rare that something makes me happy. I will cry and cry for no reason at all and everything anyone says or does I take to heart. I get so upset that I get physically ill and throw up. There has been a lot going on in my life (I found out I was pregnant in June and moved in with my boyfriend, only to miscarry in July. I am a full time student and also work, I have gotten into a car accident, and me and my boyfriend have been rocky.) I know this is all stressful but isn't reacting this way a little severe? After all, that is life and I should be able to control my emotions. Like 3 weeks ago I snapped out of it and have been fine! Then all of a sudden I feel so down again. A lot of it seems to happen when me and my boyfriend have troubles, but it is not even anything so serious. How can I stop overreacting to everything, and what is going on with me? I have also been very negative and moody. It is so draining, please help!

This is serious.... i know exactly what you are going through and it sucks. One way i try to help myself is taking some time off for myself. really sitting down and reevaluating what is making me upset and what i can do about it. With your b/f, what is causing these fights? has the miscarriage caused a huge rift in your relationship? Can you go on? Is it you that might be causing these fights between you and your b/f? If you find yourself with no solutions to any of these questions or not being able to snap out of this funk, maybe its time you went and tried to get some help. Dont be ashamed of it. If you are a student, there may be an advisor or counsellor you can talk to for free. find some time for yourself. Life is stressful. you don't have to do it alone. :) There are people who care for you whether you know it or not.

It can also be that we are entering the winter season blues which does not help your sadness. Go see your family doctor anywayz and ask about Buspar for your stress and anxiety. It worked wonders for my chemical imbalance and leveled off my stressful mood swings. It has a few side effects, but they go away after a month or two.

You're going through a lot and the best way for you to work through the rough patch is to talk it through with a therapist or psychologist. They will give you tips on how to mentally work through the things that are getting you down and how to get yourself through a rough day.
Please do not go straight to a psychiatrist and ask for a prescription. Pills will work on the direct chemical imbalance, but if you don't work through the issues that are causing the chemical imbalance, this problem will continue on and on and you could be on antidepressants for years.

sounds to me like its a chemical imbalance in your brain...not enough serotonin being released, or your endorphins aren't being released,you need to see a professional and talk to them about it... i was on medication for a couple of years, but now I'm not anymore.... so the only advice is go talk to someone that's a professional
