Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I just got a phone call from my sister who stayed with me all last winter, now she is in San Diago... my doc wants me to get a sleep study to diagnose sleep apnea, so I asked my sister if she ever noticed if I snore or gasp for air or make noises or whatever that might indicate that I should like splurge and get the test (I don't have insurance and that test is quite costly)... ok, she says I don't snore or gasp or anything, that all I do is cry in my sleep, that I do it all the time.
This really blows my mind. I am NOT a cryer... oh, I'll laugh til tears roll, and once in a long gray moon, I'll have a good cry... that is like once every months or years. I don't understand why I would cry in my sleep, my dreams are always pleasant. I don't have nightmares or anything. She says she thought I was in pain. But if I don't cry awake, why would I cry in my sleep?
Does anyone else cry in their sleep? Or rather, been told that they cry in their sleep?

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
My Boyfriend has alot of "sleep emotions". He has bad spinal stenosis and is in constant back pain. It is a chore for him to even find a comfortable position to sleep in. When he finally does he often cries out in his sleep when he's in pain.
I think we do alot in our sleep. Have you ever woken up and felt all tense like your muscels are in knots? This happens to me too.
Don't think it's a bad thing, just our brains never shutting down.
maybe if your consciousness is not releasing the tears,your subconsciousness has to do.just a guess though...
let us know what you find out ok?
hugs
