I cry when I get upset also. It's a physiological reaction to stress. When I am in a stressful situation, I try to count to 10 or get up and walk around. I also write things down if I can't verbally explain how I'm feeling.

I agree with DaisyRose. It helps to keep a journal of your feelings. You can go back and sort them out at any given time.
When I am upset I try not to speak because I will probably say something I don't mean. So I think about it and come up with any way to do it. I still get the wrong reaction from folks but at least I feel like I handled it the best way I could.

best wishes

I find myself doing the same thing as you crating when someone is upset with me even if they.are the ones in the wrong or when someone I love is hurting .....I just feel very deapely. And I think you do to and the depression doesent help. .....I usually try to keep it inside but when I am alone ti just comes out and I will cry all while I am alone when my husband is gone hunting or trapping of fishing over night ...one thing I have found that works is to go and spend the weakened at. My sons I seam to do better than no crying than .....why do you feel the need to say things to your partner that you don't want to say just don't try to say them ....I also do get frustrated sometimes and the words just don't come out right and than I stop trying and my husband will usually hug me ans says it just come out and we have a laugh ........sometimes when we are bissey making everyone else happy it just backfires on us you have to take care of you first .....I was always in the middle making everything better for everyone else and not being aprceated so I had to pull my self out of there i was told I was taking sides when that was never the case I case my doctor told me I was number one and my husband was number two and the rest didn't count .......my children are all growen up with families of there Owen ....part of how I got here is that my daughter kicked us out of her life because first she said we said we wouldn't take sides between her and our son than she said we chose his side ....we are back to talking but it still I sent the same it is like they forget all the things we did for her ............you might need to have your meds adjusted. I hope you find your way ....take care ...god bless

When I am angry or when someone is angry with me I cry. I battle those feelings constantly. My therapist just told me this week I need to develop a Teflon coating...not letting things get to me at all and not dwelling on it. That is hard for me to do. All my life I have carried peoples words with me that have hurt. I would love to not think about it anymore. It is keeping me from being able to find a decent job because the anxiety I have about what people will say if I mess something up seems unbearable. I am starting to journal more and think about it less. That is all I feel I can do right now. You are not alone.

This is one thing I had a very bad problem with. Now it is better for me than it was. My husband never understood and then one day he tried to hit me and I left. I told my self there was no way I was going to let anyone hit me. Since then we have divorced and I am living at my friends and It is awesome. I have learned to express my feelings most of the time and when I can't I write until it goes away. I have done one thing that is very helpful I have taking and written flash cards on some recipe cards and when things get hard I take them out and read them. I also tell myself that this is temporary and that this to shall pass, I don't say it out loud, I say it to myself in my head. I do this until it helps. Then I go and write until I get it out so that I am not angry and I am not frustrated. I hope this helps a little, give it a try. Good Luck.

All I do is write. That's the only way I can control myself. I can't speak very well. Sometimes when I speak for too long it feels as if I'm suffocating. I just write as much as possible. Since discovering this site I have been roaming around trying to see if I can help other people, despite how fruitless it might appear to some people, however it's worth a shot. I write, type, write, type and write. I normally would be writing for 3 hours straight. My that's the only way I can ease the chess pain that I'm feeling. Sometimes I just write the same thing I'm feeling over and over again. It sounds silly, actually it is silly but it works.
