The reason you're emotional is due to being at a young age or being upset it causes you to become very emotional. You are very hurt at the moment and that is how your mind responds to it. If you ever need someone to vent to I'm always here!

It could depend on your environmental situation, such as work, school or family life. Or it could be due to hormones and biological issues. You also have to take into account whether you enjoy what you do everyday. Even if you don't enjoy school or work, find something that you can take up in your spare time that can work as an escape for you, to take you to a place where you can feel calm and happy, whether that is listening to music, drawing, playing an instrument, cooking, baking, or even just going outside and playing some sports; it really is up to you. Being emotional is in no way a bad thing. As humans we need to be emotional to be able to express ourselves. And remember, being "emotional" doesn't always have to be negative. Emotions are vast, and all of them are good.

Because you might be experiencing something that is hard to deal with. If this is the case, try talking to someone about it...if it is something with anxiety be sure to take deep breaths and try to relax

It's okay to be emotional even if you don't know why. It's just part of the human mind. Everyone goes through it.

There's nothing wrong with being emotional. If you think you're being overly emotional or too emotional, then thing about what's been going on in your life lately. Are you stressed? Do you have an important date/event/commitment coming up? Take inventory and see what you come up with. If you find that there's nothing going on to cause you to be super emotional, then try to calm yourself. Meditate, take deep breaths, exercise, do yoga. Remember that everything is going to be okay.

Contrary to popular belief, once I gave into my emotional tendencies, I found that being emotional wasn't as bad as I thought it was. We are human beings with fears and joys and dreams, it's natural for us to feel a little messy sometimes.

Sometimes stressful situations and issues just pile up, and you collapse under all of those feelings. It's totally okay to break down and let it all out, especially since you've been through so much.

Everyone can become emotional at some point. Maybe there's certain things that have triggered this? Have you tried taking to anybody close to you about the possible reasons? Just remember, it's normal.

It could be any number of things; hormones, pregnancy, depression. Any recent experience which affected you with or without your knowledge could be making you feel hyper emotional also. Has something happened recently to affect the way you normally feel? Examine your emotions and see if you can identify a trigger, it's likely you will be able to do so.

Knowing why you're feeling so emotional can be interesting, but doesn't always help move through it, as it can be a form of resistance. What we resist persists! Acknowledging and honoring that we feel a certain way allows the feeling to just be. Once we allow that, then oftentimes the feeling passes.

Well, I can not be sure why YOU are emotional right now because only you know your exact situation . Therefore ask yourself, what has me emotional right now? What can I do to stop feeling this way? If you need to, connect 1-on-1 with a listening, maybe under managing emotions?

Being emotional is subjective. A situation that might make one person emotional may not cause the same emotions to be felt by another person, but there are many emotions that are shared by many people. When asking yourself 'Why am I so emotional right now?' Its important to be honest with yourself and to not be afraid to talk to someone you trust. You never know, that person you speak to might feel the same emotionally that you do now. Remember, you always have many people who are ready to listen to you on 7cups :)
