    Keep crying for no reason?!
    Dont know whats wrong with me but today ive just been really anxious and not myself, i thought 'what is wrong with me?' but was fine but then later on different people asked me if i was okay and i just couldnt stop crying and now whenever i think about how or feel or about the person asking me i burst into tears again.


    But i have no idea why, nothings especially wrong TODAY. Lifes not been great for the past couple of weeks but i dont think im upset about that.


    Has anyone had this before? Or know possible reasons why? What can i do? Its coming onto my 6th cry of the day and im a bit sick of it..

    Sometimes we just have really off days for no apparent reason.
    Maybe you'll feel better after a good nights sleep.

    Hmm. There must be an underlying reason. Maybe something particularly upsetting has happened/is happening, or there's something you're not happy with and you've just suppressed those emotions.

    Or alternatively:

    Lifes not been great for the past couple of weeks...
    That's your answer. Maybe you've reached your breaking point.

    Agree with Anonymous poster #2. Some days are just rubbish. Young people have hormones flying all over the place and it can get a bit much. Personally, I think if you need to cry, it's so good to just do it. Sit and sob your heart out, you'll feel better afterwards. Go and have a bath, have a hot chocolate and get to bed early. Everything's always better in the morning.

    You need to find out why you were crying in the first place but when people ask you wether you're ok, thats the worst thing you can do, it makes people feel even worse.

    I was like this for ages... Turns out it was a combination of 1. Way too many hormones thanks to a new medication 2. Instability in family, personal and romantic life.

    Just cry and you will feel better. Find someone you can confide in too.

    As you said it's only been today, it could just be a random mix of things which happened to come together today. Everyone gets days like that, and it's horrible, but you just have to try and focus on the positives and do things to cheer yourself up. :console:

    If it goes on for longer, then you could consider seeking help, because it's not normal for prolonged periods.

    You should try having it like that everyday, count yourself lucky it will go away.
