    I'm having a problem getting a grasp on my emotions. (I don't know if this is the right thread for this.) Most of the time I'm happy, now that I'm in a more positive environment. I'm out, my roommate doesn't care, school is going well - all that good stuff. However, sometime I just get hit with this feeling of emptiness. It's sometimes triggered by a disappointment- even tiny ones, like not having ice cream or something - and sometimes it's just random. I just want to curl up in a ball, forget about my life, and cry. I don't know why. I didn't have problems like this before I came out. Back then, I had the empty feeling, but it was usually caused by something major, like freaking out about my sexual orientation or the potential for my father to hate me because I'm gay. So I don't get why I still have this problem. My life is great!
