Crying too Much

Well as the titles says , I cry too much. I cry all the time and can not seem to get a hold on myself. I think of how I have been wrong by or how my husband is being a monster again and I cry. I tend to feel so sorry for myself I cant get to do anything. I feel so useless and angry and then I cry again.

How do you cope with your overwhelming emotions?

I constantly find myself wishing to be a part of a family or marriage in blue bloods for example. Where they have issues and that's ok and then they support each other and everything is ok again . Why can't I have that in my life?

I think what works for me is to have a small ritual. That is my structure, my distraction. It is something that keeps me focused on the now. Not the past or the future, the now. Sometimes, it involves temporary escape, a distraction.

Here at Psych Central Forums, I have used the games forum to get me distracted towards a calm place. I have concentrated on something from outside my emotions and focused my energies on respite of calmness, somewhat like a meditation.

Take what you like and leave the rest behind.

Thank you. Concentrating on the now would make me cry even more. It is not the best now I have ever had. But I get what you are saying. Do something ells to distract yourself from your current feelings.

I am going to try that.
