This is so weird, I've been trying to find out if there's somebody out there with this same issue, and what kind of issue is it. The thing is that I cry a lot and sometimes I don't even have a real reason. Sometimes I just like to think of imaginary situations that can make me cry and I just cry, and I'm not sure... but I think that it makes me feel better. I don't know if this is some kind of mental issue...but I'm scared, and I don't feel like going with a specialist. Is it wrong to cry if there's no real reason? Is it wrong to create reasons if there aren't any?

First of all lets take the judgmental statements such as wrong and weird out of the equation. They are shamming words and you have nothing to be ashamed of. You may be suffering from depression which is a common ailment these days. Depression is simply a deficiency in certain brain chemicals that produce a feeling of well being. Your family doctor can be of great help. If you do not seek the help you need your condition could worsen and produce some real tragic consequences in the long run. So, there is nothing wrong with you as a person. You are fine and you are courageous to ask the question. You simply need a little help to get you back on track.

You need to see a doctor. You are severely depressed. But not the doctor who decided to meddle with your personal life and made the comment about you breaking up with your boyfriend.\n\nI think you do care, and I think that you care deeply. It's why you cry so much. Because everything hurts so much. Right now, the best thing you could do would be to get yourself to a doctor/psychiatrist and get yourself on medication and in counselling. The meds will help balance the chemistry in your brain while you work out your problems and hopefully find other ways to deal with them or your general outlook on life.

Ya! I try to force myself never to cry because I come close to breaking down everyday. I've had such a miserable life I really can't believe what I've been through and the last 8 years has been absolutely hell. I just can't do this any more.After reading your profile made me realize what I don't have.

This may sound strange but when I am doing good emotionally like without any big problems, not depressed, everything is going well, people always tell me their problems and serious stuff, but when I am doing bad it seems like they don't tell me anything.\nI think I must send out some of vibes but not sure what they are.

your making me cry! i hope you will be able to get through your situation. of course its hard to deal with and dont let others try to tell you to get over it. its good your expressing your feelings outwards. i hope you share what you wrote with others close to you. it might help a little more.

It is good that you are questioning why you feel this way, and also that you want to stay away from\n"sledgehammer" solutions that involve powerful,\nsometimes untested prescription medicines. When it\ncomes to your health, remedies that are stronger are\nnot always better. I have three things that have\ngotten me through times when I've been depressed, and\nthey're all gentle solutions that I think will suit an\nintelligent person like yourself. \n\n1 - The first is what Freud calls the "talking cure".\nHe insists that it must be performed by a\npsychoanalyst who you are paying for, but actually\nI've performed it by writing in a diary. The key is to\nbe very honest, and try to find connections that you\nmight otherwise be supressing, because these are the\nareas that need work. For example, what's the first\nthing that pops into your mind when you think of\n"depression"? If the answer is "flying a kite", then\nfollow the chain... What do you think of when you\nthink of "kite" and "flying"... You'll be surprised\nhow quickly this takes you right down to an event in\nyour childhood or an unresolved conflict that might\nhave happened a year ago.\n\n2 - Looking for lies. A chair cannot make you\ndepressed. A lampshade cannot make you depressed. Only\nanother person can make you depressed. I believe it is\nbecause a chair and a lampshade cannot lie. Only a\nperson can lie. Depression, it seems to me, comes from\nbelieving a lie. That conflict (between reality and\nthe lie) takes up so much mental energy to maintain,\nit drains you as a whole. You may find, after using\ntechnique #1, that it leads to you to this conclusion\n#2. For example, after free associating your way to an\nevent, you might find that it was when someone told\nyou that you weren't worth a hill of beans. The\nproblem is not that they insulted you, the problem is\nthat you believed the lie. Beware, giving up on a lie\nthat we've believed in for a long time is tougher than\nit sounds.\n\n3 - This one is going to sound goofy, especially after\nwading in deeply with the other two techniques. Get\nsome light to shine on the cells in the back of your\neyes. Go outside for an extended period of time\nwithout sunglasses (no need to stare at the sun or a\nlight-bulb, indirect light will do). Use one of those\ngentle light therapy products like www.everlyte.com .\nTake a trip on a sailboat. Spend a few hours in open\nfields on sunny days. It's those cells in the eyes\nthat produce much of the chemical that pills and\nherbal remedies seek to replace, but the cells in the\neyes put the chemicals where they are needed, in your\nbrain, and not in your stomach and everywhere else.\nThis third technique will help you with the other two,\nallowing you to think clearly, and get out from being\nstuck in a loop.\n\nI hope this "whole-istic" answer is as helpful to you\nas it has been to me over the years. A gentle look at\nthe whole picture is often better than a sledgehammer\nto just one piece of the problem.

perhaps admitting you have a problem and calling your doctor. Sometimes you cant help but feel depressed and have anxiaty (?) It may be a chemical imbalace. Might not have anything to do with you directly.

