Don't worry. You aren't alone, and there is nothing wrong with you. I am the same way, same age and all. When someone pokes fun at me, I don't forget it and cry because it was so hurtful. Whenever I have to leave my boyfriend's house, or whenever we can't hang out, I feel so scared and alone, and usually cry. This could just be hormones, but if you've been feeling this way for a long time, you should call your doctor because it may very well be depression. Maybe you are stressed, or lonely, or insecure right now, and that's why you are so easily upset. I do the same thing with eating, either I don't eat or eat so much, and then hate myself and my body. Try to think about what's bothering you, in the moment, and out of it. Think about everything in your life thats bugging you, and write it down, possibly to discuss it with a close friend or therapist, or even your boyfriend. Try telling your boyfriend what's going on, if you haven't already. I'm sure he'll do everything he can to help. Maybe you could get a job as well, if you don't already have one, to keep busy. If you are depressed, it may seem impossible to do this, but you can! Ignore everyone here who's saying you're weird, or a baby, because you aren't. Please contact your doctor, and feel free to e-mail me at any time.

nothing is wrong with you. nothing at all is wrong with you. say it with me: NOTHING is wrong with you. it's all cool dude. the more you want to believe that something is wrong with you, the more there actually is. so make like an ice cube and chill out for a little bit! try thinking through this.

i want to ask you...do you know that amazing feeling you get from a nice, big, tight hug? where you just feel it and know that everything is gonna be all right? you know, that warm...fuzzy...safe...loving feeling! :)

next time you want to cry, just think about a big bear hug and feel that amazing warmth spread from your heart...all...over...your...body... and know that everything is gonna be all right!

you might have depression. and over eating is something you could do. but you should take up a hobby or something whenever i get bored i eat and then overeat but i took up knitting and i no that may sound kinda dumb but its fun it gives you something to do with you hands. and you could also do more things so then you don't feel bad when your boyfriend goes to work. And sometimes you just need a good cry but try to hold it in and then like set aside a time for crying and you can get it under control.

hope this helps.

well, first of all, aren't you a wee bit too young to be living with a guy? aren't you still supposed to be in school? is it possible that you have jumped into an adults life, with all the responsibilities of adulthood, when you are still a child, and this is just to stressful for you emotionally? maybe you are just getting too overwhelmed with it all and its making you weepy. can you go back home for a while, and just date, and have less responsibility? trust me, its a hard thing to just jump into adulthood, and 17 is still very young. maybe just go home for a visit once in a while, and let mom comfort you a bit. moms are good that way- go have cookies and milk, and a good gab fest, and you will feel a bit better. hope this helps.

its okay to cry, and its okay to be emotional. just learn how to take jokes and make sure you are very self confident. the better you feel about yourself the easier it will get to take jokes and laugh at yourself. just stay positive

i think you need to talk to a good friend of family member who can help you sort things out and help you figure out what is bothering you

you also need to find things to fill your time

a job, a hobby, a volunteer job

and take care of your health, if you are not already

get plenty of sleep, and have fun with good friends

or your boyfriend

take care

Sweetie it sounds like you're either manic/depressed. Or maybe a manic depressive. Idk I'm not a doctor. But you do need to see one. If it's depression they can try to help you. Maybe a shrink might help too. Someone you can talk to that you feel won't judge you. Good luck sugar and don't cry. I'm sure you're a great person with a good head on your shoulders you're just a little backwards at the moment. Catch your footing. You've got a lot of years left in you.

Look, there are a lot of answers on here and I am so sorry they are taking what is going on with you so lightly. You must be going through a rotten time of things and I hope my answer sheds some light on it for you.

Well, firstly, I believe you are afraid of abandonment...being left alone reminds your subconscipus of another time or times when you felt as though you were no-one without another being with you. Can happen if you were an only child or the baby of a few children, becasue you were so used to having people around you.

Your partner is someone you have decided holds the key to your personal identity, and without him you think again, that you are no-one, have nothing to do, afraid of boredom.

Emotional eating is not a great way to go, and is a false comfort, because you actually need to deal with the reason why eating is what you turn to at those times.

If you want to keep this relationship, I suggest that you get some help, because it will be a drain on your partner to see you cry and hard for him to leave you alone, it is very manipulative, and although I am sure you don't mean to be and you are every emotional, it is not something your partner is going to be able to live with for long....He will eventually find he has nothing left for you if you are using him for all your reason for being.

Do you know what you want to do with your life? What have you ever done that has really left you feeling happy and excited when you have learnt it or achieved it? That could be a good indication or what you need to fill your life with at them moment, other than the love you have for your partner, then you'll be pleased to have your own time, time to do what excites you.

Like I said, I hope to help here, and I do wish you all the best with the hard time you are going through.

Mel

It sounds like you are depressed. Maybe you want more out of life other than being serious with the BF?

It's called hormones. :-) Welcome to adulthood.

To be honest I have no clue. I do that too sometimes. I think it's just because we have something else troubling you and you can't talk to some one about it. Sometimes writing helps a lot when you're feeling depressed try it who knows it might work? Now the eating problem.. you can't have a whole day without eating anything. Make sure you eat something. Make yourself a sandwich or a cup noodles.
