idk what to do i always catch my self crying or feeling super sad or having that heart sinking feeling like when you find out something really bad. i try to hide it from my boyfriend because i feel like i already be upset too much but idk what to do anymore i’m so sad. and honestly i don’t know why, i have a job i love, make good money and my mom is still alive, thankfully. but i still always feel a pit of emptiness and loneliness in me always & all it takes is for me to ask if i’m okay n ill start balling. but it makes it harder because im not looked at as a “soft person “ so i feel stupid for even feeling this way bc i was never like this before

Try watching a funny show and see if you are still sad afterward?
Where does the emptiness come from? Are you a spiritual person?
It sounds like depression to me. If you have access to a mental health professional, you may want to discuss this with them and do some research about it yourself.
Also, anyone and everyone can get hit in the emotional guts like this. Your feelings are valid, new or established. I know logic can’t always eliminate the guilt and confusion, but I just want you to know that logically speaking, the guilt is not because you’re being a horrible person or anything. It’s often a side effect of cases like this in my experience.
