I was wondering does anyone seem to struggle with the up and downs as much as I do. Last few days I'm a teary mess. I can't hold my emotions in and I break down and cry everywhere home school work. I feel so out of control and I also feel like there's no real support most of friends have disappeared or they are not close enough for me to mention it. I wish there was someone I could talk to that understands.
The tears come for all the negitive thoughts, how everything's all wrong (I don't fit in I might fail school, I'm going broke due to car accident can't work, my friends are non existent ... I'd be better off dead) and even a sad song on the radio starts the tears. Anyone else cry so much?

I am sorry that you feel that way=(

Just wanted to send you a hug really xxxx

I cry all the time too. My own mother called me a cry baby a long time ago. I've been crying every day for a week now because of financial issues, family issues, arguing with boyfriend, etc. I wish I could just disappear, I feel like nobody would care anyway. Maybe my boyfriend would care but that's it.

Hi. I've had this problem as well. I would be grocery shopping and start crying at random things. And I can't wear sunglasses everywhere lol. What helped me it to take deep breaths and repeat a mantra like this will pass, I'm going to be ok or I choose not to cry. Also, it helps if you can picture a happy event or a family pet - something nice. When I'm alone I've found that it's cathartic to just bawl! Let it all out. I think it reduced my crying in public and felt good to let it all out. I've spent too many years stuffing my feelings down.

I can relate to that. I know what that feels like to a certain extent. I think it's okay to be emotional and to cry. There is nothing wrong with that. I have found that meditation and mindfulness can help when you're about to cry out and about. Let me know if you want to talk.

I cry sooo much I can totally relate. I didn't know how much I cried until I went mixed state and suddenly I was depressed but had not tears. My hands kept wiping my tears that weren't there, like a reflex that matched my mood. I have never been to my T or pdoc without crying, it is just part of me. OK, now here is a secret I would only share here. When I am particularly emotional and know I will wake up in the middle of the night and want to cry, I keep a special towel tucked under my pillow. I even did it as a child if I was upset. There is nothing worse than wet pillowcases in the middle of the night.

I would be interested on how you use meditation and mindfulness. Thanks

Hi Simply_Orange, I feel for you!

I have been crying a lot at work, home or just when I am out & feel worthless. I have thoughts & voices telling me to cut or even commit suicide;((

If you have voices telling you to cut or commit suicide it would be a good idea to talk to a professional about it ASAP. That's a dangerous state of mind. I hope you feel better.

There are several things that I feel like I need to cry about but I bury my thoughts and feelings because I feel like if I start crying I won't stop.

A couple months ago I switched to overnight shifts at work so I can cry without being seen by clients or coworkers. It's so embarrassing for me because I usually am crying over random sick thoughts or sick feelings that I know intellectually are not even true but reality never matches my feelings.
