i don't think there's anything wrong with you.....sometimes i just break down at times....it happens from time to time to me......when that happens though i try to pinpoint why i'm crying and if i can't find a trigger/reason i let myself cry for a little bit and then try to self soothe myself and bump up my self care.....like i'll make my favorite meal and take a bubble bath or take a nap or something.....that'd be my advice....kind of bump up your self care and just self soothe yourself as best as you can in the situation you're in at that time

I agree with valgal18, I'm often doing things and I'll just breakdown. It's normally a problem that I haven't dealt with and it's building up inside of me.

Nothing is wrong with you. Sometimes we stay so strong for so long, that when our minds can no longer handle holding it all in it all comes out at once.
Crying is a good thing, but can suck at the wrong times. Try watching sad or moving movies that will help release that in a controlled setting vs having a breakdown when it becomes all too much. :)
