Reply:I think you could be afriad of what people will think about you or how you feel. Make sure you express yourself to someone you trust.
Reply:You need to find a counselor or someone who is good at asking questions and helping you talk about your feelings... you can also try writing your feelings down in a diary. A diary will also help you think better about why you are feeling sad.
Reply:Write down what is upsetting you. Every time you feel sad write it down. Hopefully, you can then move on.


You might also see a pattern in your life, things that make you sad. If it continues, seek specialist help. someone impartial. Do not talk to family, they will try to advise or argue with you.


You could also share your feelings on your 360 page and make it public. A lot of us here in Answers land are quite compationate.
Reply:maybe because you don't know what you want. If you know, you can clearly express yourself alot better. It helps if the person you are expressing it to is someone you know and care about but good luck.
Reply:get a notebook and write, write, write. That's what I do. It's inexpensive and no one else has to read it so they won't get offended.
