I don't understand this. I seem to cry a lot latley for no reason. Its like I'm having a great day/night out when all of a sudden something dawns upon me that I must start crying.:confused: Im not sure if its just 'not my time' or I'm going through.. depression.. I sure hope not, but I'm going to the doc's to sort it soon. But has anyone else got any suggestions of what it could be? :) Thanks. Becky

It's impossible to say with any certaincy with never having meet you.
You should go to the doctors asap.
Has anything changed recently?
Are you getting enough vitamin B? Lack of vitamin B can make people teary...

You could try Vitamin B6 50mg or vitamin B complex..

Hi... I do the same thing from time to time, but I can blame mine on being post-menopausal (ergo my user name :) ) I don't know what age you are, but your reasons could be tied to hormones, too, no matter how old you are. You should definitely talk to your doctor, especially if it's interferring with your quality of life too much.

Take care...

Thanks for helping! :D

Did you speak to a doctor? How are you feeling now?

I used to do this to when I was younger, sometimes it happens out of the blue now but I'm glad its hardly ever. I really think it's a hormonal thing. You may be depressed a little, I got on anti depresants and I was having anxiaty attacks so I quit taking them, and I have found ways to cope, when I feel like crying. I try and think about the possitve things more then the negative. To relax I close my eyes imagine myself on the beach listening to the waves, breathing deeply. Find whatever it is that helps sooth you and when you feel like crying try it I'm sure it'll help. Good luck!

Hi,

Maybe, someone out there can help me. I'm in my 40's and cry when I get embarrassed, nervous, or anxious. I have been going to therapist since I was 13. I take antianxiety pills, antidepressants, talk to God and nothing is working for me. It is especially hard for me when I have to speak in public. I start crying during my presentations. I try to avoid them of course but I'm in school and speeches are required. Can anyone offer any new insight. I have gone as far to consider getting my tear ducts removed. (No doctor will do it) Thanks for anything you can offer.

I have to wonder what age you are. I am in my early 40's and I used to never cry about anything! Over the last 2 years it has gotten so bad that I can't control it. I cry when I watch American Idol and people do good or get kicked off, I cry watching commercials and listening to music. I did mention it to my doctor and he did some bloodwork. He does not think I have started going through the change yet and told me to try Wellbutrin... I have not gotten it filled yet and plan to do so today. My kids see me cry about every little thing and I'm afraid they think I'm going crazy... I feel like I am at times because I can offer no explanation for it. Also, I know of several people who started taking anti-depressants and became suicidal, so that is also a concern for me... I sure don't want to end up like that...

I have a similar tendency to cry for no reason, often within minutes of feeling quite good. After many years of trying various things, from cognitive therapy to anti-depressents, I have come to the conclusion that the real problem is not the crying, but the sudden shift in mood. I have come to accept these sudden "mood swings" as symptoms of some form of bipolar disorder. Although I am less likely to notice "manic" episodes, doctors have told me that some forms of bipolar disorder are primarily depressive with only mild mania (bipolar type 2), and there is even something called monopolar disorder. It can take a lot of courage to seek treatment for this kind of thing, and no treatment is perfect. Currently, I'm finding that Seroquel helps a little, although I don't take a high dose for fear of weight gain and diabetes. I also rely on Clonazepam as needed, which is primarily effective not because it helps me feel "better," but because it helps me feel "less."

It's not good to hide those feelings people! When you feel the need to cry don't hold it in it'll only make you feel worse! Just cry! You'll be surprised on how much better you feel afterwords! Trust me I talk to people on Facebook one in mind who has those problems.. .

I was just asking myself last night why do I cry so much. I figured it out though for me,I think. I'm very sensitive to others and what they are going through. I cry when I see an elderly person by themselves in church, I cry when I see other people cry either on TV or in person or when I think that person is hurting and alone. I worked with someone who cried once in 10 years and I said I cried on the way to work this morning listening to someone on the radio. I told the person I cry all the time and he said he admired me for it. He wished he could do it more. This was a tough guy too. I cry when people tell me sad stories because I feel for them and their situation. I tell them please don't tell me this, I'll start to cry but they tell me anyway and I cry. That's mainly why I cry. It started in my early teens attending funerals and seeing family members sad. I also cried watching Shirley Temple movies when I was a kid. Those were the worst back then for me. Sometimes it makes things difficult because the tears just come. It gets embarrassing and I usually say I feel so bad for that person. Have never tried medication; but am thinking about it. I'll start crying in a room full of people and I'll be the only one tearing up during a show or movie. I think maybe no one feels bad for the person like I do. I just don't know. Like the above response maybe I have a disorder and don't know it.

