Crying Spells
Gang, today was a bad day. I woke up anxious (mornings in general are rotten for me) -- and kinda was that way all day. At lunch at went to me car and listened to a relaxation tape. Seemed to help -- however, toward the afternoon became anxious again. When I drove him through traffic I kept thinking if I'll ever get back to the person I was before all this occurred? I kept replaying this in my mind -- dwelling on the negative -- to the point that I just started crying and could not stop. It must have gone on for an hour or so. So, I'm curious -- does this happen to any of you. Thanks!
PS -- How do we stop this if it starts?
PPS -- I'm currently not taking an SSRI and am seriously considering now. I take an Ativan when needed -- but typicaly that is not very often -- as I don't want to get addicted to the drug.

Hi Shannon,
I know exactly how you feel. I cry almost every day. I've had my mother tell me to "Stop crying," and she doesn't understand that I can't just turn it off. It's like asking someone to stop breathing. I cry when I think about situations I've gotten myself into, or people that I've lost. My family, and I mean my whole family is moving to Nevada in a few months and I will be in Cali by myself. I am deadly afraid, and I cry about that because I feel scared. I suffer from major anxiety disorder and I've had this since I was a child. I did a very good job masking it for a long time, and then I got sick and had to have surgery, and after that, things haven't been the same. I remember being happy as a preteen and teen, and I was happy in college. I think way too much, and I need to lighten up, but it's hard for me. I know what you're going through and it's horrible. No one understands you, and if you're a professional working woman and you cry at your desk, be prepared for people to think that you have major turmoil in your life.

well it could be you just need time or you need different meds or adjustments on your meds. Or if your going through menopause that can be like a rollercoaster ride. Hope this helps
