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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
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
