.

I went through it a few years ago with hormones and teenager stuff.
I'm getting it again though, I just tend to have a good cry, make sure no one knows why I'm crying or that I have cried. And forget about it and carry on.
It's not the best way to handle it as people get annoyed when you bottle things up, it's not healthy but different people deal with things in different ways.

You're not alone.:smile:

I'm not friends with her anymore, she was acting very cold and telling me to "get over it" as well as just being a patronising bitch. She was snappy on the phone to me this morning so I told her I want nothing more to do with her. She wasn't a friend to me at all.
By the way, your advice about thinking happy thoughts is right. :smile:
You know. I think it is pretty normal. How old ru? May be u had ur pms? it is very normal to have mood changes when u have pms. or when ur a teenager...I think this kind of stuff happened to every person who writes in this forum. so dont worry.
p.s. and it is very very normal to be worried about ur future or to have sad feeling when u r far away frm ur bf. :smile:

I'm 18, at uni. Thats going great, I love student life but when I come back from a week with my boyfriend I feel happy and contented until a few days later when I really miss him. Just the other night I had sleep paralysis and it was like I could feel someone hugging me and could hear snoring. It felt like my boyfriend was there again :frown:
I accept I'm not alone and everyone feels like this sometimes, but I am so sensitive! All I have to do is listen to Lou Reed's Perfect Day and I'm off in tears.

try to listen to Luis Armstrong "what a wonderful world" instead :smile: It can help. :wink:
I understand u, since I am in a distant relationships as well. It IS pretty hard. But U know what u should think about when u have these crisises? You should think about next time u meet ur bf, how he will hug and kiss you. And u should just look forward to these days. But dont let urself be sad, but enjoy ur Uni life instead. So everyone wud look at u and ask 'who is this happy girl that smiles all the time' Trust me, it is possible to make ur day urself. And trust me, ppl will get more attracted to you, if ur in a better mood. Even ur bf. (btw it is very hard for our bfs when we are sad, coz of them, I mean when we miss them, crying on the phone, coz they dont know what to do, coz they cant do anth. So, cheer up and u will make a favour for ur bf :smile: ))

You have just quoted 3 days out of every week of my life.

I totally understand how hard it is. I couldn't sleep for a week after Christmas when my boyfriend had been there and it felt like someone was in the bed.

I get feelings like you've described. If I do I call someone, watch a movie, listen to music or eat something nice.

Good for you for dumping the "friend." Friends should be there to help you.