I do this 2 all the time I don't know why I'm 20 one day I'm happy I mean I love my life but all of a suddent I wake up I feel so depresed but I have nothing to be depressed about I feel so make I makes me cry I don't know my family members don't understand in fact I am crying write now I hate this help me plzzzzzzzz..!

I have always been seen as 'over-sensitive', even since I was a child. I cry over the littlest things, even stories about animals that have been abandoned or a sad movie. But lately there's been some tension between me and my boyfriend as we're both going through a lot of changes job-wise etc and it's a long-distance relationship. He knows that I cry at the drop of a hat but now lately if we're arguing and I start crying he just gets really angry and tells me to stop. I know he's going through stuff but why does he have to get so angry with me? I can't help the way I am and if I'm crying during an argument then it's for a genuine reason. I've been depressed in the past and was in counselling for some time but the whole crying thing has been going on forever, think it's just because I'm a very emotional person. It can be very embarrassing though so I understand the feeling of wanting to get advice on it.

I am 14 years old and I can be so so happy then all of a sudden I just cry.. its really stupid.. sometimes I could just be watching eastenders and then just cry or just in the car with my mum.. I really don't know what to do my mum thinks its my hormons but its I just feel really sad for no reason, Anyone that can help ?

I cry sometimes when I don't expect it. But, there are other times, when I watch certain movies, that I'll cry... and I can't control it. For example, at the beginning of Star Trek, when Kirk's mother gives birth to him, and his father and her are choosing his name - just before, both know, he will die saving hundreds of lives - and she's no longer going to be with him, her husband, and that she'll be alone with only her new born son; James Tiberius Kirk.
And an older movie, The Abyss, when Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio's character dies by choice in frozen water. And her husband drags her back to safety and revives her.
Anything empathetic gets to me. I don't understand it. Is that bad; I mean, is there something wrong with me?

chelseas9926,
Try volunteering. It sounds like you have a need to help out. Try giving your help, once a week, to a homeless shelter.
I may be wrong, but it can't hurt. See if it makes just a little change in your outlook.
If it doesn't, screw it... just take drugs... LOL! Just kidding.
Seriously, see if it makes you feel different. If it does, then maybe God is telling you that you are a healer; maybe a nurse, or even a doctor; a psychologist. Someone who can definitely empathize.

Please help me as well. My parents don't know about this. I always feel like crying. I feel like I have no friends when I have a bunch. I sometimes sit in my room just sitting and doing nothing. I am really scared that this will affect me later on too. I'm 13 turning 14 in a couple of days . High school just started for me and I think that's why I am crying because I don't like it and my best friends is in another class. I don't know what to do . I really don't think its because of that because its been happenening to me for a year so far.
And I have noticed that the only one who can calm and sooth me down is one of my friends. I really love her and miss her. I still talk to her just not always and she isn't there anymore to sooth me down when I am crying because she went to a different high school
I really don't want to tell my parents about this. So please do help me
Is this because of depression
And also can you tell me more about the antidepressant pills
Thank you
Sincerely sanam

Okay, what you are going through is not normal. I really believe that you need medication. A psychologist is the best answer for you. She can diagnose and prescribe the right medication that will balance your strength.
You are passionate; I can tell that about you. But, your sadness is... well, it's just too strong. And it's wrong. You are way too sad. Believe me when I say it will get in the way of any other thing that you want to do with your life.
A doctor will know how to monitor you, and prescribe whatever fits best for you.

