Do you ever have a day, where you just want to sit down and cry?

Question

but you don't, because youre afraid you won't be able to stop crying?

Answer 1

Almost every day. Any sane person who is not closed to what is happening around one must experience the pain and suffering that is the lot of many today.

There is much to grieve about... if one has compassion and empathy.

But do allow yourself to grieve and do so with gusto. Deep sobs are the ticket. Grieve until you come out the other end.... which is always a sense of Peace.... which will last a while if you do not turn on the TV or read the papers.

Peace

Answer 2

Yes, I have had that feeling quite often over the last 10-15 years. I've suffered from depression since I was a child (my parents think it started when I was as young as 6 years old).

If you know there is a particular reason (for example, you've recently lost someone close to you, etc.), while it's major in your life, it could be understandable.

If you feel like you could sit down and cry for hours for no reason, or that there would be no end to your grief, and it's all for a reason you're unaware of, you should go to your physician, school counselor, a psychiatrist or psychologist and you may be diagnosed with depression or another emotional illness. There is NOTHING wrong with acknowledging that you have depression or that you need help and getting medical attention for it. Think of it this way: no one would suggest you not get help if you had diebetes, asthma or any other physical illness.

Even if there is a reason for your feeling this way (something major and traumatic has happened in your life), you would probably benefit by talking to someone, and depending on what they think, treatment through counseling, medication, or a combination of both, the transition can be made easier.

Answer 3

Yes, to often lately. Are you havin that day? Look at you question again---where you just want to sit down and cry? Key words --YOU JUST WANT TO-- you should do for yourself, so if it is a good cry, Go ahead! Do not ever be afraid of your own feelings, c'mon let those emotions drain. You will be able to stop at some point. Ya know that really hilarious thing you saw or heard that ya almost peed your pants from laughin so hard, just like that eventually it wears off. JUST BREATHE
A joke would help stop the sad tears..
GOOD DAY TO YA!

Answer 4

We all have those days... It is normal to feel like that once in a while... I never suppress it, I just let it out... It is not a weakness, after a good cry I feel stronger and know that what ever it was I can deal and move forward knowing strength comes from within and crying is a way of letting out the anxiety, frustration, and pain releasing it and allowing room for clearer thoughts and a more level way of thinking...
Too many people, society have made it seem as a weakness but in truth it is strengthening, even cleansing to your soul...
Fear is what will hold you down... We should only fear a few things in life and crying is not one of them...
Feeling pain is part of our growth and to never have felt all the pain I have felt would not make me who I am today... So I embrace the times I have been dealt weather by choices poorly made or that of the simple fact of life...
Breathe deep and release it and know that you are not alone.... And you are very normal... ♥
Now I hope you smile and take to heart, have faith in yourself and don't be afraid to show feelings... ♥

Answer 5

You need to just cry. I do when it's needed. You may cry for a while...but it will stop. And when it does..you can move on. If you don't feel better after, then it may be clinical depression. In that case...you need to visit your doctor and get a medication to help you with depression.
If there is a reason you are sad (a death or a break up) the only thing that will make that better is time. You'll have to let time pass....but it's ok to cry about it if and when you need to.

Answer 6

My son got sick when he was 5 months, and after he was admitted to hospital, I cried that first night. But for the next 5 years I wouldn't let myself cry about it because I felt like if I did, I wouldn't be able to stop and it would lead to a nervous breakdown (and I couldn't have that because my son needed me: dr appts, therapy, surgery, hospital visits). Now, my son passed away in May of this year, and I feel like this every waking moment, but I still won't let it out because I have a 2 year old that I am responsible for. When is it gonna be my turn to breakdown?!?!?!

Answer 7

Yes at least once a month before my cycle when my hormones are all over the place. but also at times when i seem to have done a lot and achieved too little for my efforts. When i do my best and everyone seems to want so much more. When i achieve high and no one sees it or recognises it... crying is therapeutic, it may feel like you will never stop but you will and when its all over and done you will feel better and stronger and more ready to face the world.

Answer 8

No, I just wait until I know I can have a good long cry and let it rip. I find I can't stop myself from crying ever since my mother died (almost 8 years ago). Before that I never cried (no joke, I actually used to get blocked tear ducts because there was no flow!)

It's good to cry when you are ready to settle in to bed. No one to bother you and you'll eventually fall asleep!

Answer 9

Been there, avoided the crying, done that. It stinks to go thru a day feeling like this. A rotten feeling like this can be survived, though. Keep telling yourself "let me accomplish this task & I can whatever (have a snack)." Keep assigning yourself these tasks & rewards until you get home where you can promptly get in bed, throw the covers over your head & let it all out.

Answer 10

Yes. When a very close friend of mine died 4 sum reson it did not bother me that much but now I think about it some times and I just want to go back to when he was alive. But the good thing is that I know that he is in Heaven with Christ and looking after ne right with Jesus. and has many crowns of greatnes for good deeds.
