I feel like I am trying to not cry right now even though I don’t know why I would want to cry

Okay so, feeling like you want to cry for no reason? Been there! It's totally normal, especially when your hormones are doing their thing during puberty and around your period.

What's going on?

Your body is literally full of hormones that are changing a lot right now. These hormones can be super dramatic and mess with your moods, making you feel sad, or teary, or even super angry, even if nothing really bad happened. Sometimes it's called PMS if it happens before your period, but honestly, it can happen any time when your body is growing and changing this much.

What to do about it

It helps to just acknowledge how you're feeling. You don't have to fix it or figure out exactly why you're sad. Just say to yourself, "okay, I feel teary right now." Maybe try to distract yourself with something you like, like listening to music, watching a funny video, or drawing. Sometimes just having a good cry helps clear it out too!

If it's happening a lot or feels really intense, you can track it in the Soso app. You can log your mood there and see if it's part of a pattern with your cycle. It might make you feel better to see that it's connected to something your body is doing, not just you being weird or anything.
