i'm crying for no reason?

Question

Its been about 3 weeks that I have been overly emotional. It would usually take a lot to get me to cry. The past few weeks the smallest thing makes me cry. Example: I am not a big person but then i am not a skinny toothpick either, today I was watching teh Tyra Banks show and it was dealing with women who have low self esteem and one girl was crying because she feels fat etc-- i bursted out in tears. Last night I was laying in bed and just started crying. My boyfriend is home for a week and then goes to work for a week so maybe could this be part of it? I hate being like this, its just not me. Any info ill be willing to take-- Thanks

This condition can be caused by several factors. One of them is lack of physical activities.
I was in the same condition as you are when I went through divorce, just an emotional wreck. The only thing that got me out of there is gym and my friends who dragged my butt in there every morning.
You need to make little changes in your lifestyle. Don't watch TV, go outside, enjoy sunshine. Sun will help to release a hormon that responsible for our happiness.
If you will go to the doctor the first thing he will do is put you on antidepressants. You don't need that.

Only daily exercise can keep you physicaly strong and mentaly awake for many years. And it's not just look but much more. :)

I am a personal fitness trainer and enjoy helping people like you every day. :)
Here are basic recommendations that you can start with.

Food as Fuel:

Going without breakfast because you planning a big dinner is as silly as filling up your car's gas tank after you finish the trip. Eat all of the foods that are good for you; all of the grains, vegetables, fruites and lean proteins that you enjoy. Eat 6 small meals a day. Eating smaller meals more often will help to speed up your metabolism. Missing meals slow your metabolism. Also chew your food at least 30-40 times every time you take a bite. This will slow down your meal time and it easier to digest your food.

Hunger can stress the body and trigger the release of cotisol, a hormone that encourages the storage of fat in the abdomen. To keep hunger under control, split your meals and snacks into 5 or 6 minimeals.

Water - Drink TONS of water!

If you add 2-3 liters of water to you diet you will feel better - PROMISE. You will have to use the restroom often, BUT you will feel less bloated, and retain less water IF you add water to your diet. Men who are overweight should add up to galon of water a day. Sip throgh out the day for best result.

Your Body Needs Daily Exercise.

The only way to be fit is to exercise on the regular basis: daily if possible. Some benefits of daily exercise are: you don't get sick as often, you have more energy and you sleep better. Exercise doesn't have to be structured.
If it is something you enjoy doing, you'll look forward to it. Walking or riding a bike with your friends is fun. Even though it may only be a couple of miles, it is something.
If you aren't looking forward to your next workout, do something else. Walking is probably one of the best fat burning exercises you can do - just walk more!

Start weight lifting program. If you are absolutely unexperience in it you can ask a personal fitness trainer at the gym for a free orientation or write an email to me at [e-mail], I will write you a program. :)

Have Realistic Expectations

I promise you will feel better, get more fit and reach a higher level of satisfaction by starting slowly and expecting moderate weight and measurement changes.
Think within longer time frames, and a pound or two on a scale won't seam so important.

In your case you need to tone your muscles. Don't step on the scale. You will start to gain muscle and loose fat in the same time. Muscles weight more than fat. :)

Cross-Training

Every few weeks plan a change in your routine. Note only will your mind be more challenged, your body will have to adapt and the body will benefit from the new stimuli. The body is an amazing adaptable machine. It will begin to burn less fat as an energy source for the same activity if you don't change your programe regularly.

Get 7 to 8 hours of shut-eye a night

Chronic sleep deprivation can raise cortisol levels. It can also drive down levels of the appetite-control hormone leptin, making you feel hungry.

Laugh more

Here's a tactic anyone can stick with! In a study conducted at Loma Linda University, men and women who watched a humorous video had 30% less cortisol in their blood not only while watching the tape but also up to 24 hours later.

If you won't see any changes for about a month or so, go see a doc and ask to check your tyroid. Sometimes this gland can put you in a mood swings and sad mood.

I hope this will help. Email me if you have any questions

Good luck

Answer 2

Has your boyfriend's schedule only recently changed?

One big thing you need to be conscious of right now is the depression that goes along with winter. Yes, it really happens.
Due to lack of sunlight from staying in the house, plus the shorter days giving less light, your circadian rhythms are off, and you might not be making enough vitamin D if you haven't been out in the sun.

Get out in the sun. Open your windows and let the sun in as soon as it rises in the morning. Make sure you have bright light in your house until 6pm.

Second, perhaps it is hormonal?

Third....it could be plain old depression. First try excercising. Nothing spectacular. Go out and take a walk in the cold sunny weather, or walk up and down the stairs 10 times in your house.
Excercise creates natural endorphins that make you feel elated.

Don't worry. It doesn't hurt to cry either. Maybe you are coming down with a cold....I know I always get whiny and whimpery right before I get sick.

Answer 3

I had the same problem recently. Things in life got really stressful and I bought a condo and had to move and the move really did it. It put me over the edge. I cried for 3 days straight for nothing. Finally, after the 3rd day I decided to get help. I knew that I wasn't myself and I'd actually had episodes like this before but there was something I felt was different.

I work in downtown Chicago in the heart of hospital land aftering being at work (the day after thanksgiving) and crying all day at my desk a co-worker suggested that I go to EMH and get something to help me so first I called because I didn't want to be held up in the emergency room all day and we were scheduled to go to my brothers that evening.

I was put in a special room with people that were like me (suicidle) a few people came and talked to me. I still could not stop crying. Normally when I had episodes like this, I would be okay after talking to someone but this time didn't help.

After 5 hours they told me they were going to admit me. If I didn't sign the papers they would put me in against my will. I had no energy to fight this so I signed.

9 hours after entering the hospital I was taken up to the psych ward. I had had a nervous breakdown. There I was given lots of therapy for depression, medication for depression and anxiety and a mood stabilizer to stop the crying along with 2 types of sleeping pills because I wasn't sleeping (a problem I'd had for the past year. I was in this place for a 1 of the longest weeks of my life. If you want to know more about this then email me.

The reason I tell you this is that I wouldn't want to see anyone going through something like this. You are put amongst people that have serious mental illnesses. You see things that you have only heard about or seen on TV.

Go to your Dr. and get something. The longer you let it go the more fragile you seem to become. And keep in mind, most of the pills given take about 6 weeks to work so you won't feel good right away.

Answer 4

Ahh - you're changing. You are experiencing life changes right now and they are overwhelming.

1. MAke a "what's bugging me list". Yes, write down every name you've been called, what you hate, where you feel stuck and how you don't like certain things.

2. Make a list of what you want out of life.

3. Take the what's bugging me list - and tear it up and throw it out. It makes you face what's happening inside. Do this everytime you feel "stuck" in a situation.
You have emotions and can face what's going on inside.

4. When you realize that you at times will change, and that spiritual growth - as Oprah admitted - happens when you check your INTENTION. What is behind what you are saying or trying to say?

GOD bless us one and all, always
