Latley, since starting high school, I've been feeling like really upset, but usually, for absolutely no reason. I'll just randomly start crying almost every day over the tiniest thing or nothing at all, and I'm getting concerned about my mental health cause it's a little too often. Is it normal?

Hello, crying this often can leave you wondering whether something bigger is going on 💛

Occasionally feeling sad or crying for no obvious reason can happen during the teenage years, when emotions may feel more intense.

However, feeling sad and crying almost every day for no clear reason isn't considered normal, and it's worth getting some support.

Sometimes crying happens much later than whatever brought up strong feelings, so the reason may not always be obvious straight away.

It could help to notice any triggers, whether crying brings relief or leaves you feeling more overwhelmed, and whether your mood has changed overall.

Things like spending time with friends or family, exercising, listening to music, journalling, painting, or relaxing with a film or book may also help you release those emotions ✨

Because this is happening almost every day, speak to a doctor, who can listen properly and give advice that fits what you're going through.

If opening up feels hard, you could start with a parent or trusted adult, teacher, or friend, and use an emotion tracker to show how often this is happening 🫶
