I used to cry myself to sleep all the time but I don't anymore as I seem to be going through an ecstatically-happy phase at the moment. When I did used to cry myself to sleep though I had most of the symptons of depression, so maybe you should check whether you have any symptons. Search the net for 'depression screening test' or 'signs of depression'.

Natalie,
to answer question 1 first, we have all cried ourself to sleep at one time or another. It's exhausting, but sometimes your emptions get so overwhelming you can't stuff them anymore, and the crying offers you the release you need to go to sleep.
I guess my question back to you is: Why the need to cry yourself to sleep weekly?
Without knowing more about your situation, I can't give great advice, but here are some initial thoughts.
While crying is normal, it can also be a sign of depression. Depression is usually a reaction to outside experiences and stress that you can't resolve using your normal coping skills. Depression can also be causd by a chemical imbalance in your body/brain. Depression is your body and mind telling you that something needs to be worked on. Your attention is requested. Is something stressing you out or making you sad? Do you feel hopeless, helpless or overwhelmed?
Sometimes, talking to a counselor or therapist can help you identify areas of your life that you can get help to cope with so you don't have to feel depressed. Other times, medications can help for a short period of time whiel you work things out.
All that said, you can also simply be very in touch with your emotions and experiencing hormonal fluxuations. I don't know how old you are Natalie, but we all go through stages in life where things seem to hit us harder than usual, and we cry more easily.
Talk to someone about the crying. Get stuff off your chest.Let another person you trust in and chat about the things that cause you to cry like this. Be open to feedback and accept support when it is offered.
Best of luck to you!

1. Yes, I have.
2. Yes, you have feelings.. it's normal to let them get to you every now and then. Crying is a way of releasing all of your thoughts/emotions. It's not bad for you.
