I can't stop crying

Ok, so for about the last two hours, I've been in tears prettymuch non-stop and I don't understand why-I don't know what's making me do this and it's quite scary. It keeps happening to me, more and more frequently; I'll just get into my room and burst into tears even though a few minutes ago I was fine. I just wanted to know if I'm alone in this.

it's probably your period

I really don't think so, it's something that's happened for quite a while now, but in the last month or so it's been getting really frequent. I suppose I'm a bit scared as apart from anything, my mother's a manic depressive and I don't know the first thing about that really, whether it's hereditary or what.

yeah it runs in families but this doesn't mean you automatically have it and every time you're up and down it must mean you're bi polar : -) if you're really concerned, see a doctor perhaps you could be referred or something and your moods could be monitored over a certain period of time for a possible diagnosis?

i could be rambling of course but that's what i'd probably do. or just live with it. but that's not very good advice lol

no one has periods for a month so I think we can rule that one out.
Can you think of anything going on in your life at the moment that could be causing it?

Apart from the exams looming up in the next couple of weeks, nothing that I can think of. It really scares me, I'll just find myself sort of crumpling up the moment I shut the door, just bursting into tears.

Yeah not that this is helpful, but you really need to dig inside yourself and find out what's making you feel this way.

Surely the tears aren't coming from nowhere...you're just sitting there watching MTV then you start crying for no apparent reason, surely something's making you feel sad, anything happened to you this last month?

Because maybe something's subconciously eating away at you, but you need to know what it is!

It's always been lurking there, I think. It's definitely become more frequent within the last month or so, but it's not new. God I've set off again.

Ive had this before... but i think its just something i need to do eery now and then: im obviously not vey emotionally secure so if i go a longtime without crying then it all comes out in one go!
hope you feel better soon = i usually feel a little better after a good cry :smile:

I get this all the time, sometimes i come home from school and just cry non stop over stupid things and have no idea why, try figuring out exactly what it is that's making you upset and talk to your friends about it/watch a movie to cheer you up/do something that you know will make you happy every time you feel really down. Hope you feel better soon :smile:

you didn't have to reveal yourself!

I could be wrong here, but is this an attention thing? because i'm at uni too and it feels **** not having many friends here...now i don't feel like crying or anything...but i can understand why people would want to have a lot more attention, even i do!

aaand are you by nature an emotional person or are you usually quite stoic?

i think what you should do is see your gp. i know that's the advice i seem to be giving a lot of people these days lol, but there's only so much you can gain from friends/a message board but by seeing a gp you know you're seeing someone educated in this kinda thing

and i still wouldn't rule out sudden hormone imbalance. this kinda thing can suddenly happen (perhaps as a cause of something or not) at 'random' times and makes one feel like this

basically there are many possibilities. it's best you don't jump to the conclusion that you're bipolar

I didn't mean to reveal myself :frown:

In front of people, I would never cry. I'm not really emotional in the slightest normally. There's just this, but it's like it's a 'behind closed doors' thing. Only when I'm alone. I just feel so desolate.
