I'm constantly sad

Q: 

Sad movies make me cry, as does the plight of starving children and victims of terrorism. Sometimes I burst into tears when I’m in bed with my boyfriend, convinced I’ll lose him in a car crash or fatal mugging. What can I do?
A: 

First, discover to what degree your dark thoughts may come from a crisis in your past. If you need help addressing an old problem, counselling can help. To find a counsellor, visit bacp.co.uk or call 01455883300. After you resolve any personal issues, I hope you continue to feel empathy – the ability to share the emotion of others is a rare and beautiful gift. So try to make use of it, perhaps by devoting time to working with charities that appeal to you. You may even consider a career in helping others less fortunate.
