Does anyone find that

Hello every one

Just wondered if you find that you cry for no reason

I don't feel depressed although I don't feel well,

Some times I cry when some one says things to

Me.

Some times at night or going to bed does this happen

Because we get so very tired, in the 5 years I have had fibro

I have not experienced this.

Yes Vivien it was a surprise to me. I remember I cried as a child but when I had my children it was just a natural thing not to cry (hereditary thing kids have to believe mum will make it better). I didn't even cry when my dad died because I knew he wouldn't want it.

NOW! When I least expect it the tears are running down my face. I let them, it is like a pressure valve.

Its makes me very embarrassed, at my age

I don't mind so much at home but at work it's

Different, I'm not having a flare, but I don't feel

Well that I think is because I keep crying thank

You for your reply.

Do you think we have a build up of medication

In our systems, when I read things about fibro

And it always states depression I think rubbish

I don't get depressed never have and I have excepted

I have fibro.

But is this depression or just part of this B.... Thing

Thank you

Tell me about it...I have been crying at least once a day lately

but mine is for a reason..My body feels so much better these days

If the tension is there, crying heals it and then i get in a better mood.

To be honest Vivien I think I have a build up of years of tears to shed lol

[Julie63 in reply to Izumi]

I agree with you Doormat - I can keep a lid on my tears while I am with the kids for example, as I don't want to upset or worry them. But, like you say, there's a lot of built up tears waiting to burst the dam. Often, it just gets too much & I could be doing something normal, like reading the paper & I feel the tears welling up. If I'm on my own, I just let them out. If I'm in company, though, it can be hard trying to get somewhere quiet & private so that I can let the tears flow.

Hugs,

I did too...I didn't even cry in Sept. when my sister died.

Just about 3 weeks ago, I cried so hard that I was actually

dehydrated..I didnt' eat or drink while I was sobbing and

suddenly I really felt a change in myself..I cry for a reason

but it can be a good thing (happy tears) or a bad thing (sad tears)

but my very favorite one is laughing tears....=)

I have to agree, I sometimes think I'm not depressed, but then the tears flow and I think depression is a part of Fibro, maybe not the main part, but I do think everyone who has Fibro does suffer to a greater or lesser degree from depression. It is no wonder though, with everything that we have to cope with on a daily basis. I also think that it is better to let your emotion out, rather than bottle it up, ok, maybe the workplace isn't the place to let the tears flow, it is necessary at some point to let them out.

Sending you positive healing vibes

Hi,

I manage to keep it under wraps when I am with people but when I am on my own I do cry, and for no reason I can really put my finger on.

Hugs

Hi

For some reason, whenever I see a doc, be it GP or rheumatologist, or ortho, I cry like mad. It is so embarrassing and I always say I'm not usually like this, meanwhile they are handing over the box of tissues!

I also cry at the RSPCA adverts, we rescued a dog from the Dog's Trust who was a nervous wreck, so this brings it all back.

What makes you happy again?

Xx

[Hidden]

Thank you all so much it's nice to think that I'm not alone

And it's fibro,

Take care all of you and be as pain free as you are able xxx

[Cookie72]

Hi, Vivienne, yes that happens to me I rarely let it be known that I m crying, I have read and my doc has told me that depression is a symptom of fibro, not nice sometimes but just cry at the silliest little things ......Dee xxx

[Hidden in reply to Cookie72]

I was swimming in depression until my hero showed me

what I looked like to the world and to myself...it wasn't pretty

so what I did go is make peace with the past events, myself

and I wanted to shape up my behaviors, use different words..

I am working on doing something just for myself everyday...

I think that depression just pops up when we have too much

garbage inside of brain..so out went the junk and now my life

begins..it sure is a better, more thoughtful person...Karen xx

Hi Vivien60

Yes oh yes! I am new on the forum only joined yesterday as I was only diagnosed nearly a month ago. I was just replying to all those who contacted me and was saying that I can now cry over the slightest and silliest thing. I used to be a really strong person and would never cry (apart from bereavements). Now the flood gates open up when watching TV or reading a book etc. Try not to feel embarrassed though. Take a differing slant on this scenario. You have a gift, you possess a greater insight and depth of empathy for the suffering of those around you. If you can express your feelings upon watching a sad film whereby somebody is in pain then you are the better person! You have the emotional stability to care and understand.

Never forget that you are the most special person in the whole world to those in your life who love you. Please do not feel embarrassed.

beautiful Answer Vivien..hey, what's the book that you are holding onto?

[TheAuthor in reply to Hidden]

Hi Yikes

Thank you for your kind words. Its a really old photo where I am holding four books. It was taken during a much better time in my life. I had just been invited to take part in a well known SKY TV show (as a parapsychologist) and the Daily Telegraph newspaper asked for an interview and they took the photo. That same day I went along to BBC Radio Derby in my home town and gave an interview there. It feels like a lifetime ago. In better days I was a prolific author and had three best sellers. I haven't stopped writing to this day and I have a new book to be published next summer. Thank you for asking my books mean so much to me.

[Cookie72]

Lovely Vivien and so so true....what sort of book do you write.....Dee x

[TheAuthor in reply to Cookie72]

Hi Cookie72

Thank you thank you for your kind words. I started off writing about the occult and paranormal as I have a great fascination for ghosts, myths and mystical legends. I went on to write paranormal fiction. In between I wrote two books on philosophy and modernity. Thank you for asking about my books as they really mean so much to me.

[fibro]

I have been like this all my life. Never actually put it down to anything at the time, but i was born with a disability and couldn't keep up with the other kids, even being bullied, ypu were taught that its a fact of life and just get on with it! So no in my fifties its only on places like this will i open up a bit, but still not fully because thats the way things wete, no one really wanted to listen.

Plus i put it down to being born on a wednesday..... Wednesday's child was full of woe! I will just have to blame how i am on whoever wrote that poem!!!

Hi Fibro

I read your blog with a heavy heart. It is a sad and painful fact that there is a great darkness in our world and it is the darkness of the human soul. We live in a world of plenty but so many are devoid of the basics. This logic and reasoning continues away from the material and into the ethereal world of life, love, friendship and compassion. However, I believe with every fibre of my very being that this online community is special. I have only been apart of it for a couple of days but I have received messages of warmth, love and kinship from people whom I have never met and would never dream of hurting me. I believe that all of life is broken down into just three moments. Moments of transition, moments of revelation and moments of joy. You have already made the transition by sending in your blog. the revelation will come when you see that you are surrounded by caring and compassionate people here and this will lead to joy and the circle will be complete. You have proved yourself a brave, worthwhile and noble person. You have received so many kicks in your life but you were still able to reach out here. Your past experiences would lead you believe that would be risky for you, as you may have been rejected here too; but you weren't! And never will be! If you ever want a friend, someone to contact and talk to - Mail me. When I am online I will answer. You have made a friend today.
