MO MO!!!!
You are not alone, I get that alot. Like I will be in the middle of a conversation or just watching TV and I have to literally fight off crying, I don't even have a reason . If I let myself I would cry all of the time. I often wonder if it is a little depression or just stress?? I am unsure but I do know that you are not alone!!
Love ya,
Chrystal
CRY BABY!

Dear MO:
Sweetie, you are not & never was or will be alone. You see, God gave you EARTH'S ANGELS, as I call them. What are they? EARTH'S ANGELS are angels on earth = friends - just w/o the wings. They are an ans to a prayer if you will. Mo, no man/woman is an island alone. Meaning, @ 1 point, we all have needed or need help/love/support. Like the song: "LEAN ON ME, WHEN YOU'RE NOT STRONG & I'LL BE YOUR FRIEND, I'LL HELP YOU TO CARRY ON - FOR, IT WON'T BE LONG, TILL I'M GONNA NEED SOMEBODY TO LEAN ON". I have met some of the most generous & greatest group of people here @ StressCenter.com. It was absolutely comforting to know, "THEY HAD MY BACK" - we have yours MO!
Mo, recovery is a journey - not a DO IT AS QUICK AS YOU CAN MARATHON RUNNING RACE. It doesn't matter how long you've had the program - just that you HAVE IT. It matters that you are keeping at it & starting week 7 - FANTASTIC BABY - ^^^^^^^^5!!!!! No pressure, take your time - remember, YOU - MO & YOUR RECOVERY are like a fine wine - getting better & better.
Mo, let me tell you something about me. Girl, lol, I have always been a sensative gal - I cried & cry if the wind blows the wrong way - honest. I cry if you cry, I cry in that ONE SCENE IN A MOVIE - I'm sensative & thats a good thing. Now, for me - I have recovered fr anxiety disorder: mine triggered in Apr-2005. Currently, I am experiencing Depress for the 1st time in my life - I'm 39yrs old. I went back to therapy & I'm on a med. NO big deal - it means, my heart/soul/spirit are healing & the TEARS I cry - are God's way helping me CLEANSE MY SOUL. Sure, there are times where I'll feel like I had a crying marathon = for no particular reason. I know its the depress. I'll allow myself to feel what I need to - taking care not to let it get the best of me. How? I reach out here: chat & forum - cause I do need help & support too, I'll pray - God is my strength when I am a little weak, I'll listen to a good song, watch a funny movie, pamper me: a bubble bath, fave perfume - cause I AM WORTH IT & MO, YOU TOO ARE WORTH IT.
MO, you are not alone: you have your loving & supportive hubby & all the friends here at StressCenter.com. XOXOX

I cry just reading your post! THIS POST IS EXACTLY HOW IT IS FOR ME too! I dont want to be a weiner anymore. This is all that I KNOW! I have never been different. Well I have really. I was WORSE when I was younger. I think I am getting a lil better. Maybe I can credit that to the program or maturity I dunno. When anybody talks to me I feel cornered for some reason. I was told last week by my boss/friend that "I am VERY emotional and they cant tell me nothing cause they dont want to upset me". I dont want it to be this way.
Originally posted by HopfulME:
I too would cry alot and think it was for nothing, but it usually would be from anger or frustration. I have had major depression at times and knew at that time it was from the depression.
But does anyone know how to cure the anxious cry?
I mean when you have to talk about something important to a family member, or if you are called in the office by your boss.
It is so hard to hold that in. Your throat starts to choke up and you feel tears in your eyes, even though you know you don't want to cry. You are so nervous that it just starts as a waver in your throat, and then the eyes get very watery. If you try to talk you will cry.
I am so embarrased by that. I remember the same thing happen when I tried to do a report at school. My voice cracked and trembled and I had the tears in my eyes. I thought I would cry in front of everybody. That is the worst. Or if you are talking to a friend or relative. They see it as weakness and I think oh you do not know I am not weak but my eyes are weak.
Does anyone know how to stop that from happening. I feel so dumb when it happens and so immature. Do you think adrenaline goes into your tear ducts? I don't know, but it makes you shy away from speaking to your boss or bringning up a personal conversation.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh u guys are so wonderful. I am just BAWLING!!!! I am a sensitive soul. I pray for strength but the Lord has NOT given it to me so I suppose this is just gunna be me! I just have not come to accept it yet. I saw a psychologist yesturday and we talked about the racey thoughts. He gave me permission to just have the thoughts and DONT FIGHT THEM. Dont entertain them but just let them go on their way. When I fight them I make them come more frequently. Also he told me that with the urges of the OCDs to go back home and recheck the (gas stove, curling iron ect) He told me to NOT go home to check. 99 percent of the time they are off. It is common sence. I wish I could afford to go back to him for him to tell me How to battle this tearfullness I experience all the time. I am SOOO HAPPY to know I am NOT alone. I am going to put in a phone call to my doc today to discuss maybe getting on a lil somthin. to help battle the tears. I WANT TO BE STRONG! I cant be strong when I am PISSED. I want to be strong and conident always. just havent figured out hot to tap into it. I also noticed on my days off all I think about is work and anticipating how much of a downer it will be. So I spend my whole day off anticipating going to work. Instead of enjoying it and getting stuff done I exhaust myself anticipating and have to take a long nap. IT IS NOT FAIR. How come I cant go to work like normal people? see I am racing around again. uggggh.
All for His praise, glory and the joy it gives Him.

Yo, being from Michigan myself, there is one simple thing you can check, your vit D levels. Mine dropped by 1/2 when fall set in. I know for a fact that the lack of sun up here affects so many of us. I'm crying all the time.........its because of the lack of sun and I'm taking 2000 IU of vit D and having them checked again next month. i use a light box also, but it just takes the edge off. it could help you also, an easy thing to check out, in the meantime you could just take the minimum dose which is 200 i think.

Yes the D levels could do it. Mine over the summer ( I am not a sun goddess) was 11! THAT is very low. I take cod liver oil capsules and feel better.
Mo, there is nothing wrong with crying. You are NOT a sissy. Stuff happens. It is ok. You will get through this. I did this too, cry ALL the time. I am an emotional person to being with, very feeling, my heart bleeds for just about everything. You are human. At least you feel, no? Imagine NOT feeling anything and walking around like a zombie! I rather cry thank you. And this is something that will get better. Do not get down about it. I found that makes it worse. I just told myself that I was human, this "wave" would pass and I would be fine. I just an a feeling person. I do not cry all the time now. The cod liver oil capsules HAVE helped!
