I don't know what's wrong with me. I have only normal stress, but I have this overwhelming urge to cry. I feel overwhelmed - but for no good reasons. I'm taking my meds, but I still feel weird.

Hi englishteacher,

Let yourself cry... you never know what might come up and there you might have an answer....

But also, do you think there might have been any changes with your meds? A friend of mine told me how they recently switched her med to a generic brand and she can feel a difference, even though it is the same dose.

Sending good thoughts your way.

Thanks Elana - maybe has to do with a new job. Could be meds - the bottle got wet and the pills got kind of funky...

maybe you should call your Dr and ask if that can cause spike in emotions...
or maybe a pharmacist will know.

Oh, please define normal stress for me

A new job is extremely stressful, but maybe you are telling yourself that is 'shouldn't' be?

That happens to me at times, you will be suprised at how much better you will feel if you can just find a quiet place and cry, let it out.

Okay - I have worked here before, doing the same thing, but it has been 10 years. I'm teaching part time at the univ. that I got my grad. degree from. I figured out last night that a big part of what I'm feeling is that I have disappointed my mentors here...the people that I have looked up to - because I didn't get my PhD and go on and do great academic things. I feel like a dog returning with it's tail between it's legs. Plus, the whole school has changed so drastically that it is totally unfamiliar AND my boss has not been really communicative about the expecations of the college and nuts and bolts things that I need to know. I'm feeling better today. I just have to remember that I am where I am in my life. I could have done more with my "potential" but I made other choices and now I will have to live with them.
