I used to be the most emotional girl ever until about a month and a half ago. i used to cry like 5 times a day. then all of a sudden i stopped crying and basically stopped showing any emotion at all. I did have alot of stressful things going on. I was preparing to move into A dorm, i lost my virginity and my boyfriend left for college. The day that he left, i had to work, i had a complete mental breakdown and had to leave, it was like all of the emotions just came rusing up at once.
is this ok? do i need to see a doctor?

Either you just realized that you need to stop stressing out about everything because it's unhealthy or it's currently building up inside of you until you let it all out at once one of these days. You should really sit and think about everything that's still hurting you inside and if you find that none of these issues are actually resolved, try to seek someone to talk to and vent. That will help. If you don't want to trust anyone with your problems then seek a therapist who will guarantee your privacy so that you can have SOMEONE to talk to and get some advice. We all experience bad times and sometimes, many bad things happen to us all at once and we don't know how to deal with any of it. Actually, you could even be experiencing shock and be feeling so numb towards everything that you don't even have any feelings right now. Like I said, the first thing you need to do is just sit down and think really long and hard about what's still really bothering you and how you can stop it. Oh, and pray with all of your heart for a better understanding of how you feel and some guidance in your life to lead you in the right path. That will work also! Good luck and have faith!
It is normal and what you experienced was a self preservation technique that the mind uses subconsciously.
No need to worry unless your emotions never come back.
When they do start to return, it might be the perfect time for you to learn how to manage them so that you are not an emotional basket case.
It is OK to suppress your emotions for a while until your are ready to deal with them.
Like while you are at school or at work, learning to suppress them until you get home alone or with a friend and can deal with them in a constructive way is a very healthy thing to do.
Don't try to ignore your emotions, just learn to manage them so that they do not control you!
Whatever you do, stay away from any medications!!!
Even if you go see a therapist, tell them you want treatment without medication if they try to prescribe some to you.
You are completely normal and do not need medicine, remember that!
Medicines are not designed to cure anything, there is no money in that for the pharmaceutical companies!
Medicines are meant to maintain you.
Maintenance drugs that you have to keep taking because you are convinced that you NEED them, now that's were the money's at!!!
Leave them all alone and use what God gave you!!!
Only you know if you have been knocked out enough that you need to see a doctor. It certainly does sound like you do need to talk to someone you can trust and look up to. The fact that you describe yourself as the "most emotional girl ever" is not a good sign. If you allow yourself to be ruled by your immediate circumstances and whatever you perceive as your momentary emotions then your common sense part of your brain doesn't get a chance to let you see reality. That sounds like a recipe for bad choices. I really hope you give yourself a chance and dial back giving into the emotional roller-coaster you seem to be riding. It does sound like you need some counseling, but the good thing is you already know that. I pray that you already know someone who you can trust, that knows your preponderance to emotional decisions. Please go and talk to someone who can help you over the rough spots. Just by asking this questions shows you are an intelligent person. You know the answers. You are hurting, like anyone in your place would be. Just reach out to someone who can assure you that you can get past this and get yourself back together.
hi when things happen all at once like that. we as females go on an emotional block out because believe me we need it .we do it so when we can we will deal with every problem one by one . just imagine you have 5 phones to answer and they all ring at once and everyone needs help and the problems are bigger then the next you want to help everyone and they all have a place in you life what problem do you feel you need to address first then start from there .talk to people ask question. dam if i was to tell you how much i cry you would well just call me the cry baby hahahahahahah keep you head up and do not spend to much time in your head please its not good for you or anyone for that matter. I hope ive been some help to you
I think you're just worn out from all your emotions. I don't think you really need to see a doctor unless it is absolutely necessary and you go psycho or something. Oh and please don't, that's creepy. But then again, if you really think you need to, go see a psychiatrist of something. Talking to other people about your problems is a great stress reliever. Actually, you can even talk to your best friend(s) or something about everthing. I mean, even if they fail to listen, at least you were able to let all your feelings out. Anyways, I'm sure your emotions may come back. It's on a vacation right now. ;P
When you go into emotional overload, your head looks after you by blocking out what you can't handle. Unfortunately, this is only temporary, and when you get into a quiet space, they all come rushing back (like when a mother is afraid her child is dead, and he turns up alive, she usually bursts into tears, whacks him one for scaring her, and hugs him to death, laughs with relief and yells at him all at once).
"Nervous breakdown" - nerves don't break down. I call it a "nervous breakthrough", when emotions come out from where they have been hiding. Its a bit like a dam wall breaking. Hell of a mess, then clean up, then rebuild the wall.
You will be fine, just mop up, take your time rebuilding, maybe read some books about emotional stress. "You can heal your life" by Louise Hay helped me a lot. Best of luck.
whats on your mind
i dont think doctors will need to get involved
well call up your boy friend then if your living by yourself or with a person in the dorm get to know people around there make plans to go hang out and just forget about that stuff
You dont need a doctor, you seem to have worked it all out for yourself, give youself a pat on the back, you just had too much going on at the same time for you to deal with, now its all over and your feeling emotionally drained, it will pass, keep smiling honey, the world is on your side xxx
no, it's normal. i bottle up my emotions all the time because i don't want anyone to see me. you had a very hard past couple of months...but you know you would feel better if you just let it all out. i know i do feel better when i just cry it all out or talk to a friend. being emotional is normal...i hope you are feeling better hun! take care of yourself and stay strong! aloha!
if you need someone to talk to i am just an email away.
Please read this.
I'm worried about you but I know you can help yourself. If you have anything going on in you life, chat about it with friends who care about you. I'm sure you have family and friends who would happily send time listening and talking to you.
Don't bottle up your emotions - that is never healthy. A person will blow up after holding all their emotions in. And if they don't let it go, suicide can happen.
To avoid going down that extreme path, share your feelings, your stories with people. As people, we're not built to be alone. :)
