Excessive Crying, Irritability... Is This a Problem? Posted: 10-07-07 23:49pm
I'm not sure who to talk to about this...
It hasn't been going on very long,
relatively, but it worries me. The past
few weeks (I'd say about three), I have
been crying almost every day and if not
crying, then at least upset enough about
something that I will dwell on it for
awhile. But the things that upset me are
little things. I've always cried what I
considered to be a healthy amount... once
in awhile or when something's actually
wrong. This is starting to scare me. I
also have been really short with people...
I don't show it outwardly all of the time,
but I'm always mad at them inside,
building a case in my head of all the
things they're doing wrong.
Sometimes I feel better. This past week, I
said to myself on Monday, "This is
enough," and I was actually okay for four
days. Not upset about anything, didn't
cry. It just seems to come back when
something small, anything, doesn't go my
way.
I don't feel like I'm depressed, but I
don't know. I don't have feelings of
hopelessness about myself or the future. I
never feel like my stress makes life not
worth it. I just get extremely upset about
some stupid thing and cry. I wondered if
maybe it was related to my birth control
pills, but I have been taking them since
March of this past year (seven months) and
have never had a problem.
I'd appreciate it if anyone has any
ideas... is it normal to be crying this
much?

Well, if you think it's the BC pills, then
you should see your GP, maybe he can give
you a different perscription. If you are
a teenager, this is normal. In general
this could be either be 1. you're
pregnant? 2. serious PMS 3. Just need a
cry. or 4. Need to speak to somebody. Do
you have a mum? How is your relationship
with your mum? Talk to her. I know it
sounds awkward, but she was young too.
She might have some good advice for you.
Mums the word.
Me, I say get outside and do some
excercise. This produces somes happy
hormones. (Chocolates too)
Take care!

Thanks for replying. I think it would be
good to talk to somebody. I don't have the
greatest relationship with my mom, but I
can talk to my dad and my closest friends.
I'll try exercising more too. Thanks.
