Why are my emotions unbalanced?
General Support / by proactivePlum3533

...See more My grandfather died recently, and I still haven't cried. The same thing happened a few years ago when my godfather died. But this evening, I was showering during the time that my stepmother needed to be in the bathroom, because she had work. I forgot about this, and I heard her yelling/loudly talking to my dad about it. I feel so guilty that I've been crying for about half an hour, and I feel sick. This always happens when I do something to upset someone, and it's so frustrating because I can't stop crying and compose myself enough to apologise. Why do I react like this, and how can I learn to stop? I need to be able to apologise when I do things wrong, the people around me don't deserve to never get an apology just because I can't control my emotional responses.
