My problem is that I cry too much. Ever since I was a child people have called me a sensitive person and I guess I always have been more sensitive than an average person. I don't remember at what point it really became a problem but at the moment it is a huge problem that I fear is ruining my life. I am married and my husband has just about had enough of my tendency to cry so easily. I have had enough about crying myself because I feel I can't control myself and it is making me feel hopeless. I might be smiling at one moment and crying the next. I cry even about meaningless, small things or things that should make me happy, not sad. For example, I might cry over a TV show, over touching music, over a thought that comes to my head, kissing my husband, sex with my husband, missing someone, when someone says something nice or mean to me - just over all, I cry whether I am happy or sad. I cry just about every day. It is exhausting to myself and others. Being so emotional is really exhausting, it's like being on a roller coaster and you don't know what's coming next. It is also embarrassing not to be able to control myself, I feel like a child sometimes. It is exhausting because I know my husband can't stand to see me cry and it is making him feel hopeless too. So I blame myself for giving him all this grief. I am pregnant now (and no, this is not pregnancy hormones because I was like this before I got pregnant). My husband has told me that he is fearing for our baby, what will it do to him to see his mum cry every day the way I do now. He said he is afraid of what this is doing to our marriage. I know he is at wits end and so am I. I don't want to be this way but I don't know what to do. I used to think that I am just an overly sensitive person but now I am afraid there is something truly wrong with me. I desperately need advice so if anyone has experience, please help me.
