crying
i feel awful lately and i dont know why. i'm in 10th grade and have had a really awesome time up until about a month ago. Since then i get upset easier and i never know why i feel so i upset. I've had this great boyfriend for almost 4 months now, but he's pulling away, probably because i can never tell him why i'm in such a bad mood recently. today, he pulled me into his arms, and i started crying. i tried to hide it and he didnt say anything about it, but i'm pretty sure he got that i was upset. then i started crying during my math test but stopped myself before anyone noticed. now here i am, crying again. what's wrong with me?

Since the crying doesn't seem to be triggered by an event or even a thought, my guess is that it's caused by a hormonal imbalance. When my wife was taking hormone pills to induce ovulation (we were trying to get pregnant) the hormones would cause her to cry without provocation. I'm wondering if your crying episodes coincide with your menstrual cycle. Perhaps you could meet with your school nurse.

hmm it seems like it's juss an emotional time for you. i'm in 10th grade too & i'm seeming to be more..emotional i guess & mood swingy. idk why either!! you juss have to pull yourself through it. stay with your bf. he can help you & you don't want to drive him away by you being in a bad mood. try staying in a good mood for him & think about the bad stuff at other times. he can help you out.
-hope that helped!♥

I can think of a few possibilities:
1) It's pretty rough being a teenager. Even if nothing major has happened to you lately, sometimes the little things can pile up. Have you had a chance to talk to a trusted adult lately? One that you can talk to about everything and anything? You need a confidante to help navigate the teenage years.
2) Something in your life is perhaps upsetting you, but it's hard for you to know what it is. Sometimes people aren't completely aware of why they feel the way that they feel, and need to talk to a counselor to gain awareness.
3) There is a condition called depression, in which one may feel more sad than usual. Sometimes depression results from people getting overwhelmed from life problems. Other times, depression is caused by biochemical changes (remember, you're a teenager) and medication treatment is necessary. I can't diagnose depression, and nor should you try to self-diagnose. See a counselor if you think you might have depression. You may also want to talk to a medical doctor, because sometimes medical problems of the physical sort can throw the body off balance so much that a person experiences depression. Your brain, including the emotional parts of your brain, requires your body to be healthy to function properly.
In short- I think you owe it to yourself to talk to a counselor at school or in your community about how you feel. Also check with your doctor. Give yourself a gift today and let someone else listen to your feelings. You don't need to feel ashamed of feeling the way you do. If you feel that you can't talk to him/her easily, you can print out your letter and show it to him/her to help start the conversation.
