Is this normal? Part of the mixed/depressive episode I am in? I have been depressed many times without this constant crying. I am also weeping in front of people which is not like me. So many things trigger me; my hopelessness to cute bunnies. I am inhosptal being treated but the crying won't stop. Friends and family say they have never seen me this way.

I guess what I am asking is that is this normal, a release of years of pent up emotion or it is because of the depression...or another cause I haven't thought of?

Hi Hun, this has happened to me before. It's distressing in and of itself. I recall a bad spell where I cried several hours straight. I finally fell asleep from exhaustion, mentally and physically. At the time, for me, it was related to being in a mixed episode and holding down a high pressure attorney corporate position. I was cracking, it seemed. I kept it together at work and then just collapsed in floods of tears for hours. This happened for awhile.

I am so sorry you are having a rough time. We are here for you. xo

Hi Wander, Yes it is another "normal", at least it is for me depending on where I am in my moods. Usually I find myself crying for the silliest reasons when I am very depressed or when I am at the extreme end of being hypo when I am irritated with everything and refuse to believe or accept anyone's directions. All of this has become my normal way of dealing with life-sometimes embarrassing, and sometimes it has jeopardized my job.

I am sorry that you are now having to deal with tears. Maybe the release of the emotion will help in some way.

Glad to hear it is kind of normal. Does feel releasing at times but others it just seems to make the pain worse. It has been days on end and in tired. It is just weird for me as I haven't cried in years, even after the death of my grandparents.

Thanks for checking back in. Keep us posted and PM me if you ever need to chat. xo
