What about being "stuck" on anti-depressants scares you? I have found for me that if I "accept" my symptoms and work on what's behind them it helps.

When I was crying too often it was too hard to keep up my defenses against that so I let go of them. What's the worst that can happen if you're crying each week? See if you can arrange when you cry so it doesn't get in your way as much? I use to make sure I was in bed before my husband or knew he wasn't going to come into the room I was in for a bit, in the car on the way to/from work, etc.

Remind yourself how well you're doing in other areas like your sleep and energy and actively look for improvement in the crying. Crying is complicated and healthy, a "good" thing! http://publicaffairs.uth.tmc.edu/hle...ears-0426.html Your body is trying to take care of you the best it can. The anti-depressants seem to be helping at the moment. Don't think too far ahead, concentrate on what you can do now to get better?
