I just can't stop crying

LegacyUser

The last while has been very stressful and I am on the pill but in the last 6 months or so, anything even vaguely sad I see or hear turns on the taps. My boyfriend and I have been having troubles lately too and as soon as I start to talk about it I cant stop crying. I dont want to be crying all the time in front of him as Im sure it upsets him too.

What is wrong with me? I am not depressed but just seem too sensitive these days.

Are u sure you're not depressed? Depression manifests itself in many different ways and maybe your crying jags are a real sign of something deeper?

If it is a feeling of being not in control of your life or your relationship, perhaps there are steps you can take to gain control or maybe your wish to control everything is the problem.

Either way, for now, make yourself a nice big sugary cup of tea and watch something brainless on tv or iplayer (I recommend Home and Away- everyone's good looking and its always sunny ), then go to bed early tonight and try to get a good night's sleep.

Tomorrow morning, ring in sick, go and visit your GP and explain your feelings of high emotion (bring tissues). It may just be a hormonal imbalance that can be corrected by a short course of anti-anxiety medication. Most people hate taking medication but sometimes, it will give you the emotional stability and distance to be able to objectively see what the problems are. And then you'll be able to start tackling the issues that have brought you to this place.

Find the good in you and love it.

Good night and good luck.

Definitely not depressed....

Everything is changing - my job, his job, relationship now long distance, travel with work for both of us and we havent had a holiday since May, structual problem with my house, money worries for him, etc etc etc

Well now that I have written it down, its fairly obvious

Wow- you've got a lot of stressful issues right there. I'd still go with my earlier advice. Right now you've got so much going on you cant see the wood for the trees. Hows the cup of tea going down?:)

Have you considered the possibility of the pill being the prob?I know when i went on a new one it made me craaaazy, more angry than sad, but it can show in different ways.

Cant take any time off for the next 2 weeks sadly... Am a trainer and am going full blast for the next fortnight. New problem - OH's aunt is dying as we speak and I wont be able to get time off for the funeral (will manage the removal but...)

Hey op,

As was mentioed above, do you think it's the pill your on? I had to come off it because it made me so down (not depressed) that i would cry over anything. Tried so many different ones and they all did the same. My bf at the time even said it to me and noticed a difference in me when i came off it.

Hi OP

Sorry to hear about all those changes. It sounds like it may be a combination of factors but I have to agree with the last poster about the side effects of certain types of the Pill. This has happened to a couple of my friends. They also cried alot! And often for no reason! They couldn't help it! They instantly solved the problem by changing to a different Pill.

Consult your GP and good luck with all the rest.
