last Friday evening I was just chilling in front of the telly and started crying for no reason and I was unable to stop for more then a hour maybe two. I was very tired but the strange thing about it all was that there was no sadness.I felt nothing really. I just was crying so loudly that a neighbour( to whom I never speak) came to my door to see if he could help me what was very sweet but I couldn't really deal with it of course and ended up closing the door again. after that I realised that I didn't really know what was up with me and that scared me. after a wile I did get some grip on myself and called my mother and asked her to come over and of course she did. I calmed down and it was pretty much all well again. but I am still not sure what happened and that bothers me quite a lot. I need to understand and I don't understand why was I crying my eyes out if I wasn't really sad ?
has anyone had anything like this ?

Hi Fryfan!
i can't speak for everyone of course, but i'm pretty sure almost everyone has experienced that at least once and many people experience it regularly!
it can be a symptom of depression, but it can also be hormone related, or many other things. i have several friends who cry out of nowhere without being sad on a monthly basis... and they have no mental illness or anything like that going on. also, crying isn't automatically connected to sadness. you may not know why you are crying, but that's okay.
what else has been goin on with you?

thanks dear.
that makes me feel a bit better.
there has been a lot going on with me, I am busy at work and last week was a bit more then a 53 hour work week what is a too much and I am working less this week. and my boss is quite pushy and not really nice.I am just trying to be as good as I can be and hope no one notice anything wrong. I still am having a bit trouble managing the living on my own, its better then it was though. and then things like going into town is getting more scary, that is quite frustrating.
so there is enough to go around
hope your well dear.
take care xx

Hi fryfan
Sounds like you have every reason to have a cry! Like michael says, some people cry for 'no reason', while for other people do it only when there's something going on. I imagine it's actually quite a healthy thing to do actually - all those chemicals being released.

thanks greentree.
I suppose I do,think got confused because the sadness (the emotion that I associate with crying) wasn't there.

oh, geeze, fryfan, i would definitely not be afraid to blame the work week! that's like almost two days worth of overtime!!
i've done that myself, when trying to earn extra money or busy times, and it is very stressful.
is it like that every week?
and yeah... i have at times, just started crying because there is just too much going on. and sometimes the stuff going on isn't bad or sad, it's just too much to keep in my head!

Hi Fryfan,
Three weeks ago I woke up on a monday morning in a fairly good mood.
Two hours later I was sitting on the edge of my bed, crying in utter, utter despair. I had not experienced such a dramatic episode before, not with this incredible pacing (not a mood swing, a mood plummeting!). I rarely cry, and if I do, it is serious. This was serious. It took me a week to gradually recover. It came out of the blue. And it happened despite being on meds, which scared me big time. Both me and my psychiatrist were completely taken by surprise.
You describe a lack of sadness while crying, so I can relate to the sudden inexplicable crying part.
I guess it is situations like these that scares me having this illness. I felt like riding a horse in a happy vally and suddenly being jumped by Ali Baba and his 40 depressed rovers.
My conclusion (and yours as well if I read correctly) was that I probably stretched myself in work and life too much and some rubberband snapped. I am now very aware I have to manage my life in a new way, continuously trying to avoid overload. Not easy, but vitally important. Day/night rhythm for me is crucial.
Take care!

During the worst of my MD, I was with my first bf and we were dining out. I was fine. Not just fine, even, but almost happy. But then I went to salt my meal and the salt shaker was out of salt. No big deal, I knew, but the intrusion completely depressed me. I knew that was stupid, almost lame, and even vapid, but it affected me without my consent. My feelings weren't hurt that I didn't have salt, but the fact that, at a what what seemed perpetually vulnerable point, I was ill-affected emotiontally by something wrong in my environment. It was a trigger, small as it may have been, that plunged me into a daylight depression. I call it a daylight depression, not because it was during the day, but because it was not the NightLine kind that made news amongst the circle, wherein the details of my very tears would be broadcast and labeled crazy. Daytime depression consists not of crying inconsolably, but of just being really, really, really sad.
So don't feel wierd or strange or even bad about crying at the TV (heck, a well done commercial can do me in sometimes) because, having been brought to my mental knees by an empty salt shaker, I know that depression strikes at the strangest times. But when it strikes at odd times like that, it means, at least in my experience, that the depression is bottled, at least somewhat.
When I met the man I'm still with today, he let me cry any time I wanted. His first wish was to stop the crying, but I quickly cured him of that. I needed to cry. Crying is not an act of weakness. It is often a good idea. It releases more stress that anything else I have ever come across.
So, in closing, I would say there was a reason for you bursting into, but it was not the telly.
The "flaws" that move us to hurt move us also to share our pain with others, thereby making others feel less alone and, thereby, becoming a vital link in a chain reaction of, subtle though it may seem, healing.

hey people.
I use this threat because opening a new one just for me again is so silly. well, I do work a bit less now but stress is still high and that I notice because I am having panicy things with hyperventilation the whole works. ( if I do something I do it right;) )fist it came to me in the evening when I come to rest and all the stress just comes out but now I am getting breathless (and not in the way I like to) at work, its annoying and embarrassing. to be fair its pissing me off!
but anyway. I just needed to vent and rant, having done that so now to the better bits:
hello fellow fans of the fab fry.
I am not arround tooooo much and quite sorry about that, I have either no time or am tired or am in a bad moon so all with all I haven't been here a lot. do hope your all well and happy or at least on your way
bless you all
much love

hello lovely people.
do hope all is well with everyone.
thank you all.
I am busy, with work mostly. also haven't been feeling all that well. been a bit ill but not having the time to be properly ill I just went on with the show, what made for a very lousy couple days.
also am busy on twitter trying to get some attention for world autism awareness day (that will be this Friday) but with some lovely exceptions people simply don't really give a shit, what is indeed why we need the day in the first please.
my autism has a very big impact on my life and its important for me that people learn about it so that stereotype and stigma goes in change for better understanding and just taking time to get to know the person behind the disorder. as long as people are willing to listen and want to understand then I won't stop trying to explain myself.
anyway that is whats up here atm
*hugs all around* and take care lovely people
xx
