ANDY'S ANSWER: It's very possible that the cramps and your emotions are symptoms of your period coming. Sometimes a heating pad or hot water bottle on your abdomen can relieve the cramping. As far as the part about being emotional and crying, you're probably going to have to keep an eye on yourself and see if your emotions are caused by real situations, or just because your hormones are changing. It can sometimes be difficult to be a judge of that, so you might want to ask a friend to let you know if you're over-reacting to things.
