Ask Me Help Desk - Why do I cry so much for no apparent reason?

Hi,
I'm 13. I can't sleep lately and It takes me hours to fall to sleep and I cry a lot when I am alone or when I feel down or if I feel like I did something wrong. I don't know what it is. I think I have transient Insomnia or depression. And I haven't felt like talking or texting any of my friends. I don't know what's wrong with me. Some of my friends are worried about me.CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER ME?

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

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.
