Tired of crying

[Blank72]

Does anyone just get tired of the crying all the time. I'm just going through another bout of the major lows and almost anything and everything can trigger a crying episode. Which sucks when you're at work. Most of my family thinks I'm a rock and don't cry and anything so it actually scared them last summer when I cried for nearly every day for 3 weeks straight. I'm so overwhelmed with life right now. I had to accept that my career was done when that episode happened last year. It was 1000% a mental health crisis. I probably should have gone to the hospital and got treatment , but I'm stubborn amd prideful, and also not sure they would even help. It's too much to unload in just this post. To be clear I'm not suicidal, like I have no intentions of hurting myself. Would I be upset if some freak accident took care of it all....no. All I know is I'm sooo tired, especially of crying.

Hi

I had the same feeling of tireness. I could not speak on the phone or see anyone , cause it was triggering me .Even in the supermarket , or in the street , I was crying everywhere, all the time. And I went out only in daytime where I could hide my eyes with sunglasses. Everything was a cause of cry. My veins in my fronthead hurt. ( I live alone and I am actually unemployed , so I wasn't obliged to be around people for the most, but isolation is awfull too).

After a long period that we have tried several drugs with a psychiatrist , I quit all drugs cause they made me feel like , trapped alive in an immovable body . Plus that had a great effect to my thyroid glande-I have hashimoto- that worked even slower.

Then I had these period of unstopable crying that I described. And now, just some days ago , I started to feel better , with another drug I'm taking, that made me stop crying yet it didn't suck my energy.

I believe crying is like a cry(shouting) for help, a need that we cannot fully articulate or fulfill. Or a need we neglect by trying to be strong.

You can speak to a professional psychologist if you don't want to take drugs. Of course is up to you. I believe talking about your feelings with a professionnal can confort you in a level.

I'm sending you courage and faith 🤍

I cry a lot too. Really don't seem to be able to regulate it. Been like this for nearly 3 years now.

God bless you. I am praying. Years ago I went through this. Now on rxs for depression, panic attacks. It did stop the crying. And I went for therapy. Found God again.

I am also 51. I am also crying all the time. I can't seem to work anymore without having crying spells or panic attacks. You are not alone.

I thought I was finally going to stop.... but it just started all over again. The only meds that seemed to work, I can't afford. I'm finally on insurance at my new job so I'm trying to get in to see a new doctor. It's hard because I've moved to a new area, and so many doctors aren't accepting new patients.

I am with you on this 100%... I am so tired of crying sometimes it feels like I cannot even cry anymore and like I am internalizing all my feelings. Crying gives me some sort of release but when you do a lot of it, it is SO draining for the body. I am sorry you are dealing with this but just know there are others going through it and I wish you the best of luck
