How to comfort my crying girlfriend ?

She's crying "all day" because she's sitting around thinking about herself. Thinking about herself feeling bad about someone she doesn't know, and who doesn't even know she's alive.
She needs to get out of the house and do something productive. Guaranteed if she goes and cleans out the garage for 2 hours, she's not going to be crying while doing it.

Her GF are not going to all start bawling over this. Oh, they might all start in with the "poor mary, she's so upset because she had a dream, oh no, oh my" If she keeps it up though, they'll get sick of it.

It's now the next day. She's had another nights sleep and didn't dream the same thing. The dream is fading, and she's not crying any more.

I had to say this, because it sounds too much like a guy answer, but she's probably having her period, and just got all emotional.

She'll learn the best way to handle being emotional/weepy while on the rag is to go to her room, shut the door, and just have a good long cry.

That's much more likely than this scenerio that someone else she knows has died (and the BF doesn't know about it?) and is transferring the feelings to this celeb.

That is just.... stupid really.

Tell her to stop the dramatics. She's 18. Old enough to tell you if something else is bothering her. Jeeze.

Catz - you really need to figure out if you want to spend time with an inconsolable person who is in anguish about a DREAM.

There is something else going on, but you need to watch this to figure out if this is a pattern of behavior with her. Is she overly dramatic, overly senstive, emotionally immature?

A hug can always help. And somtimes there might be more to the story if you read between the lines. In other words make sure that is all that is wrong. then your job is to listen a hug not to fix what is wrong. I know you might want to but that could make her mad.
