Crying but having no idea why you are upset

So I just finished watching a movie and it was actually pretty funny but for some reason I just feel like crying and I don't know why. I am the type of person that doesn't show any emotion besides happiness or basic anger, any other type of emotion I keep bottled up. I think its just that it is one of the times where all of the things going on in my life have reached their threshold and must come out. I really hate when this happens because everyone ask if I am okay but really if I am cry there is obviously something wrong. How do you deal with those days where it feels like the weight of the world rest on your shoulders?

I do that all the time. Sometimes I just break down and cry so much that I don't know why I cry. It's like you said sometimes I just keep things bottled up and it finally overflows and I burst into tears. I need to figure something else out instead of bottling up my emotions.

I choose to deal it with my parents and alao my friends.They are the persons that know me.So i have to say it out loud and really feel less stressed.however,that mostly depend on you to adjust the attitude.

As they say, "There are good days, and there are bad days, but life goes on no matter what." Having and keeping an open mind and being aware of things around you would probably make one understand that it would all pass through even how heavy the burden is, and hopefully with enough positive thoughts, eventually any bad day would just pass by.

I also have one of those days, which I felt like crying but I don't certainly know for what reason. sometime's I get frustrated and think everything goes wrong but I can't really figure out what's wrong.

i am the type of person that doesn't show my true feelings towards something. i don't show to the people that i am hurt. but sometimes, i just can't take it all anymore, i cry. really cry. i let out my hurt feelings from past situations to the present in one loud cry. my friend once wondered why i cried when somebody told me i was fat. they didn't know that i cried not only because i was called fat but because of my past hurt feelings. they thought it was really weird.

I hate having days like this. I usually just get on with things and try and be happy and do fun thing. I always watch a movie when I feel really down. Friday is a good one that always makes me laugh when feeling down.

Today I had "one of those days". You know the type where everything goes wrong? I was at work and was thinking "Today is the day I make the big mistake and get fired." I don't want to be fired but I do at the same time. I've had days where I just start crying, even if I am watching something happy because at that time my life just feels so bad. So yes, I know how you feel. I do hope that you can get over this and claw out of this hole. It's hard, but it's possible.

I have those days too. All of a sudden you feel down and want to just have a good cry. I don't really know what set it off but I just feel so open to sadness that all the things that make me sad in the past come rushing back to me. When those times come I usually lock myself up in my room and listen to really sad songs. Then I just let myself cry. I usually cry myself to sleep. When I wake up, I'm usually fine. It's like I just have to let it out of my system so I'll be okay. Take care!
