I think you have to let yourself cry. Whenever I received bad news like a rejection to a school, or a bad day, or a broken heart, my Dad would always say "let yourself feel like this for [X] amount of time and then remember where you were heading before you felt like this and go get back to getting there." It's okay to cry! But don't forget that life is going on all around you while you do. You could end up missing out on something so good! So let yourself cry but remember to let yourself live too!

I'm sorry that you've been having a rough time recently. Have you taken some time to journal? Maybe that will help you gain a better understanding of what's causing you to feel this way. Another thing that may be helpful is spending some time alone in nature. Just taking a walk or relaxing there may help you feel calm once again. Do you have people who are available to support you? If not, please remember that there are listeners available who really care about you. Maybe take a moment to talk to one of them. Hopefully some of these things will help and you'll feel better soon.

Sorry to hear that you are experiencing this. It sounds like you might be having something going on in your life at this time that might be causing your some distress? Or perhaps you are dealing with a chemical imbalance that you are aware of that could be causing this to happen otherwise? Being seen by your healthcare provider and explaining how you've been feeling could help in getting you the answers that you are looking for. And they could possibly place you on the right path to seek further help if needed with a counselor or therapist that can help further. If this is something that you've been dealing with for longer than you'd like and you're feeling this way, taking that first step to talk to someone you trust, or seeking your healthcare provider could help.

Even when it's hard to stop feeling down about something, it can be really helpful to distract yourself for a few minutes. Everybody will find comfort in different things, so think about what you'd like to do! Maybe it's listening to music, working out, or calling a friend to talk. Doing something different with your mind can help soothe the emotional pain that you're feeling, and you deserve to take care of yourself! Sometimes the first step to finding a long-term solution is giving yourself a little bit of rest, and taking your mind off of things for a minute can help you in the future.

A good cry really helps with letting go of all your sadness and stress that you're holding in. But sometimes you cant stop crying for days on end and it makes you feel absolutely gutted and empty. Personally for me, I like to listen to music until I feel better or workout. Anything that can distract you. Journaling also helps me understand my feelings better. Make a list of things you are grateful for or proactive things that you can do to make your situation better. Meditating has really helped me long term too. It makes you realize that you exist as an entity outside your problems and sadness. Really great stuff. You need to figure out what will help you. I hope you feel better soon
