At the moment I get really emotional randomly and then it goes. I don’t know why.
Hey, those sudden emotional waves can feel confusing when there’s no obvious reason 💫
Changing hormones during puberty can affect your mood, so you may feel upset, angry or overwhelmed and then feel fine again.
A build-up of stress or simply needing to release some emotions can play a part too.
You could track how you feel and what was happening at the time, as this may help you spot triggers or patterns ✨
Talking to a friend or a parent or trusted adult can also give you support, and eating healthily, exercising or doing something you enjoy may help you feel more balanced.
If these feelings start happening a lot and affect your daily life, or your mood is low more often than not, you could speak to a parent or trusted adult, a doctor or a mental health professional.
Take care of yourself 🫶
