I was just wondering if anyone else here experiences uncontrollable crying from depression, and if you do, whether there were any copying strategies that you find helpful to reduce the crying?

For me, I don't really have any strategies. But something trivial might remind me of my bigger insecurities, or occasionally the dark mood just consumes me enough to take me to tears. I don't know how to stop it. I wouldn't mind if I just cried in bed alone. The problem is, I cry in front of people I care about and they take it personally. They think it's their fault. That I'm not happy with them. That they have done something wrong, or that I'm trying to make them feel like they have. But it's not their fault. It's just me. I hate upsetting them with the crying... I'd really love to find a way to deal with the behavior, whilst I work on dealing with the depression itself.

Has anyone else had similar concerns?
