Crying

[capricorn]

All I do is cry........why? I have no idea.....I get up every morning and cry......I thought it was because Bill sleeps later and I am alone...No, No! he got up before me this morning and I gav ehim my hour of crying....everything makes me cry......any ideas?


My grandaughter went to the Chiro with her mother yesterday....she has a twisted pelvis....that's what is causing the pain....he will work on her very gently ..with massage so he can get it back into place and she will be just fine...

aw Cap. Those tears are a release of stress and pain. Think back what you have been through, and continue to experience....now you know where the tears are coming from. Your life has been a tough one for quite some time.

Another problem could be the dreaded word....menopause.
I don't know your age, but being female , signs of this can hit at a range of ages (young to older). I bawl all the time, or extremely easy, too it seems. Mine I believe to be menopausal symptoms. I do take HP....but I don't think they are strong enough for me now. You may want to ask your MD to ck you out and see where you are in the hormone levels.

Do you presently take any depression or anxiety meds? If you do, possibly you need a different brand or higher dosage. If not....you may well need something to mellow you out. It does help immensely...i would be a raving mess without the anxiety meds and HP....believe me!

((Hugs to you)) Lilly.
PS...Get some sunshine!

Cap I can understand this.

You and Bill have recently con thru some major health care challenges.

Then there has been the recent anniversay date of your daughter's death.

Try getting out of the house and doing something different.

Cappy,menopause will do it for sure so will depression.....I bawled every morn for awhile when it was normally time to go to work and relized I would never work again...you have to find a purpose to get up again.....thank God for my little kids or I wouldnt bother......I do not know what you like to do but our school is always looking for volunteers to sit one on one and help kids learn to read.....our libary also has a program to help adults learn to read and they beg for volunteers......our hospital also begs for volunteers.....or maybe you could learn a new craft Sithie is always calling me with her new craft ideas.....you have to have a reason to get up or you will get depressed quick....find a reason girly..

sounds like a major depressive episode. you need professional treatment; it's not something you can just get over or treat yourself. contact your doctor for a referal.
prolonged pain and/or radical changes in lifestyle often throw the emotional controls out of balance. if left untreated too long it can become chronic and very resistive to help.

First let me say thank you 1171 for caring enough to answer.....I have recurrant major depressive disorder and PTSD.....well documented....I have a great counselor , psychiatric nurse, and PCP....all are aware...have been in contact with each of them.....am on Cymbalta and Klonopin. Just wanted you to know that I am well protected. xo P.S. Heard back from my counselor...appt. on Friday.

All believe it's what I have been through and now that Bill is in remission again, my diabetes is finally under control that it is a release..so Lilly...I have had my Klonopin upped for the time being.....I will cry when I do......been totally done with menopause for about 4 years Bummer....I still see myself as super woman and haven't accepted yet that I'm not anymore;)will try though.....JAyne ...you're dead on...when I wake early in the morning it's the time I would get up, hop in the shower and go to a job I loved....It's much different for me if I sleep a little later....but I'm having trouble sleeping too....Grandma......going next weekend ..just for the weekend but you're right ...we both need to get the H$$$ out of here , away from the phone, Drs, ect. and regroup......I have a few groups that I will call when we get back to see what I can get my hands involved in....not too much open for volunteering around here right now......have never had a hobby .....all I've done is raise kids and work....Gonna take a class in politics....

Love you all.....Angel

Cap, I also think that you have had to be strong during all of your husbands' and other family members major medical issues lately. You have the type of personality that you feel you have to be the one to keep life in order to make it easier for everyone else. Well, now that things are calming down some, you are relaxing and are able to release all those emotions that you felt you had to hold in. There is nothing wrong with crying.

However, I do agree with 1171 that you should have some counseling to help you thru this.

Take care

CC...I'm not used to this......I have always been the strong one and don't think I can or want to be anymore.....since retiring I kind of want to be left alone and go at my own pace.....I understand the tears being a release and agree with all on that....


I have an appt. with my counselor of many years on Friday....She has counseled my PTSD and depression.....I don't suffer too often with depression but boy when my PTSD is triggered it could take months.....everyone knows my daughter passed 12 years ago....her 34th birthday was the first......early December a young woman who grew up like my own lost her 18 year old son to a tragic accident.....that was my trigger.....I never wanted any of the kids to feel the pain I feel.....it is still hanging on me and with everything else going on.....I think upping my Benzos will help....I fight taking meds like Bummer does....

Thanks for all the caring....I need the support more than ever right now.

Cap glad to read you are going to talk with a counselor. I noticed in the past few months that I can start crying for no peticular reason and have had some wierd mood swings. It seems to happen when my pain is at it's worst, or PT didn't go well ect. Talked to my Dr. and she had me see a counselor. Nothing wrong with talking it out with someone, and this person sounds like you trust them, even better. Wish you the best.
