Emotional Tsunami

I was just angry at everything and now I’m crying and I don’t even know why I was sad. Has that happened to anyone else?

For me it's a lot like Julia said...it's something that's been building up and I ignore ou just have been kinda in an automatic mood with emotions, so sometimes a little thing triggers it, but it was deeper than that...

Maybe you accumulate too much emotions and now you feel overwhelmed

ALL THE TIME. what i found that helps is tracking when these like out burst happens and seeing what patterns it has like for me it usually happens when either i didn’t take my meds with enough protein or my period is coming 🥹🥹

Yes, I can cry 2 hour straight without any specific reasons. Maybe it's your body telling you that you're a little bit tired. Take care of your emotions. They're normal and healthy. Not smiling all the time is okay...🫂 I write my thoughts down when I can't think clearly myself. Don't forget to drink water too! Get hydrated and dab your face after crying so the salt in tears won't make your face uncomfortable. 🫂 Hope you feel better. Let it out, let it be

I really get this. I had a similar experience recently. I’m generally quite dissociated from my emotions — I clearly feel anger and a sense of injustice, but most other emotions register as either “I’m sad” or “this feels weird.” It’s hard for me to name what I’m feeling. Not long ago, I went to a shooting range with friends. It was extremely loud, also the instructor was not the nicest. And suddenly, out of nowhere, tears just started streaming down my face. I was completely overwhelmed and didn’t even understand what was happening. These emotional “tsunamis” are often not about one small moment, but about things that have been building up. Maybe something happened earlier that day — or recently — that already pushed you close to the edge. And when we’re exhausted, even a minor negative trigger can unleash everything at once. If you feel like sharing what happened for you, I’m here 🤍

I have another problem with my emotions, I feel quite disconnected from them and even only experience bodily symptoms at stuff like anxiety or guilt… so I don’t feel many at all
