Emotions: Stronger than usual

Post Reply New Topic

I noticed this week that my emotions have been a lot stronger than usual. For example, I was going up to the dorm where all of my friends live to watch a movie last weekend. I was supposed to go at 2:00. I was extremely excited and nervous before I called them. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure why I was nervous. I called at 1:30, but they didn't answer and I kept calling every few minutes but nobody answered until after 2:30. I was a lot more worried and anxious than I should have been during this time. When I was up with them, things were pretty normal, but as soon as I left I was really sad and got anxious that I wasn't going to see them again for a while and that I was going to be so lonely. And that lasted for several hours and I had to take extra medicine to fall asleep. I guess the question is, what's going to happen now? Is this a sign that I'm going to have long-term anxiety problems? Depression? I'm really worried that this is going to have a long-term effect on me and I won't be able to live. I don't want things to continue like this. Is there anything I can do?

Have episodes like this of being more emotional happened to you before? Was there a change in your life earlier that might be provoking more emotional responses right now? Did this stop, or is it still continuing now? Either way, sorry you had felt so anxious and depressed earlier *hugs*

I can't remember this happening before, but I don't remember my emotions too well and it's hard to compare them anyway. The only major change right now was coming back to school. I think this is also being influenced by my friends not being very reliable and me living in a different dorm than them. Another thing came up this morning that made me very sad and angry at them but I was able to keep that in check.
