can't stop crying


Question Posted Tuesday August 14 2007, 8:53 pm

Lately I've just been feeling terrible. I don't even know - lost and miserable and like I can't turn to anyone with any of this. There's nothing really wrong with my life. I just can't stop crying.

When that happens it's usually one of three things: 1. Depression 2.Hormones 3.Drugs
You didn't give your age, so I don't know if the hormones are coming into play or if you are near your menstral cycle, which can also play a part. I have had some friends that get EXTREMELY depressed around this time and often have crying spells, even for no reason.

If you are not doing any drugs (even prescription meds which can have different effects on different people) then I'm guessing that your problem is either #1 or #2, or a combination of both.

So, now that you know what it most likely is, I suggest going to your family doctor if you can. If not, start with a therapist or school counselor. www.nami.org has a hotline where you can talk to people and get referrals for services related to mental health. They also have a lot of helpful information.

If you're of school age, keep in mind too that everyone is experiencing a lot of anxiety about going back to school and that can play a part too. So it may not be 'clinical depression', it may just be a result of current circumstances- if that's the case, it will get better. You don't necessarily need meds or anything just to get past the circumstances that are causing it.

If you are clinically depressed, there are a few treatment options, ranging from exercise to talk therapy to drug therapy.

Best wishes.

Sometimes last year I felt this way as well. I didn't change anything and I think that there's something that's maybe bothering you and making you feel sad and it must be something you don't have a lot of control over. I understand but if you feel like crying then just cry and let it out. You might need some time to think about your life. You write down your feelings on a piece of paper. You could also figure out what you don't like about your life. You just need time to think things over. Once you find whats wrong then it's easier to make it right. My advice to you is just do stuff that makes you happy. Life is TOO short for you to be sad. all you gotta do is find something that you like. This will help you forget about whats wrong. You really don't tell me a lot so I don't know what's wrong. If ya wanna talk then just drop one in my inbox.
