I just feel like crying right now.

I get like this a lot, because I always bottle up my emotions. I feel like I can't express myself to anyone, and I can't let out how I feel. I feel so trapped, like everyone expects me to be constantly happy. If I do ever let out how I feel, people just blow it off as "teenage angst" or "it's just that time of the month". And that just pisses me off so much, which kinda defeats the whole purpose. I mean, you have no idea how much it pisses me off when people do that. I remember, ever since I was really little, things like that have pissed me off more than anything else.

So basically, I don't know what to do. Like I said, I just feel so trapped. The only thing I've found that helps is laying on my back on the floor in my room, turning my music up loud, and just singing. But that's really just a temporary thing.

I bottled up my emotions for 2 months... it ended in me having an emotional break down. Its a horrible thing to do. You just need to find a friend who you can trust to talk to whenever you need to let it out. I have done so, and its a total relief... find someone whos like you, and knows it isn't fake teen angst...

I hope to help.

I've been doing it pretty much my whole life. neutral Whenever I end up trying to talk to someone (usually it ends up being my mom) I'll end up crying about some little thing. And I hate crying in front of people.

Another problem is that I hate when people worry about me. sweatdrop So I won't tell people anything.

I've pretty much figured out that most of my big problems started in elementary school and that I did them to myself. sweatdrop

Errm, I suggest not talking to you mom. They always say things that make you feel worse. Still, try to find a friend. And no ones going to not worry. I'm like you, I hate when people worry about me, but I've learned to just ignore it.
I was well, to put it lightly.. a hormonal b***h in elementry school. I've learned to not cry in front of people, and to control my anger. But its always great to tell a friend things. Like, possibly talk to them online, that way, if you cry, they don't know? = ]

No offense Silver, but i disagree with you.
i think you should talk to your mom. Even though you might start crying, its better than not saying a word to anyone about it and making the situation get the best of you. Don't worry if you cry in front of her, its just your mom. She's not going to make fun of you or something of the sort, she'll most likely help you figure out what's wrong and try to help you with the situation.

To help it you could maybe just go to your room and let all your emotions out. Turn up your music real loud if you dont like people hearing you cry. Go to a good friend that you trust and can talk to about anything. Tell her how you feel and stand up to the people that tell you those things. Thats what i would do at least.

I hope i helped.

Err, I say not talk to your mom, because my mum is the type of person to laugh and make fun of me... -_-'

bottling your emotions up is the worst thing you could ever do. Though, i do it sometimes and at the end i start bawling my eyes out. I do that at school for most of the time. I go in the bathroom after skool and cry my eyes out.
At home i cant.
My friend that i tell everything to goes to a different skool than me.
Soo, yeah.
Telling my mom makes it worse cuz all she does is hug me and such and say everythings ok and thats all.
also writting your feelings down on paper then burning or throwing it away is a really good way to get rid of ur feelings and such....
i dont like it when people worry about me either, it makes me feel like everyone HAS to pay attention to me and i dont really like that.

No offence Silver, but telling people NOT to talk to their mum about things because your mum would laugh at you isnt good. Just because your mum woudl laugh doesnt mean no one shoudl ever tell their mum anything. No offence meant by this just somethign i think.

Okay on to Jello:

I do the same, i dont like people knowing how i feel, i don tlike people knowing when im sad and stuff because im always worried that people are bishing about me and saying that im pathetic or somethign like that. I also HATE crying around people, especially my mum. But i find talking to my mum is good thing as shes with me all the time and always there for me and stuff. Not saying you shoudl talk to your mum because i do. If you have a good bond with your mum then yeah you shoudl talk to her.

But a good cry now and then helps everything. Its good to cry, gets things out. Like Funky said, turn music up and block the room so no one can get in and just have a cry. If im upset i tend to cry at night, so then i can go to sleep once i've cried and no one woudl suspect a thing.

I say that you should try talk to someone. Be it a close friend or a family member. Or even just rant in a journal or something. I find it helps to talk to someone you REALLY trust, or just rant in a journal. It gets emotions out and then gives me chance to get over things.

Crying always helps xD

Diary! Burn it after it's filled with bad memories. ;D

Urg. Bottling emotions sucks. Because you know it'll eventually come out. D;

Pick a friend to vent to. But if you keep it in much longer...

...I don't know. D;
