I like Kori's idea of keeping a journal to read back over and perhaps something will stand out to you.
I would say it may depend on how often you cry. If its a handful of times during a month, it is likely a stress relief mechanism as stated. If daily and several times a day, then it isn't normal. You didn't mention age or sex but I will state in case you match the situation, teen girls going through puberty can find their emotions going out of control for whats considered normal at other periods of life. During the teen years for females, it is not abnormal to find you cry easily or get mad or irritated easily for of course, no good reason at all. I did this, my daughters all did this and as far as I know, every female goes through it to some extent. And this kind of crying is not due to stress or depression as you stated is your case. If you are a teen, you may just have too high an amount of hormones which can cause the normal teen girl crying of several times a week to become an every day all day thing. In that case, seeing a Dr. and checking hormone levels is needed as they can treat and regulate the hormone levels and once that happens, your emotions go back to normal. I haven't experienced that but have read about it as being a more common thing recently in girls. Some suspect the extra female hormones are picked up from our environment, what we eat, breath, water, and what comes in contact with our skin. Regardless of what causes it, this can mess up a life until taken care of by Dr.s.
NOw if you are an older person and either male or female, I can't know if it is normal because I know nothing about your life and history. But it wouldnot hurt to see a mental health professional and if squeamish about going to one and getting put on meds. as the worst end result, I'd try for a psychologist who uses other methods first, several including CBT, Cognitive behavoral therapy where their last option is actually trying medications. Some psychologists still only believe in medication only. So its important who you choose if you decide to go this way.
There could be something in your past, life changing, traumatic, maybe the loss of someone and its a few years in the past, but enough new dissappointments that on their own are not depressing in general may just be the straw that broke the camels back so to speak. You may in a way be depressed due to several past incidences, and then your thoughts regarding the final one, thoughts you haven't clued in as connected to your crying, could be all part of it. I am no Dr. just sharing stuff I know from other people I know who had this situation just as an example that you may find a faster solution to the crying by seeing a professional, if it is becoming disruptive to you being able to live a normal life.

Yes, it is very normal to cry for no reason. Every human has experienced irregular mood swings and or unexplained emotions in their life. I think it's your brain's way of releasing stress before you even notice that you are stressed about something. The best thing to do is get a journal and record your everyday feelings and what you think caused it. Do this for a full month and then look back at your data. Do it for another full month and compare your data with the first month to see if anything changes. If you read this, thank you for your time.
