Sometimes when I get upset, I can't stop crying or thinking about something that will make me cry?

Question

This has been getting worse over the past 2 yrs. I get upset over something stupid and I start to cry and almost hyperventilate and after that, I can't stop crying even when I'm not upset anymore. It's like my mind wanders until it can find something else to cry about. This can last btwn 30min to 3hrs and my brain is so focused on being upset that I can't do anything else except be upset.

It's getting so frustrating because it seems to be happening all of the time. People just tell to "think of something else" or dismiss it like I'm exaggerating but I'm not - I just physically can't stop and just wanting to stop crying and not being able to makes it worse.

Or sometimes I will wake up and my mind will just be full of unwanted thoughts and it will make me upset the entire day. Or like now, I'm trying to go to sleep but suddenly all of these upsetting thoughts popped into my head and I know it'll just get worse if I turn out the lights and try to sleep.

Answer 2

it's pretty obvious you are carrying around a great deal of emotional baggage that you should get rid of. Of course, no one out there seems to know how to tell you to do that. But, I have engaged in a program called the inner search, and it helped me to unload all my emotional baggage, so I no longer have the crying jags and emotional roller coasters you are experiencing. It involves a bit of work on your part to rid yourself of all that baggage, but if you are willing to do the work, I can tell you were to learn more about the program. email me.