I am 19 years old and I have been like this since I can remember. I feel as if I have two personalities; one that is the happiest, loudest most enthusiastic student ever and the other, non-talkative, unco-oporative and very very tearful all the time for no apparent reason.
It has now got to the point where I am sad more or less all the time and it is putting a big strain on my relationship! I understand why my partner is upset with this as there is never anything he can do to make me happy when I'm in that state of mind. But still, it upsets me because it's the fact it is my body and I still can't do anything to make myself happy again.

I'm finding my life hard to deal with lately because it seems to be getting so much worse rather than any better. I don't want to lose my boyfriend and I don't want it to effect him!

Is there anyone that is going through the same as me or has?
Please help x

I cry ALL THE TIME!! Whether I'm on a sunny beach in Maine, in an Artic tundra, or singing along in the car to Billy Joel. The tears just keep coming. I'm so glad you feel this way too, I thought it was just me alone in this eye flooding trauma state. People laugh, point, and mock my sanity. And I just don't know what to do anymore. HELP ME PLEASE! :)

Thank you,
Teary Schmeary

Sometimes honestly believe this is simply our bodies way of destressing from things we have built up inside of our hearts and our minds... we always are trying to find a way to rationalize something that makes it so that it is anything other than what it is in our hearts that we have not faced.. people have strokes every day, and every day someone is recovering and that recovery process is guided by our minds ability to rewire itself. Is it unfathomable for us as people in our society that tells us to be strong that this wis the way our body allows itself to diffuse all of the pent up emotion within our mind. They say a drug addict stops the maturity process as a child and will not continue to develop as a maturing being until the day they. We are alivestop their habits. Now apply that same process to the idea that our goal is usually to push things deep, be strong, and move on. No drugs involved... where does it go…? It as all things do, eventually resurfaces, just as the oil from the bp disaster will someday rise from the ocean floor, our mind will force the emotion to surface. Its manifestation impulsed by a song that touches the heart, a loss that a TV show contestant suffers reminds our subconscious of our own inability to succeed in some area, a movie with a moral you for ndertone of inherent goodness in the world brings a tear to our eyes because we long for such a beautiful utopia, and the cry that comes when cuddled with someone you care about watching a happy couple ons the TV either because there is something unfulfilled in your own relationship or just the opposite. Our tears are natural, and our tears remind us that we are alive and that the issues before usare there. To cover them up only provides us with a compound and long term effect... just as the drunkeday we will all have those very thoughts to face upon deletclaring them validhas emotions to battle upon sobriety, as the pot smoker has them to remember upon clearing his mind... so does anyone and everyone who chooses the path of least admittance to their own soul.. lets face ours today... start a new day. Someday we will all have them to face...

I have the same problem. Im almost 22 and have been super emotional and sensitive all my life. The thing people need to understand is that it's not a bad thing.. people just don't get that the crying actually makes us feel better and once we've had a good cry.. we can be happy again. The human mind is a strange thing.. but it works in sync with the heart. If for any reason you're heart feels pain, this could lead to tears. Let us cry.. we'll get over it soon enough anyway!

Its doctor not doctors. You need to go to the doctor. Not doctors. Retard.

Even I cry a lot in fact I tend 2 get violent easily
I got many suggestions bt none of dem work

Hi Becky! I do the same thing. I'm 19 so I think it may have something to do with hormones but it's depression

Okay... You're probably starting to get inset for an emotional ride because... You're Period is maybe coming... My sister went through this... She had cried a lot... yelled a lot... and slept a lot.. So you might be going through that.. Or you're showing signs in my case of have depression felt feelings.. that includes a lot of crying!

I have been crying uncontrollably for the last few nights. I have a life anyone would kill for. Yet I cry for no apparent reason, other than constantly thinking that there is nothing in this world that is everlasting, etc, etc. It hurts me so much. I don't think of suicide; I have faith, and I am not so weak and so narrow-minded, and inconsiderate. Nor do I think that the world has nothing good to offer. I'm 17, and growing up, and I feel incredibly lonely lately. I make goals for myself, but nonetheless, I can't control the sobbing at night, and the aching of my heart.

What I want to tell you is that I'm with you SISTA, and I don't know the answer, but I just want you to know I'm rooting for all of us.

