My meds do help during the day: I don't cry as much everywhere I go. But when the evening rolls around, I cry non-stop. I'll put a movie on, but instead I'll look away from the t.v. and just stare into space. I'll try to eat dinner, but I just end up crying tears in my food. I carry around my box of Kleenex from room to room, cuz I know I'll need it at some point during the night. What is wrong with me? Do the meds wear off as the day goes along (I only take them once a day, in the morning)? Last night a friend called me, but I was crying so badly, I had to cut the call short. Any help please? I'm so, so tired of crying every day. It wears me out mentally and physically. It makes me feel so weak and pathetic.

I don't know what is wrong cuz I do not use meds. All I know is I feel worse at night than during the day but I started reading even though I don't like reading. It seems to help because some time passes by the time I am tired and it distracts me from all my other thoughts.

Just a sugestion

Take care.

It is okay, you are okay. Night for a lot of us is harder than the day is. It is a time that maybe triggering for us and a time when we remember being more vulnerable than in the day. I know that is true for me. I have to work on that a lot. There is nothing wrong with you.

The light of day, you can see things clearly or that is how I feel but nighttime seems to make things hazy as our minds can go back. Time is what it takes. Have you tried journaling during the day how you feel? Talking to your t is very important as h/she can give you advice on how to cope too.

You did nothing wrong and are doing nothing wrong. I understand the tears and the not sleeping. I sleep more during the day because I cannot at night. I watch tv, draw, write, get here on PC and talk to someone, reach out and ask someone to sit with me---whatever it takes to get through. You did the right thing by posting. Keep posting. Someone is around and cares--I do.

I thank you for trusting us enough to reachout. That took courage. That took a lot that not even I could do for myself a lot of times and I am so proud of you. I hope you feel really good about that. I hope you will keep posting and letting us know how you feel. Know we are here and only an ear away from hearing you. You are important and We Care..

I'm sorry the nights have been so hard for you, and I know how you feel. Nighttime tends to be a lot more difficult for me too, because I'm done with school and work and errands to distract me from my depression. It makes it a lot harder to manage when you're alone in the dark with it, doesn't it?

You are not weak or pathetic, just ill. Whenever I start to cry for no reason I try to tell myself that it's not me, it's the depression, it's just a symptom flaring up -- like sneezing when you have a cold -- and it's not my fault that it's happening. Try not to be too hard on yourself -- acknowledge how you're feeling and let out those feelings when you need to.

Is there anything you can do to make yourself laugh, or at least crack a smile? Whenever I feel like I'm going to lose it, I try to distract myself with something that may not make me feel better, but will at least access my sense of humour, just to remind myself that it's still there. I like sitcoms, or finding jokes online, or listening to some favourite comedians.

Hope things start getting easier for you soon.
