Is it normal to cry about the planet

Recently it seems that I've become very introspective, and small things can press my buttons easily. I was watching a Disney movie with my partner and was in floods of tears when the main character died. Surely this isn't right? It's a cartoon!
Similarly, when listening to The Eagles "Last Resort" song, I started to think about how much we're destroying the planet, and got intensely sad about it. I accidentally said something abotu someone's parents, and when they told me their father had just died I was absolutely disgusted with myself and cried for ages.

I'm a grown adult. How do people deal with feelings like this, and why are the "floodgates" only opening now...?

Is It Normal?

    You are not alone. It all started happening in 2012 and has been getting more and more intense since then. You are not crazy so please don't seek medical advice or get on psychotropic drugs. Most people will not understand what you are going through so don't bother telling them about it. You are awakening and remembering who you truly are. Look up starseeds and indigos. Do your best to care about the planet. There's a lot more I could say but I think I'll end this here.

    I can't say why the "floodgates" have suddenly opened for you. It could simply be to do with your growth as a person.

    Sometimes, emotions can be overwhelming, but surely it's better to feel than to be calloused to the world around us. Empathy can be hard to come by at times.

    You don't have to just "deal" with these feelings. Feelings can lead to actions.
