For the last several weeks I have been crying all the time. I am overly sensitive to everything. I can't stand it anymore. I am not myself. I can't function like this. Has anyone ever experienced this? Do you have advice? I have been going to see a therapists but it is like this has spun out of control and therapy isn't helping. I am also on meds which have always helped me but apparently aren't anymore. Please let me know if you have experienced this and if anything helped.

not sure if you just started your medication, i hear it takes a few weeks for your body to adjust and level out,thats where i am at right now,i know how you are feeling,io used to cry alot as well,but the meds i just started has taken the edge off that,but as the meds are continue'ing to evolve the crying part has re-occured,but its been just a week,.
if you have been on the meds for awhile then it might be the time to have them increased to help you get more stabled.

sofia, I think you are experiencing possibly the results of some therapy. I think sometimes when we open our mind up for help, it lets much of our problems escape from the subconscious. Your stress maybe so high, it is outweighing you medical doses at present. I know when stress gets high for me, my anti-anxiety/depression medicine gets overwhelmed and I get temporarily out of sorts. Lucky for me my stress level is normally not terribly high very often...but when it does it leaves me in a mess.

My Dr. would not increase my meds recently when I was stressed, because the stress was not going to last. It was temporary. I am glad you have a therapist, but right now, you might think it is harming you...I don't think it is. It is you trying to learn a new way of processing information and I would highly recommend you continue. I think you will begin to see some positive results soon. Hang in there and good luck with getting better. Hugs, bj

I can certainly relate to the feeling of not being able to stop crying and feeling like I am not myself. For me it was a matter of getting on medication again as I had gone off. I would ask the same question brought up before about how long you have been on. Also, is your dose or medication the right amount? And finally, is there something traumatic going on right now for you, perhaps the issues being talked about in therapy? What I do know is that my depressive episodes always pass or at least improve (even though while in it I always feel they won't!). I would agree with bj to hang in there, keep posting on here, and be patient. I know it is very hard, I have been there. I wish you well and greatly appreciate you sharing this on here!

I know I was having trouble crying at anything. It didn't have to be bad stuff. I cried at a compliment, walking the dog, making coffee. There was one day at work I started crying at lunch and finally had to go home because I couldn't control it. I have now been on my meds for 3 1/2 weeks and I think I'm doing better. Maybe your meds aren't where they should be. I would talk to you Dr. if it keeps happening.

Dealing with things that are brought up in therapy is tough, because it makes it real. I can't help but think that you are experiencing some side-effects from simply talking and trying to work through your issues, which is completely normal.

However, if it lasts, I would talk to your doctor about either changing medication or upping your dosage.

I bet you're dealing with a lot right now, and I know who overwhelming that can be. I am about to restart this process myself, as I recently went back on medication after not taking it for a few years. I already feel better, but know I have issues to work with too.

You are brave by reaching out, and don't ever be afraid to talk to your doctor if you're not feeling better. I hope you feel better soon!
