Are you finding a lot of things making you feel a bit tearful and emotional lately? Romantic/tragic moments in movies? Sad, or beautiful songs? Is the 'help' you feel mom and dad aren't giving right now a massive issue, that is really getting to you? Or something quite small? Something you could maybe resolve on your own with some effort? We do have moments, spells and longer periods when we do 'feel more deeply' and are more sensitive, to criticism, brush-off's, and a being a bit neglected. That's all quite natural. Doesn't mean you are having some sort of crisis/breakdown. Maybe at another time, exactly the same situation that is making you cry now would be like water shedding off a duck's back. Wouldn't worry you one bit? It might be a good idea to identify your reactions and isolate them from the actual situations that are causing them. If they seem, in all honesty like what you would call 'an over-reaction' in someone else then I'd let the tearful moments pass right now. As it's just a mood-thing and these can and will turn and turn again all through life. Some people are always prone to an certain over-sensitivity. Some are better at disguising it (or they learn to be). Some are as 'thick-skinned as an elephant', as you might say, and hardly ever have sensitive moments!
