I am a very emotional person even though I take psych meds that should help me stay calm and get over whatever I'm stressing about. I'm the type who cries at movies or hear bad news. Even if I don't know the person who is having the problem I can't deal with it very well. I've never had bad news about myself so don't know how I'm going to handle some bad news that is coming up. How do you handle your emotions? Do you cry easily or just get through it with no emotions?

I can say that I can handle my emotions well. I don't get myself into trouble that could lead to get other people's attention. But it may always depends on the situation. But I haven't been to a situation where I embarrased myself or I embarassed someone infront of other people. Yes, I do cry into drama movies. If my tears feel like going out, I just let it. But I see to it that nobody won't notice it, if someone can notice it, it will just be my sister, or my boyfriend. LOL

It depends on the situation I guess. At times I can go through something and not cry. On the inside I'll be hurting but I won't let it show through. But then there are other times when I just can't help myself and I cry my eyes out. I tend to be very emotional and I'll get emotional very easily, whether it be sad or angry. Sometimes I'll cry or get angry over the littlest thing that I shouldn't even get upset about. I don't know why it happens, it just does for me sometimes.

When I was younger I had an anger problem but since have worked on it and seldom get angry any more.

I do not think I can control my emotion well. But as to be a teacher, it is not right to take my own emotion into the class which may have a negetive effect on my students. So now, I try to learn some methods to control myself, taking a deep breath or speaking slowly can help me make less mistakes.

I am very emotional, but I do not show it to everyone. I cried while watching sad movies and hear bad news on TV. It is a normal feeling and we were build like that and we cannot change that. We can only learn to control it and live with it.

My constellation is Cancer,so actually I am not good at control my emotions especially when I was a child. In some days of every month I feel upset and periodic depressed. so I think if it's inevitable why not let it going,since time will solve everything.

I have struggled with depression for a number of years but was able to get through thanks to modern medicine. I have since come off the meds, mostly because I didn't really like the way they made me feel, and now just try to handle my emotions as best as I can. My bad days seem to come in waves, but I can now recognize when they are on the way and have learned to relax when I feel that time coming.

My emotions use to take me on a roller coaster ride.. Not always knowing why my emotions where this way or that.. I also should be on psych meds they help.. Just havent gotten up the nerve to see new doctors.. I handle most of my ups and downs, but if they get to be too much I will come on here and write, it may not be about what is on my mind but just writing helps.. I have a neighbor who I can talk to if I need to see a human being for more then a couple seconds while my sister is at work.. Then I have people who I can call and get help if it goes that far.. But lately I keep most of what I am feeling to myself.. I feel like people would not understand; or be judgemental.. So I say nothing, then I dont have to hear anyone elses opinion.. Right or wrong that is just the way I am right now..

I am very bad with handling my emotions. But I don't take any meds. Believe me when I say, those prescriptions will only make me feel worse later. My body never really take anything unnatural. I have my own stresses. The last time I almost kicked the bucket but I survived. I was feeling bad because I worried about my grades, my project and that my health is deteriorating and many more. The latter was due to my worries that I refresh every night before I go to sleep. My health problems started with head-aches at first and later it went down to the pain on my neck and yada yada. I got worse. I was bed-ridden. I was giving up already until one night I decided to get up from bed by myself and went out and just sat on our living room. From there I can see the outside of my house. I just sat there. A few minutes...maybe hours later, dawn arrived. I got to tell you, it's one of the best things in life most of us disregard. Here's how I handle my emotions, whenever I feel stressed, sad, angry--anything negative--I get up in the evening, go to my living room and sit there and wait for the dawn. Nature has its own way of calming me. And this calmness led me to try living one more day and recovered.

I can handle my emotins well in all kinds of situation. Well, not all, but I can't handle my emotions when it comes to men. I mean a news from men that treat women very unfair like sexism or whatever. I sometimes react so easily and so, I avoid this kind of scene as much as possible.

I am very emotional too ! I easily reacts to some situations. When i am happy , my face and gestures will show it and when i am sad and depress like the whole world will know it , i tweet it , write in blogs and in other prints. I never know how to cover myself. I can be read easily. I am not a hypocrite showing whats is beautiful only , i show everything , ugly and beautiful , good and bad.

I will go to cafe and eat many thing I like. I always do that when I get angry or sad. And after that I will go to quite place and try to remember anything has happen. Sometimes it can help me but some times I can't still control my emotion. I think I need time to forget a bad thing that happen in my life

We are people of emotions, so we are emotional. But its in us how to control or deal with our emotions. Im like you, im easily moved with tears while watching movies, but sometimes i really convinced myself that its just movies. But theres nothing wrong with being emotional just have the power to control.