I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOUR Coming FROM. I had the sma ething happen to me. After I got my period, just after stating at why new school I cried for 2 hole months traight and I dodnt know why. Eveyrthing made me sad, I was unable to feel happy, I could barely eat. So basically I stepped into puberti. You'll be okay, you'll be just fine, you can survive this step in your life. Ust let it out and move on. Good luck hon

Well I recently got my twelve year old check up and the doctor said it was because I'm a perfectionist. She said that I want to help out every little person and make my life right and then I just got into 7th grade which is so much harder than 6th grade. She basically was saying that I'm taking on so much it stresses me out. I cry everyday too. I even cried on my birthday. Don't worry though. Crying is good. It's a way of getting you emotions out. Remember, Jesus wept. Don't hold back your tears. You will be fine I promise.

Hi my names Collin I'm thirteen and I had depession I think that if anyone is sad but they don't tell anybody that their sad your doing the wrong thing that's what I did and it sucked more after a while. I kept it all bottled up and didn't tell anyone but the problem about doing that is that then your bottle gets full and when you try and put cap on it your bottle starts to leak then leak turns into a hole and all you sadness falls out and you cry and cry the best thing to do is to talk to someone about it I did and it helped a lot

It might be a song or something which reminds you of someone died or something bad happened

Hoped this helped

There is no telling why but there are some signs why like if you lost someone you love and you are thinking about him/her but you don't know that you are jut a thought but if I have not met you there is no telling why so sorry

Hi I myself am going through the same thing you should seek professional help the reason being there is an underline problem something from your past that your subconscience has not let go of so even if its something simple as seeing an argument or people fighting that will trigger your emotional pain that mentally you seeem isn't a problem but your subconscience seems o dwell on. Communicating with someone professional will be your best bet to at least ease the problem that your unsure about. And yes it is a form of depression. Always remember there are levels of depression so it will be best to get it diagnosed.

I'm almost 15 and I notice that I cry all the time. I used to be really hyper and happy but now my friends usually say I'm emotionless or have no expression on my face. I notice now that I get upset for no reason and I cry a lot when I'm by myself. I can't figure out why. Sometimes I want to hurt myself but I'm scared of the pain. I'm usually happy around my friends or parents, but want to cry when I'm by myself.

I too cry a lot... mainly because I don't get along with my brother who is a yr younger - he does not talk to me at all & in fact if I try he hits me & does shameless behviour that it gets little difficult to make him to talk and act like siblings
This is further fueled by my mother - she likes me but she likes my brother more.. m saying this because when it comes to his matters my mom goes copletely blind and listens to only what he is saying and sides up with him on his ugly behaviour as well

My dad has lost control in the house and his verdict no longer is valid - he likes me but then again he too gets talked into supporting my brothers not talking behaviour with also because he preferes not seeing any fight - so he too does not make any efforts in making things better with my brother

I too have fights with my parents and ugly ones has there is huge difference in our thinking... n more in our language they use our local language which is very rude (one reason I feel the are always rude to me - I don't get there humor )

Amongst friends - I hve a lot but non I can say they are my true friends - till last yr - I'm not fiends anymore with my 8yrs long friend due to her boyfriend and I not getting along.. who apperently was good friends with me but since I learnt that he did only to steal her as girlfriend from this another guy she was dating... I felt extremely irriked - n felt immoral in his ( more in my friends part ) to behave like this - my friend has done this boyfriend switching several times . N I didn't want to be part of this nonsense anymore

There is another friend of mine - but she too left and has little less time in fact we only talk on phone -but regularly - one reason I can share with her my fights because I don't want to trouble her and don't want to loose her - what if she gets tired of my sob stories

Office - well here everybody is 40+ m the only one who is 25yr old girl working as a junior - they are nice to me but they don't get my topics as such and the humor behind them - m also a forgetful person and this habbit is because to over come the sad incidences I never recollect them after the moment is gone - just to be poitive but now this has also effected on my work life - when my senior scolds me she makes sure that she is loud ust to make others listen - it puts a real bad impression of me in front of others .

M not earning too good either as compared to my cousions & friends...

