I woke up crying and have been crying all day for no reason so I stayed home from work. I don't feel as guilty as I used to for staying home thanks to some friends on here helping me.
My husband and I ran some errands just so I could get out of the house. It didn't make me feel any better. I just want to curl up under my covers and fall asleep.

(((onlymedid))) I don't think I've ever woken up crying... That sounds wretched!

I hope you're doing what everyone is going to suggest (talking to the docs, taking your meds, etc...) but even when you're doing everything "right" it can still all go wrong.

Even though you feel bad, it's really great that you made the effort to get out of the house. Keep trying, because eventually it might make you feel better. And if nothing else, you won't feel bad for staying indoors all the time. Spending time outdoors nearly always makes me feel a little better.
Thanks for this!

Sorry you are feeling this way. Are you having any thoughts that are causing this upset?

Well, I did have a dream that my husband and son were leaving me, but I don't think that is what is causing me to cry so much. I know they would never leave me.

Yeah, I am taking all my meds and going to my pdoc tomorrow. Trying to do everything I can to "make" myself feel better. Doesn't really work that way, though.
Thanks for the support.

I am sorry to hear of your sad day only me did. I know how difficult it is to get out of the house in that state and you should feel good that you did it! Keep fighting the good fight! Good luck at your pdoc appt tomorrow and I hope that you are able to find meds that help you out of the woods.
(((hugs))
Thanks for this!

Could be a subconscious fear of abandonment perhaps?

I have woken up crying. I have called off work due to it too. I have went to the store with my husband while crying my eyes out. How embarrassing that must be for him! I hope you get through this quickly.

Sometimes my thoughts an emotions don't match at all. I've cried in public when my thoughts were things about what DVDs were for sale- not a sad thought to be found.

Good for you, going to your pdoc. Hope that a tweak of the meds will do something good. Oh, how I hate seeing you like this! You need a respite from this.

Breathing, meditation, exercise, healthy food... Give yourself as much of a physical support as you can.

*hugs* & love

I'm really sorry you are feeling so sad. Hope your pdoc can help things along.

Thanks everyone. I am hoping that my pdoc can help too. Maybe a med tweak is in order.

went to the Pdoc yesterday, no med changes. He said, "sometimes we just need a really good cry" and he said that because he asked how often I have these crying spells and I said about every 2-3 weeks.
I guess I just need a good cry sometimes.
