There is something not quite right...

I just read a post in GC, that mentioned an atomic kittens song... "It's OK"... I thought of it in my head, and y'know how sometimes you drift off and you can literally HEAR the song until you snap out of it, well... I was in one of those trances... and when I snpped out of it... I was crying...

Im now sat here, crying my eyes out over a song i dont even like but, something in the words got to me...

"you're not here but it's, ok
I assure you babe its, alright
you ain't keeping me up, all night
no more..."


I'm just trying to trace where this overwhelming feeling came from... I mean, I've had a shitty night but... I didnt know I was feeling this bad inside... I know people hide how bad they feel from other people but, do people often hide it from themselves??

Ramble over...

(by the way, I'll kill for that song, anyone thats got it, and is willing to send it, PM me PLEASE!!)

Hope you feel better.
By the sounds of it you had all that emotion bottled up inside of you, the song just triggered it to come out. U didnt mean hide it, but i reckon u just didnt realise cos u didnt think too much about it (prob by keeping urself busy). The song probably gave u the first opportunity to reflect on recent events.. so thats when it all hits u.
Dont worry,
hope u feel much better soon

THis happens a lot to me. It tends to be when I listen to music which makes me reminisce. I was doing this yesterday - having a good cry over Beethoven 6. I actually find it really relieves stress and clears my mind expecially when I spend my life surrounded by so much music.

You can bottle things up sub-conciously. It's not so much hiding it from yourself as just not having the feelings rise to the surface yet. But they always do, and as I say with most things... better out than in!

yeah i did that the other night. i was listeneing to an album that i hadnt listened to for ages but i had listened to loads last year when i was having a really bad time. For some reason just hearing the music brought back all the emotions id been feeling at the time and i felt exactly how i did then, so vivd!. it was awful and it shocked me that that could happen. last time i get that album out for a while lol!

WOW, thanks guys, its good to know that Im not just ramdomly crying on my own...

The thing is, the song isnt from the past... well, it is but, not from MY past... I dunno... I feel fine now tho, it seems like a minor hitch in the great cycle of things - DRAMA OVER!! arent I good?? :rolleyes:

omg- the same thing happened to me today! i heard a song on the radio (never heard it before, duno wot it was!) and then just found myself crying my eyes out about breaking up with my ex which was over a year ago and i haven't thought about him at all in at least 6 months- ok he was my first love and i was with him for 2 years but i thought i was completely over that??!

hmmm, music and the possibilities it invoking intersubjective consciousness - it's quite a big, important, and unresearched topic - I think I might do my third year dissertation on it.

I cry all the damn time. It must be a personal de-stress mechanism for me. Maybe that's the case for you too?

The last time I cried was when my grandma died... and all that emotion built up inside me until the funeral... and I didnt explode then... I felt way way worse than u wudda thought from the crying... it was like a whole, heart ripped out kinda thing... I've never felt that bad...

I didnt feel that bad last night, I think it was more of a release of everything lately... I dunno... I mean, Im not having the best of times but, I've been in worse situations!!

Anyway, I hardly ever cry... maybe thats my problem?? :confused:

I hope you're better now.
