Maybe you just need to cry. Tears are our body's way of trying to tell us something - they can express frustration, sadness, anxiety, anger. Sometimes the more you try to fight tears and your body, the more likely you are to cry!

The next time you feel you need a weep, try going into a private space like your bedroom where you can be as sad and melodramatic as you want. Really let all those feelings hang out and express themselves.

You might be surprised at how this affects your need to cry. And when you start feeling more in tune with yourself, you might try activities to help balance you out and further strengthen positive things - pampering yourself, writing, meditation, art, friends, sports. These will also help you shed anxiety and stress, which will also have an affect on the tears.

Best of luck.

Make chainmail. Knit a sweater for chipmunks displaced by hurrican katrina. Learn to juggle. Hit stuff. Write angsty poetry.

Exercise!
Listen to happy music.
Some people listen to sad music to feel understood.

Just don't stuff your face or starve yourself.

When im mad or angry, i go to my room and listen to music. Another thing that works extrememly well for me and my other friends are to write what your feeling down. I know it may sound like old fashion, but it really works! "catharsis" its the best way to get your feelings out. On paper! Trust me it will work you will feel alot better! But make sure that you write your exact feelings down as if nobody was going to read it. And if you want nobody has to read it. Hope i helped!

I've found that listening to music, taking a walk, taking a shower, or a combination of those can help. Another thing thing that you can do is find a "special place" for yourself. As silly as this sounds it works. Before I went to college, whenever I got upset I'd go outside and climb up to a particular spot in a particular tree and sit there for awhile. Life can get tough at times and I hope that you feel better soon. Good luck.

When i get that worked up ... which i happen to do alot, i write lists of everything thats bothering me. it doesnt matter how long or short as long as your honest and get everything out. While you write these lists listen to your favorite music, the best is really mellow, like my favorite is indie rock (the shins) it soothes you and isnt so loud you cant think which tends to make things worse. good luck and relax it'll all be okay, even when it seems like it wont. (btw getting a hug from someone you love also helps)

Sounds stupid, I know, but take a deep breath in, and a deep breath out. Do this 5 to 10 times. Slowly.

Here are some of the things I do when I cry or feel upset and want to feel better, try it and I hope they work for you:

1. Air guitar to Since You've Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson

2. Listen to music really loudly

3. Try to draw my feelings on paper by scribbling

4. Punching bag

5. Listen to some comedy, like Dane Cook

6. Eat a big bowl of ice cream, because lets face it - food is awesome.

Try doing those things, I know they seem pointless, but I hope thats what you were looking for. Hey one thing I read in a medical magazine [my parents are doctors] is to blow bubbles in the shower or anywhere else. Really. Sounds crazy and childish, but it is very relaxing. I tried it once, and got so caught up [because really, how often do we do that] that I completely forgot about feeling upset and wanting to cry until I spilled the soap everywhere =( Talking to anyone is always a good thing to do - there will always be somebody willing to listen to you. Hope that helped and feel better.

Sometimes you just have to let it all out and cry.
Take a walk around your block or in a park.
Also I suggest you listen to the song "Everything Burns" by Ben Moody ft. Anastacia and just relax.

Unfortunatly when you're that upset that all you can do is cry, the best thing to do is cry. Sure, you can take some deep breaths and try to start there. From there I'd suggest writing down what's bothering you, like in a journal or something. Also talking to someone like your parents or another trusted adult might not hurt.
That's the best plan I can come up with, and it's one that usually works for me so...well, I hope you can calm down and be able to decide which things are worth getting upset over and which aren't.
good luck.
