Right now I have a legit reason for these happening (trouble in my relationship), but aside from that having happened, I feel as though these come on fairly randomly. I could be in the middle of doing something simple like making my bed and I will have a crying fit. Like suddenly it just dawned on me how sad I am, inside. I've been very sad for a very long time...I just wish I knew what it was like to be happy for more than maybe 20 minutes at a time. Would be nice.

I cry a lot too. And I can not always find the reason for the tears. Are there things you enjoy doing? Have You talked to a professional about your sadness?

I feel you on that. I've had times where I'll just think about the things keeping me down and I'll just feel like crying, and even wind up doing it for a while. Luckily it doesn't happen very often to me but those times it does are just horrible.

It sounds really kind of sad. I wonder if I was able to cry more, perhaps feel my pain more in the way of crying than anger and hatred if I would not be better off. Maybe if I could give it a good cry my daugter would cooperate when I need it most. Make her feel guilty and shit. Now I'm just being manipulative.

But I hope it feels better for you soon. do you feel relieved or just empty after wards?