M too nice with everyone and try behave the they like me (in office)

I shout a lot get irritated with dirty house (my mom only believes in floor cleaning - does nothing for keeping things in place... also untimely meal served & poor quality of cookng.. when I tell my mom she gets very offencseive and ask me to work on it if I hve problem but if I do so next day I find things back where they were spread


I feel my life is hell! I feel too lonely & helpless!

Hey, I'm still in school. I take an anti-anxiety pill and it's helped me for the past year. Since it's not working for you, try and talk in front of a pet, of read something you didn't write in front of one person. I hope it helps. I have cried in front of class so many times. Now it has stopped. Hope this works!

You should take some time to re-evaluate anything that you might be holding back from yourself. There can be many things that you decide to 'think about later' that can subconsciously effect you and your state of mind.

If you are just more sensitive to things, then you are - There's no way to stop it unless you begin to try and accept what's happening that may be causing you to cry, then maybe you can look at it and see that its not so bad?

If none of what I've put so far is helpful, I'm sorry. I guess one last thing would be not to get your tear ducts removed! You need them in order to keep your eyes lubricated! If you were to, they would get very dehydrated and you would most likely have to take eye drops for the rest of your life (which could become incredibly painful if you let your eyes dry up too much). Hope this helps :)

If you're 13 still - It may just be your hormones, honestly - it's the most likely cause, teenagers can be diagnosed with all of the things under the sun at teen years because they are still developing. Don't worry, if this kind of thing continues into your adulthood, you should get checked up but for now, this is just one of those milestones.

I am tweleve and I cry at least 2 times a day for no reason nobody of my family knows and when I try to talk with them sometimes they listen but most of the time they don't I can't go to the doctor because I am in egypt and all I do all day is computer t.v. and cry

Thank you, that's the best kind of reply.

Hi

I am a man and this happens to me, it is often triggered by something that reminds me of my past like a song or a movie line usually, or can even be an old TV commercial. I had some pretty bad things happen to me as a child I don't know if its to do with this, the things that trigger it are usually happy memories, sometimes I think it's a realization of how bad things have gotten.

I have many mental health problems, adding to my childhood experiences I also have a family history of severe depression, my father was just admitted to hospital and diagnosed with severe bi polar and some type of schizophrenia maybe, he won't tell me I have to look at his meds and try and figure it out.

I have a handle on everything, the violent thoughts, the self loathing and the depression, I have been dealing with these since I was 7 and have built mechanisms to deal with these safely, but this crying thing I have no control over and it has happened at the wrong place a few times. Despite the depression and anxiety I am pretty happy half the time and feel really lucky to be alive even though things are a little harder for me than others, sometimes I feel really proud that I have gotten thro all this crap, I just want to get a handle on this crying thing cause I can't hide it and I don't want it to affect my life again.

I have been to doctors and councilors my whole life and I refuse to go back, I don't want to get on the meds cause that's the road my father went down and did not work at all. If anyone has any advice for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

i am tweleve and i cry at least 2 times a day for no reason nobody of my family knows and when i try to talk with them sometimes they listen but most of the time they dont i can't go to the doctor bcuz i am in egypt and all i do all day is computer t.v. and cry


When I was young I had many problems like you do, it really helps to talk to a friend or someone in your family you are close to, I know it seems like they don't want to but if someone cares about you they will listen.

Let me know how you go mate I had a pretty crazy childhood, maybe I can give you advice.

Hi ! I'm 17 and I don't know why I always cry even if I got a good day.. sometimes I know the reason why I cry so much, because I miss my mom. And I know this is so much crazy but when I always think of someone or something I feel like crying . I don't know if I'm just depressed. Sometimes I'm thinking that I'm running out of time to reach my dreams... was it maybe the reason why??

Omg Me too I cry everyday for no apprent reason... and my mom won't let me go to the docters to get tested for depression :( my friend is offering me a pill she takes for it and I'm going to take it

Apparently if you're low in the neurotransmitter, endorphins, it causes you to become oversensitive and weepy over the smallest things. I'm reading the "Mood Cure" by Julia Ross right now and I recommend it for anyone who has unstable mood, addiction, depression, and anxiety.
