feeling overemotional

I don't think that you can or should do something. You are who you are. That is just the way it is. I am overemotional myself and I am not fighting it. The only problem is that I can get attached to people easy and because of that I may have problems if those people don't treat me right. But as long as you feel you will know that you are alive. That is my motto at least.

I've been experiencing a lot of the things you guys are talking about but for a few years now. It began with a few things not going my way, a relationship, a business transaction and a high stress job. It was enough to make me start asking myself why I was really putting so much energy into these things when they could all be taken away from at any given moment. I became even more sensative and sad overall but I didn't know why. I was never that person and tough times never lasted long. It got worse like stupid little things on TV would send me into a burst of tears and I felt rediculous. I've been to talk to a lot of people and refuse to get on any kind of antidepressents because I want to attack the root of the problem(no offense to those who choose otherwise). The only thing I've been able to figure out so far is that my heart is really looking to find and invest in the things that really matter and do something with my life that will cause a victorious turnaround in someone's life. I don't care if that sounds cheesy because it took me a long time to get here, and be ok with it. I don"t know how I even found these comments above but I did, and I identified, and I only hope my comment can help someone else. It would be great to know we're not the only "emotionally challanged" out there. : ) %-)

I am 20. Have a job, car, and my electrician studies. But no GF, and have been single for 3 months. The relationship I was into prior was only 7 days since I flew out of state to meet the gal.

I am also very emotional and I think that is what repels girls from me, I get attached quickly. 8-|

Only thing that keeps me going and from depression is study of Philosophy.
I guess meditation would be the best thing I could recommend you.

I am 17 soon to be 18.
many people would say a teenager is over emotional. But as I am getting closer and closer to being an adult im wondering if this will ever change.
Growing up i was a normal girl. Nice. Caring. Loving. Not a cry baby or trouble maker. But around 7th grade some sh*t happened and well ever since then strange cartoons, movies with death can trigger my emotions. All the time i get soooo pissed off at people for little things. A friend doesnt invite me to go bowling before her other friend.. So i guess im not her best friend really? wats wrong with me. its so childish and im tired of it. the thing thats crazy is that their are stages. I get angry about something someone did. rant about it a little. let it go. then bring it back up again and thats when the tears start coming. Then after crying i begin to blame myself. Feel bad for crying and getting upset and put myself down.
I find that this pushes me away from my close friends, family, and boyfriends because sometimes when i get upset or cry i just cant stop it and they cant neither and i guess they just get tired of it.
I've been in so many relationships because I am the kind of girl who wants to be with her highschool sweetheart, wants to have a steady boyfriend. But I've gotten into this circle. where it starts out great but then i get so attached and i expect things of them and when i get let down it hurts me more than others. Little things like when a guy says i'll see you tomorow and then calls the next day completely ignoring the thought/fact of seeing me that day trigger me to get angry/upset. and i try to talk it out but when the guy doesnt say what i want him to i just get more upset.
How can i rid myself of these over emotional tendencies? my expectations? my stresses?

if you feel like you are overemotional, consider getting treated for anxiety/panic disorders.
The therapy is really helpful in calming yourself down.
