Lately I've been a blubbery mess, I would say this seems to happen somewhat from early fall through to the late winter (almost my mid March birthday)....something about feeling emotionally cold and lonely, feeling like I am getting older with nothing to show for it and nothing to look forward to. My t-doc and grandma seem to sort of minimize and blow off what I feel. My mom is hugely empathetic and kind but also has a limit, since she has bp. Do any of you cry at the drop of a hat-song, scene in a movie or tv show, something you read, heat, etc...cry yourself to sleep sometimes?

I feel like I really am losing it :-(

I can be going along just fine and then have something trigger me and I will cry over what appears to be nothing. Meds do help. I experienced more depression too in the winter when living up north. I find sudden crying to be very frustrating and embarrassing.

Yes, I cry at the least little thing...always have...I agree that it is very annoying!

Hugz!

For me, when I cry, it just feels good to get it out, it is a release for me. We were given the ability to cry and I don't always think it is a bad thing.

I do cry at movies or songs if they move me and a emotionally triggering. I just think that I have a big heart is how I look at it with movies and music.

I'm like Halterbroke, I'm on a lot of meds and they have blunted my emotions.I'd love to have a good cry. Right about now lol.

Wow! I can cry at the right/wrong commercial? I cry at songs, I cry at a good TV show. I am a Very Emotional person. I personally do not see one thing wrong with it unless it gets way out of hand? I have been known to cry when I read a book.

A good Cry is a great form of stress relief, and works wonders for your inner self. It will help you to get to that deep down inside person we all need to find.

I've been crying at drop of a hat last 2 days. I think partly because of stress of the holidays and other issues going on. I cried at the christmas tree lot yesterday because they didn't have any pretty trees in my price range. lol. hoping this will pass soon & hugs to you Jasmine. I can't speak for everyone, but I know exactly how you feel.

Sounds to me to be a case of SAD ( seasonal affective disorder). They sell lamps at most pharmacies to mimic the effects of sunlight.

Hope you are feeling better soon!!

I have schizoaffective (bipolar type) and deal with depression a lot and get the tears a lot. In the winter it helps if I do my light therapy. I hope you feel better soon.
