Pressed by emotions, she decided to leave the city again.

It's not a common combination of words but yes, I think it works.

Thanks, Mr. Wordy, but any other better (and more natural) option?

Tom

Can you be more specific about what caused her to leave the city?

Barbara, doesn't it happen sometimes that we do something without thinking coherently...we are just pressed/influenced/controlled by a mixture of emotions.

For example, she missed her friends, she disliked her new colleagues, she found her house a bit uncomfortable.....but none of these is an authentic reason to leave the city again. Just emotions!

Since you'd asked for a more natural combination, I wanted to get a more specific sense of what you wanted to describe.

Influenced by her emotions, perhaps? Guided by her emotions? - Oh, you said "influenced" above, which is a good one I think. I like "controlled" as well, since it suggests her decision was not necessarily a rational one
