It can be due to stress, emotional breakdowns, something up your chest that is hurting bad and you haven't noticed yet, or some mental illness. Take a deep breath, a glass of water, get your coziest blanket then take some time to think with yourself about yourself — what's been happening in your life, what parts of it are bothering you, what can you do to solve it, and what do you need. Keep going on your questions, breaking them in pieces to reach a more deep level, until you find the root of it all. For example: 1- I feel bad. 2- Why do I feel bad? 3- Is there something behind the reason that I feel bad? 4- What caused it? 5- Is it something I can deal with or do something about? Then proceed to accept the fact that you, just like us all, are a human being and it is normal to get emotional sometimes. Accept that it is totally okay to seek help, and if you want to, the community here on 7 cups is more than willing to listen to you and help.

As humans, we are very emotional beings. We react to certain situations in different manners as coping mechanisms to accept what is going on. Don't worry, it is normal.

Some people are naturally more emotional. It can depend on a variety of factors, like personality and hormones. There's nothing wrong with being emotional, just make sure you're aware that your emotions aren't a symptom of an underlying issue.

Because i keep thinking of how the end would look like, i might not reach it though, but this overwhelming idea about everything's dissipation is awfully disturbing. Things like (separation, breakups, leaving, death, ...) Resemble the greatest fear. We wanna keep what we have forever

Different things are going on inside with the chemicals in our brains, and that may cause us to become extra emotional. Also, sometimes we don't realize that we are upset about the little things, until they build up and one small thing sets us off.

Well, what might seem like nothing at its surface, is actually probably something much bigger at its core. I believe it maybe a sign that you have some pain and hurt from other things or situation that may have occurred in your past that you have not dealt with as of yet. And because of the deep rooted hurt you may tend to get overly emotional at what seems to be the little things...

When I think I'm getting emotional over nothing I look at whatever it is in reverse and ask myself, what is this thing that I'm getting so emotional about? It obviously means something to me, or I wouldn't be emotional about it. I have to remind myself that my feelings are clues, and I do well to not just dismiss them because somewhere along the line someone told me to "Stop getting so upset over nothing..."
