Make the crying stop
not too often.. do you know why you may be crying.. happy..?? sad.. ?? anxiety.. ?? I would say just go with it.. try and find the reason and work it out. But if you find you just can't get any control.. then discuss with your doctor.. maybe hormone imbalance. I know my mom was crying alot recently, but us kids (me and my sister) gave her a reason too I had to fix that.. and now I think she's better.
You're going through a lot of things right now; waiting on approval, BF far away, etc. It could very easily cause the blues. Figure out what is the primary thing causing the tears. Then cry and get it out of your life if you can. If you can't, then cry and go on with what you have.
Personally, wellbutrin, lexapro, and xanax have worked well. I still cry at movies, bad times, etc. But, not like the idiot I used to act like.
I am late on the advice as everyone else gave you wonderful advice....but just so you know....I am with you....I do it off and on and have to get my mind occupied on other things, happy things, things to look forward to and I spend more and more time praying....crying does help me sometimes....although today I cried and cried after releasing my last hug good bye to Nate today....the pain does not go away....we talked tonight that we have to work hard to be in the same city soon and it will help us both...so figuring out what it is making you sad, happy, etc...helps so you know what to focus your energy on....and like Jen said, we are here to listen....we have been there and are here for you...
hang in there mandy!
Hi Amanda,
Yep, I get that way. Sometimes......I just cry. It's good to cry. It's good to feel emotion and just let it out. Bottling up our emotions is not good for us....that's when we start letting our emotions manifest in different ways. For me, for years I didn't show emotions and instead I ate my way up to 441 lbs. Now I see that it's okay to cry. It's okay to feel.
BUT! If you feel comletely overwhelmed....like you just can't snap out of it. Like it's just more than you can handle...then you need to see a doctor. Depression is not something that can always be handled alone. There is 'feeling blue' once in a while and then there is clinical depression that requires medical intervention. If you're not sure which you are......talk to your doctor.
Take care of yourself,
Chris
