Is it just me....

Or does anyone else get that "on the verge of tears" feeling constantly throughout the day? I don't want to give in to it and cry, I am tired of crying but I don't know how to make it stop. Will the medication I am on (Lexapro 10mg) stop this when it gets into my system (I have only been on it about 2 weeks).

I feel pathetic but I am hoping this verge of tears deal will go away soon.

Thanks for your replies.

If you can cry I would cry.

Yeah, I've felt that way too, not so much anymore because of my meds but it depends on the day I suppose.

I have that feeling all the time, but for me I cannot seem to cry. I really want to cry.

sometimes just crying helps. I have days were I feel like that too.

I get like this all the time, especially when I'm really low. I don't just feel the tears, but they actually come. I get really embarrased about it -which of course makes it worse. I cry when someone says something nice, or something mean.

I think it does help to have a good cry every once and awhile, but all the time? I'm tired of it!

I agree it does help to have a good cry every now and then but when you run the risk of dehydration from the amount of tears shed (is that possible? lol) then I'd say it's a bit much.

Thanks for the replies all.

The only tears I seem able to cry are ones of blood when I cut myself... Last time I cried tear tears was April 26, 2002 - day of my boyfriend's funeral.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
