Deneb, it's great that you can say you're upset, rather than other, more drastic things.
For one things, words and concepts have power. If you tell yourself you're upset, you can see that it's really bad, and you feel really rotten and lousy and you want to be comforted, but it's not the end of the world.
And maybe it'll be just that much easier to remember that we care. And, like Dinah says, maybe the feeling will pass-- the sun will come out-- or who knows? --but your mood will shift.
I'm proud of you for trying out a new way of describing what you're feeling--one that lets other people in so much more.
