system shut down, ... Options

[gOODpIRATE]

well, i was blogging @ my myspace about somthing that happened to me today, then i realized that this would be a good discussion, so i directly cut-and-pasted it from my blog.

"i don't know what was with me today... i'm usually go about keeping my emotions bottled up, because i know that most people around me coulden't give a care how i felt. but i've just gotten to the point were i got so frustrated and mad where i just shut down.

head slams on desk, hands cluching the back of head, shaking, tears silently run down face.

has anyone really gotten to that point where they get so frustrated, and so overwhelmed that you just can't figure out what to do with yourself? you could go paceing around the room...but that woulden't work. you could grit your teath...but in reality, that wouldn't really work either because how hard are you going to grit before your teath crumble like chalk? so many thoughts go through your head, and you just can't wait for the period to end so everyone could leave the classroom [or wherever you are] so you can re-cooperate, and no one could see you at a time of your worst. do i stand alone on this, or have other people went through the same thing?"

what happend to me was that some people in my class were really starting to annoy me, and i just got to the point where i couldent take it. it wasn't like i was crying out loud like a baby, i just tried to keep my head down like i was trying to sleep.

just a thought.

That happened just yesterday to my very good friend Charles. We both cried together.

Yes, that's happened to me a few times. I have a lot of stress in life and often at times I'm sad. Sometimes I can't take it, y'know? But I haven't broken down in class before except yesterday.

bleh. last year I cried in school. it was because I got a C on a midterm. And I had shown it to my mother that morning..she yelled to me and I cried the whole school day...because..yeah. =/...if i'm having a bad day i like to put my head down and just sleep..=/

[*Azarel*]

Seems like every day of this godforsaken school year. Stressed much? Yeah.

[inthemudhole]

Yes, I get like that almost everyday now, or so it seems.
I have only cried in school once, though, and that was in elementary school. I don't show extreme emotions like that in front of other people.

[Shattered_Hope]

That happened to me on Saturday....I guess the stress, the problems, and the disappointments just got to me in the end....

Omfg. Kristin, same here! Except, I got a D. =\

[*stephinika*]

yeah i get those a lot too...they suck. a lot. cause at home, my only escape is my room away from everyone....then my parents get pissy for me not 'communicating' enough or some crap like that.

[Skyline Drive]

That happened to me. I was so frustrated with school and with all the people in my last period that I kind of just started to cry and then people started too crowd around me which made me feel worse. I personally don't feel the need to hide my emotions.. that's one thing I'm really open about.. I tell everyone everything because I don't feel the need to hide it.. what for, ya know ?

I'm just happy school is over.

[parallel]

It happens. Like. A lot. But not really. =/

SAME HERE

[jennyjenny]

yeah, that happens. i never cry in school or anything 'cause i rarely show how i feel. i get/got stressed so much this past month that i sometimes cried myself to sleep. i don't think anyone's ever seen me cry in public before.

Wow, you're the same as me .. but i cry very little to sleep.

[*jooleeah*]

That's happened to me way too many times. I've done it about two or three times at school....it was terrible, cause I started crying...and everyone saw. Bleeeh. It's weird though....cause, well, it takes a lot for me to cry. Especially in front of others.

[emazing]

Yeah, tell me about it. I get a lot of stress from people -- it's just that I don't really want to break down and sob so they can poke fun at me; I just sort of put my head down and cry when I get home or something. Or write evil thoughts about them in my journal. Or my xanga.

[beautifuls0ul_x3]

i'm not the kind of person to cry in front of others so for me to cry it's got to be pretty bad. i don't really cry unless i have had it up to here *points to forehead*. but i usually like to go up to my room and just sit there with my door locked and let all my emotions out when no one is around. but my parents always yell at me for not being around or my door is locked all the time. so at night i stare out my window and let it all out. cuz in the end it's just to much to take...i don't talk about my problems to ppl except just 1 of my friends.

[silver-rain]

You know, that happens to me all the time. Especially before AP week, I was stressing out so much over everything. And now, before the SAT I'm going through that same thing, along with stressing out over the summer. It feels like there's nothing I can really do and stuff, and sometimes, I can't take it.

[xbr0kensmil3]

yea that's happened to me. i cried during one of my classes. i put my head down and cried throughout the whole period. no one even bothered to ask me what was wrong. that goes to show who care and who don't.

[Heathasm]

wooo yeah ive had a breakdown before. Luckily i was alone and in my house so i could be as loud and dramatic as i wanted.

//edit
nvm, i just remembered another one where i was out to eat with my mom at a mexican food place and i was crying over my food because we were talking about how messed up our family is ~_~ i could see people lookign but trying not to look like they were looking. I dont think that was completely my fault though, i was going through PMS at the time

[JlIaTMK]

Breakdown?
I don't do it that often in public.
As a matter of fact, I keep it mostly to myself....

I know how you feel.
Sometimes I just sit somewhere quiet and think about everything.
Then is when the emotions come an I cry, usually silently.
I don't usually talk about it with anyone except for maybe a friend too.

[lolthissiteisfun...]

sometimes I get so stressed about stuff, and then I have a project due, my parents are mad at me, my friends are bad, and i just like, sit in my room and cry. not very often tho.

..lol

oh, and like the other day, i got in this HUGE fight with my mom, and i just had this random breakdown.

[Ballpointpencil]

Doesn't happen often by any means, but occasionally I'll have a bit of an emotion breakdown. I try to keep others from seeing, and usually succeed, but...

[ichigofan]

If I bottle up feelings/frustrations there will be a point where ill just POP and probably hurt all of my friends arround unintentially

[misoshiru]

yeah, that happens to me quite a bit. i usually bite myself to get over it.
