I can't stop crying

 

Check these out, too...

  • I have no talents. Why am I so boring?
  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • 10 things to tell your mom anytime
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • My dad is sexually abusing me. How can I tell my mom?
I cry at night for no reason, but I feel dorky talking to a school counselor.

 

Dear Help!

You’d feel dorky talking to a counselor? You’re feeling miserable now! Remember that counselors have heard it all. People in helping professions would never laugh or make fun of you. They want to help. So stop by the counselor’s office and open up. You’ll be glad you did. You might figure out what’s causing your crying spells, or that they’re simply hormonal.

I know exactly what you mean. My last boyfriend says that I get too emotional too eaisily. I think that he's right. I am always either super happy, super depressed, super angry, or super out of it. I don't know why I am this way. if anyone has an answer, or even a suggestion as to why I have these extreme emotions, please write me back.

MOD MOD MOD it's kinda urgent!!!!
Ok so I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow and my period ended Wednesday, it had been like 30 days before my last period, if that makes sense? So pretty much it was 30 days before my last period which lasted until Wednesday. I've been working out a lot because of track and yesterday I did a ton of crunches. My side, near my abs has just started hurting. Do you think I'm fine? Or do you think my period's coming again?

Hey girl,

Your side is probably hurting because it's sore from your exercises, not because of your period. Try doing some stretches to make it less sore. As for your period, bring some pads or tampons on vacation with you in case it comes while you're there. Don't worry about when it's coming, though -- it'll still be a great vacation whether or not you have your period! Have a great trip!

I do the same thing, and then after that I feel better about myself. I have no idea why.

Ugh. My mother is my problem.
Okay, so I really love writing. I've always loved writing. But my mom is always telling me that I can't sit at a computer all the time and that I need to find something to do. But writing is my hobby.
Mom just can't stop telling me to Join a sport, join a club, or something else.
But I hate playing sports! I'm already involved at enough AT school! But she IS NOT an understanding person. She never listens no matter HOW I approach her.
What should I do?? Frown

 

Hey! maybe if you kept a journal on pen and paper she wouldn't object as much. give it a try Smile

I do the same thing. I cry for absolutely no reason, and if I do have a reason, I'm not able to sleep until I pass out.
