Stressful situations bring out my worse depression and I can’t stop crying so I have to hide from my kids and not go out to social events because I ll just suddenly start crying and won’t be able to stop.

Question, do you know why you are crying, reason? If there is a reasonable reason, you should cry, all part of the healing process. If you are just crying for no reason, maybe hormonal, drug interaction, maybe a need for a physical, talk to doctor.

Btw, I cried all the time when my husband, x husband now. When we were married, he had to have brain surgery. It was a huge unknown outcome. I didn't want our children to know the severity of the surgery. So I hid my concerns, my tears from them, friends and entire family. I tried to play it down until surgery was over. Surgery was successful.

You are normal, you are okay. Lots of people google symptoms and the internet gives you all kinds of diagnosis. I too am guilty of doing that. I do the anxiety, build it into a much larger than life moment. What I have done is, if something is bothering me. I try to ignore it, unless it is a life and death matter, that is totally different, haven't really experiences that yet, eek. I'm sure with age that will change. Anyways, back to original thought. I ignore and if it doesn't go away, seems to be getting worse. Make doctor appointment, do not freak out, just go to doctor and deal with doctors diagnosis. We are not doctors, we have anxiety/depression, we need to stay away from possible triggers. Ignore symptoms, if they don't subside, make doctor appointment and no freaking out, the doctor will make diagnosis. Do not make drama, do not make anxiety, stay calm, cool and collected.

Its late at night and i'm trying to ignore them but they are just there, they started to happen over a month ago and they were very mild and only would happen at night because at night we anxious people over think but since i have searched them in google they are persistence and more intense. And now i'm shaking its hard to sleep with thag though. Tremors are in my chest back shoulders and arms.

Pick up some Melatonin, good for falling asleep or maybe some sort of tea, many sleep aid teas out there, warm milk. I toss and turn all night, I take melatonin, it helps me and when I do awake in the middle of the night, I just toss and accept I have anxiety and try to be happy with what sleep I did get, trying to look on the brighter side of things.

My marriage is failing. Will have to file for divorce this week and my father was recently in hospital. I’m already on medicine for depression

You have reason for crying. You have a lot going on, you are reacting normal. I get not wanting to cry in front of children however if it happens, just be honest and say you are very sad about what is happening and crying is a normal, healthy coping method. Too may people try to show the world we don't cry, we do. We feel happy, sad, surprised etc etc emotions. Maybe a good learning lesson. Talk to your children about emotions. We are human beings, we have emotions. I'm sorry to hear about your dad and divorce. I have lived through a divorce, you will be sad and you will get through it. There is light at the end of that tunnel. My father and mother both went through their ailments and they have passed. I hope your dad gets better. You are feeling normal feelings, crying is what you need to do. File for divorce, make sure finances are manageable, job, children, home life and everything else will fall into place. You will get through this.

Been going through that myself recently. I live alone and have no family around so it's easy for me to just let it out at home. I believe a lot of what I'm feeling now is just being lonely and the simple fact that I have to do everything by myself. I have 2 good friends I can talk to, one lives 80 miles away and the other is so busy with his family. He does stop occasionally which is nice. Last week I got my haircut and when the stylist asked how I was doing I said not so good. I had every intention of telling her what I was going through including my recent hospital stay. But right away I could feel myself choking up so I lied and said it was something else. My advice is find someone who you can open up to, even cry in front of, don't hold things in it makes it worse.
