Why do I feel this way?

Recently, as in the past six months or so, I sometimes feel an unexplained desire to cry. I have no idea why I've started feeling this way. I'm very happy with my life and while I have all the usual ups and downs, challenges and obstacles, I consider myself very fortunate. I am not sad when I get this feeling, but it seems to be brought on when I have some particularly emotional response to something. It's usually just little things that bring it on, like seeing some kids playing in a park, or the way my girlfriend's hair tucks behind her ear, when I finally get to lay down at the end of the day in bed, or even if I sit down and I'm about to have a meal that I really enjoy.

I don't associate this feeling with sadness, but it's almost as if I have a very strong emotional response that I am unable to express in any external way, so I end up feeling like I want to cry. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about at all, or am I just going crazy?
 
You were probably emotionally stunted as a child. I had that problems early in the my teen years... I was a military brat and spent long periods by my self as a child. I bottled up my feelings and expressed them in the form of depression and anger outbursts. Later on I finally got a hold of it and worked out with professional counselling.

This is just a guess, so take it for what it's worth.

Nah, I know exactly what you are talking about. I am not sad or depressed with my life either, but sometimes I will see something emotional or think of something emotional (a little kid hugging their parents, or an old couple holding hands) and I feel like I wanna just start crying. It usually stops after my eyes fill up and I starting yelling at myself for being such a wimp. 😀
 
if charter cant help you, someone will 😉

j/k

i dunno, maybe its just changes in your life and such...not sure...
 
If its been going on for 6 months and there is no good explantion for your feelings, I would seek the advice of a trained professional. It may become more serious, or go away, but do you really want to take that chance.

I had a pretty normal childhood and while I suppose it could be that but I doubt it. Maybe it is something having to do with bottling up emotion and having no release for it, both good and bad, but I've never been that type of person anyway and I have opportunities for release.
 
don't try to stop it. just let it all out. buy a giant-sized stuffed animal and cry on its shoulder if you have to. just get it all out asap 🙂
