Why Do I Feel like Crying?

I get the same way and it's not always linked to my period. Sometimes I just get worn down. Sometimes I just get tired of feeling taken for granted and like no one would miss me if I were gone. It's never over anything big. Just a whole lot of little things added up over weeks or months. Ususally my husband talks me down and I end up crying and feeling better. He helps me realize how fortunate and loved I really am.

I agree. Sometimes you just need to cry and let it out. Hope you feel better
:)

Mmm...definitely sounds hormonal. Maybe you've got a lot going on and it's taking its toll on you. When was the last time you had a good release--tears/screaming/good night's rest/whatever cleanses you? Maybe you're overdue.

sometimes we've blown things off enough that our body is ready to just rid itself in the form of emotions/crying/etc. I have bouts with it. I tend to put on a strong front but can only do it for so long......then it seems like anything will make me cry. Could be hormones too but don't just blow it off as that - keep an eye on your feelings, if it's not just 'one of those days' and it continues take it seriously and talk to a dr. Best of luck!

Yeah, I have had a mini depression day myself. Mostly during my period. That is when I am the most sensitive and self-pitying. I usually do cry it out. Then I feel better and get it together. Sometimes you need that release. I find it's healthier to get it out then keep it in.

I don't know how old you are....but my guess is it is your hormones. I used to cry all the time (I'm older now) and it wasn't just around my period time. Shoot....I used to cry at sad commericals! LOL Hang in there....it will probably pass in a couple days. Just have some chocolate and watch a good comedy tonight. P.S.Tell your husband to grow up and get off the video games....I hate those stupid things! (Sorry...I probably shouldn't have said that. But really, all night? Ridiculous)

I get like that or just incredibly irritated at EVERYTHING. I think it's hormonal bc then it'll just pass. I had this a couple of weeks ago, had an argument with my husband and a good cry and it passed. So if you can't make yourself have a good cry even though you feel like crying, watch a sad movie and really just cry for quite awhile. I think crying does release a lot of whatever is bugging us.

I've definitely been more "hormonal" since my son was born. It was never a big issue with me before. But I'll get a surge of "issues" in the week before my period and then a day of "issues" right at the tail end. My hubby just loooooves it, let me tell you.

My midwife (who functions as my OB) told me that perimenopausal symptoms begin in the mid- to late-30s and that more frequent periods and hormone-related mood swings are to be expected. Fun, right? But you might be experiencing a little of that....

Let it out! Crying is a great way for your body to release... stress, discomfort, etc. Could be this strange Michigan air too -- I have almost cried at least four times already today!

You don't need to worry about depression unless it lasts for more than two weeks.

Any chance you are stressed? I feel this way sometimes, especially when I am on the verge of exhaustion--which is pretty much a lot lately. I know I do not get enough sleep, with so much to get done and not enough time to do it plus the stress of worek and maing sure I ahve work, my stress level is pretty high. Plus dealing with a 4 yr old jealous of daddy's time with baby and the hormone's of teenagers ,my stress level lately has been prety high. And sometimes i jsut want to high-tail it to the bathroom and cry. Stress relief I guess.

I get like that every once in a while too. It stinks! I don't have any great advice. But you are not crazy and you are definitely not alone!! Hang in there. Tomorrow is a new day. :-)

OK...take a deep breath...think of something, anything that will make you smile...go get a piece of chocolate, go say hi to someone who normally makes you smile. Be happy that it's Friday, look forward to the weekend!

Yes, I do get this way...especially as I get older. It's not even that I'm sad...just more emotional! Life experience will do that. You are able to attach personal feelings to things that should not make you feel sad!

I have noticed that I also get that way right after a period too...so...more PMS only instead of Pre...it's Post! Ya know? Be aware of your cycle and take some extra vitamins. B vitamins are good for women, and fish oil is good for energy and even helping boost your mood.

Hang in there...I totally know what you mean about getting annoyed by things that should NOT annoy you! Hang in there and I hope you start to perk up and feel better soon!

Its probably a mix of hormones and being tired. Thats a scary combination! lol Dont cry, its Friday!!! :)

Even though it's been a mild winter for most of the country-I see you live in Michigan. I bet if you had a blood test for vitamin D-you would be deficient. It is so important for many reasons-but vitamin D also plays a big role in our mood. We can get sunshine and our bodies will benefit-but I imagine you have not been doing too much basking during the winter?? Check it out-and feel better!

Yes, that happens on rare occasions to me. I think it is when you suddenly feel in a rut...... it's almost boredom.

Do something different today...... just for YOU!

I am with Heather P., go in the bathroom, bedroom, living room, garage, back yard...wherever & CRY! Go 'shout it out' somewhere...throw something...spend some time getting it all out...sometimes there just isn't enough plates to break...feel better mama!
