I don't know, is it just a Phase? I don't even know what's wrong with me anymore.
I can't sleep very well, I feel empty, i cry really easily, I kinda don't even want to eat anything and I'm not hungry, it feels more like i'm forcing myself, but if I say that to my family they'll only think I'm overreacting and they get annoyed at me..they even told me that today and I said, "I Don't know but I think there is something wrong with me right now I don't feel well mentally". But they just tell me I should take some medicine for my hormones and it will go away...but it doesn't and I don't feel like they take me seriously.
Also, our car just broke so I need to work from home these next few weeks and I don't want that because I use the way to my job and the work and people there as a chance to escape everything that is happening at home, because at least in the office I feel like i'm needed..at home it is always the same routine and the same conversations...I feel like the attention frame got projected onto my sister only lately becaue she is going through a lot of stress in her job and everything I do (even if I say I'm stressed) it's never as bad as my sister right now...
I don't know what to do and I just want to cry and talk to someone about everything and that they understand me and tell me everything will be fine and that they're there for me...I feel lonely lately because everything I say to my familiy makes me feel like I'm annoying them and it wasn't always like that but I want it to stop now...also I'm confused because I feel attraction towards a co worker and I'm trying so hard not to feel so strongly about him...so that makes my emotions even more confused and I'm feeling all that at once...

Physical feelings are sensations detected in your body (heat, pain, etc.). Emotional feelings are really the story you are telling yourself about the thoughts that have arrived. There is a lot going on with your emotional feelings. The problem is in your thinking.
Thoughts, all of them including the ones you just expressed, come and go. Some leave almost as fast as they arrive without much notice. Its as if these were presented to you in a language you did not understand. They got nothing from you - no reaction, no response. Then there are those thoughts that get your attention, the added story, and an emotional reaction ("I cry really easily"). These have the energy they need to persist and return often. It does not matter if the thought is good or bad, helpful or harmful. They all need the energy that you provide to become your constant companion.
You are not your thoughts. Their arrival does not make them your creation or make them automatically meaningful. You are not the mind that has these thoughts. You are the awareness that has this wonderful and powerful thinking instrument that needs to be better understood and managed. To the extent that you don't, its in charge and can cause a lot of avoidable problems.
You are the 'gatekeeper' who decides which thoughts are worthy of further consideration and worthy of initiating your actions. Becoming an effective 'gatekeeper' will change your life in a good way. Its not difficult but it will require some determination and time.
If you are interested, I can get you started and will stick with you for a while.