Is this a normal reaction for you? If so, it could be one of the signs of depression (crying easily, mood swings, etc), and you should talk to your doctor and tell him how you feel. He might be able to prescribe you medication.\n\nIf it's not normal for you, it could be just female mood swings or PMS, or it could be related to other stress in your life. Do you have a lot going on right now? If so, try talking to someone older who you trust, maybe a school counselor or somebody from your church/job, etc.

Ally, Have been to a doctor?  After reading through your profile, it's obvious that there are some serious issues going on.  Getting on Yahoo Answers maybe one form of release as far as getting in put and being able to express yourself and I think it's great that you can come on here and just let loose with questions and answers but you really need to get to a doctor if you haven't already.  If you have a chemical imbalance then you can get medication and have the opportunity to live and be and feel free from all these emotional problems.

Yeah. When you've been hurt so badly, you block out every emotion except pain and sadness. You don't necessarily physically hurt; but the emotional pain is unbearable. It doesn't last forever though. Talk to a counselor or a close friend/relative. Sorry honey!!!! P.S. Right category.

I do when I think to much negatives about myself, but that usually happens at night when I'm alone... and no not that often right now. Other times I'll cry for my family, if someone is sick, or something. But if I'm too emotional sometimes I'll cry seeing something sad on the news... or of course a sad movie, which is why I don't like dramas. I'll also cry out of anger. I don't think it's bad, it's better than screaming and cussing out someone like some people do. I think I am a very emotional person, but at the same time I have learned how to work with it, and I'm happy that I have.

Than what is it?  A cry for help IS attention-seeking.  Its not necessarily a bad thing. It just means that you have identified that you need help and your problems are greater than you can handle alone.  But I don't thinking you're seeking help in the right places.  You won't go to see a therapist, yet you continue to feel sorry for yourself and feel suicidal.  I don't understand why 3 or 4 of your questions contain something to the effect of "mental health professional, help me", yet you refuse to actually see a mental health professional.  \nI guess I am a mental health professional, but not a licensed psychologist.  I have been doing counseling for 8 years and have completed all the coursework for the doctorate and just have to finish my one year of practice.  \nI'm sorry that I always come off as the mean one, but honestly, someone needs to tell you this.  You need someone to help you.  Its not something you can do alone.  Its not something you can do online.  You need real, person-to-person help.  That does not make you crazy.  That does not mean they will lock you up.  You just have problems, everyone does, maybe not to the same magnitude, but there are millions of people in this world that deal with conflict and pain on a daily basis and persevere. You could be one of these people if you sought help.  Do you remember my analogy of a person with a broken arm, screaming and crying in pain, but refusing to go to the hospital?  \nBecause, honestly, I don't think catharsis is going to work in your case.  You submit questions everyday, asking for help, threatening to hurt yourself.  You realize that this is a problem and its very disturbing to you, yet you don't want to fix it.  Do you also remember my reference to the depressive "comfy space"? \nAgain, I apologize if I sound as if I am being mean.  But a lot of people on this site will coddle you.  Which is fine.  Everyone's first instinct is to help and preserve life.  But professionally, I know that this is reinforcing your behavior, as are all my responses to your questions.  You need someone to tell you the truth....that you are depressed beyond the point of self-help or Yahoo Answers help....that you are posting shocking questions on this site to feel like others care about you and your feelings are validated...that you will find any excuse to avoid going to therapy...and that you will blame everyone else for your pain.  You blame those that abused you, although I have known many women who were sexually and emotionally abused, yet have been able to live fairly normal existances.  You blame other people on this site for making you upset by being "mean", but some of them are saying things that may be true but you don't want to hear.  Plus, you've made some comments directed to me, regarding the attention-seeking.  It is so much easier for people to make themselves the victim and blame everyone else and then use that as an excuse for their behavior.  \nYou need to stop blaming others, stop making yourself the victim, make yourself stronger, and seek help.  By not seeking help, you are the one who is sustaining your depression.  By seeking help, you are choosing to break from this cycle.  \nAgain, I apologize if this sounds harsh and I fully expect a pointed comment, but you need to realize that your problems are within your control. What you need assistance with are your reactions to those problems.

I don't know what causes it, but you're not alone if it helps you at all. Sometimes it's all too much and I just want to sit in the corner and stare at my feet. There's no particualr reason, sometimes there's a good reason for feeling happy and I just can't do it. I think we all have dark days/ weeks/ months, and sometimes it takes for someone to reach out and say everything will be ok. \nSO this is me, a complete stranger, saying chin up, everything will be ok. And don't listen to people when they say think positive, it just makes it worse. \n\nSmile, it makes people wonder what you're up to \n:P

1. Yes, but I never actually believe that it's for "no reason".\n\n2. Sometimes there are extreme hormonal shifts which can cause unexplained bouts of emotion.  Either that, or high stress can cause frequent crying also.\n\n3. I do not envy women for their pain!  I think about that stuff, and I am very glad to be a male.  That's why women deserved to be pampered and treated with special care...because they go through enough negative stuff as it is!
