I think it is understandable. Sometimes we all need a good cry to clear out the system. Honestly, I'd rather be sad than up. When I'm up, I'm always waiting on the crash. When the crash comes it's worse than general sadness.

My husband is manic right now and unmedicated and constantly makes me his personal psychiatrist. He sits me down, cries, express his rage, and he always feels better afterwards. Maybe it has to be with the fact that is a way of "expressing" how you feel.
Of course, I always end up crying after one of our "sessions".

Thanks, gals! :) I will try to vent in moderation, lol. XX

Depression can be a comfort zone for some of us.(me)You are not weird at all. Use it as a good tool to vent emotions ecc..
When I 'cant' cry,there is always a bigger problem lurking.
Crying has a great purpose..you are normal.
BUT use caution not to get stuck there..
best wishes-

I used to wonder why I sometimes feel "good" being depressed. I talked to my therapist about it and she said that I could be enjoying it because most people stop caring about everything when they get depressed. since then I realized she was right, at least for me. If I have a lot to worry about, and then I get depressed, there is a sense of relief because I stop caring. That could be part of why you comfortable being sad.

I like to cry. It makes me feel human again. I haven't cried in months. I think it is the result of the meds working. I totally understand. Crying is a great release.

I never cry but it comes close.

I think the 'sad' time make the "happy" times happier.

i believe that a good cry is good for everyone..its a release

A prefer a good shit... that is a massive relief !

i try to not cry too much... it fucks up my contacts

Sometimes I think you need to cry to cleanse yourself of all the toxins you pick up from day to day just living life.

Crying is a great release for me IF I don't get stuck there.

Crying can help clear out bad feelings! Its also sometimes easy to wallow in pain and it can feel strangely comforting! x

Crying is great!! I love to cry and let our all of the yuckiness inside of me. Especially when my 10year old daughter treats me like shit!! My girls getting older and not needing me much makes me cry all of the time, but I think that is pretty normal...what can I say I'm just as emotional as you. :)
My life has it's ups and downs, I guess life is just that....up and down!!

Crying is a cleansing of the soul. We all need it from time to time. I used to be afraid that if I started crying--I'd never stop. Now I know it always makes me feel better--even if it's the last thing I always think of to do! xo
