Crying crying crying...

I had anxious last 2 months, health worries etc. I had panic attacks and churning stomach, lost appetite and weight. I got a good medication for anxiety from my psychiatrist so anxiety is now sort of in control. But that crying spells are just overwhelming. I cry because i love my family, i cry because i feel helpless and useless and i cry for nothing sometimes. Is it depression? My mood is of course lower than normal but i dont have bad concentration, poor sleep etc. Can depression present just with crying spells?And om already on Prozac so why is it not protecting me from low moods?

There are many symptoms of depression if you look it up. I'd talk to your psychiatrist about it, they might have suggestions on what could help.

Maybe the prozac isn't working for you, could you ask for something else?

It sounds like the ugly depression, although I am no Dr. Maybe you need a different medicine. I would for sure call your Dr. There is help for you. Keep up the good fight for you. I wish for you a peaceful mind. Love, light, joy & hugs for you!

Thanks for your responses. As a hypochondriac i of course worry that if Prozac didnt help then nothing will 😢 Or maybe that depression is a symptom (for example brain tumour or other serious disease). Silly thinking i know, i should use my cbt skills to correct this thinking. I am seeing my doctor this weekend. Let’s see what alternatives there are. Sending love back to you all too 🌷

Oh believe me there is help but when you have this disease it's so difficult to see the light. I really wish for you all the best. Give yourself a treat today, sounds like you deserve it. Love, peace, light, joy & hugs for you!

Hi mags78, I spent years crying. I couldn't speak w/o sobbing. Some people would get

upset with me but I wasn't doing it on purpose. I WAS NOT depressed but so overwhelmingly frightened with Anxiety that the tears would just roll down my cheeks.

Sometimes, the fear(s) we have are so totally buried that they have no other way to come

out except in tears. That's our release for the time. It does and it did go away. Addressing

the situational issues around you and finding a way to go forward can be the "key".

My tears stopped one day just as fast as they had come on.

As I said, I wasn't depressed, I wasn't even sad, but scared to death.

Once I got a handle on my issues and was able to relax and accept them as not

dangerous, the tears abated. :) xx
