I just got the overwhelming urge to sit in a corner and cry. What can I do to he!
Question: I get the urges to cry or go to sleep and not wake up every once in a while. It's nothing too serious, it's a rare visitor, but when they come they hit hard and take a while to pass. What can I do help? I've talked about it with someone, and it didn't help much other than getting them all worried about me. I'm thinking about starting an art project. What would you recommend I do to help it pass?

It's good to hear from you again.....I have similar bouts, but mine is depression....I could be right in the middle of something I really enjoy and suddenly some kind of wave comes over me and I'll stop right there.....all I feel is that I just want to sleep. I know what it is, but don't know why it occurs...I not thinking of anything in particular at the time....I've recorded the times and what I was doing when this feeling came over me...since I feel it coming and know that I'm in that feeling I'll try to just work through it.....if often occurs while I'm in the middle of something so I just try to stay focused on what I'm doing and try to carry on until it passes....most often it does...It helps me to keep busy or if I'm not doing anything when it hits, I'll start doing something, anything just to occupy time till I no longer feel that way....
You can work your way through it.....the art project would be good...just make it rather hard so you can't finish it too quickly.. Stay with it Ms. Broken Doll....you'll get through it..
walk around the neighborhood
You can ride it out, go to counseling, medicate (not recommended), immerse yourself in positive activities (like your art project).
Yeh sounds like a great idea! something to take your mind of the upset in your life. Crying though is a great release.
I cry regularly - but i try to think of the positives in life and everything that i got that's good. which when you start to list them theres really alot!
Try it! xxx
There is a virus going around ,kind of like the fluew or a bad cold , that has a beginning that gives you the blues , I supose it's your body going into battel , and on it's way in you feel blue for no reason whatsoever , it finishes it's course in a day depending on what time of the day it shows up , you then get the cold or fluew or what ever it is , you'll feel tired and maybe a little sore , mabey a snottey nose , but the blues come first , you can expect to get sick in a day once you've experienced the blues ,
Hmm. That happens to me to. I'm a guy and I have no problem admitting that.
I don't know what to do either. I just sleep and hope when I wake up, I'll have some sort of clarity. I very seldom allow myself to cry as the way I see it, what ever is making me feel that way, wins if I did. I'm stubborn and dumb. Maybe it would help us both if we meet up in a corner and let out some stuff we've been building up.
Well...I think its normal. Sometimes one feels like crying for absolutely no reason, even when your not even particularly sad. Its true...got that from Dane Cook: Vicious Circle lol. You just have to let it all out. And when youve had enough, pick yourself up and resume with being happy. Basically, I dont know if distracting yourself with small things will help, all I know is that you have to tell yourself to get up, and make yourself get over it. Stay positive, try to shake it off, not focus on the sulking, and just try to smile.
I was thinking maybe theres something your missing. Maybe thats why these things happen. Try to do something fulfilling, like getting to know God. I know that was kinda out of left field, but if you think about if humans were made to have a relationship with God and to get to know him, if were not then of course we're going to feel like something is missing and that theres something else we should be doing right now. See, were not designed to be so focused on ourselves so much, because were all a part of something greater. So when we spend all our time just thinking about ourselves, we dont know how to react because thinking of ourselves just makes us feel unproductive and obsolete...like were wasting our time and makes us feel hollow. So maybe what we seek is substance..and He's waiting for you out there, so go and find him. Good luck!! =]
You've been given a lot of good advice Doll. Just one question: Are you prepared to take the necessary steps to self-preservation if you slipped into a deep depression? Deep depression makes you immobile. Is there anyone you see or talk to in the real world who can keep tabs on your well-being? If not, please find someone in the real world to speak with daily. Also talk to your doctor and consider an antidepressant if s/he recommends you take them. It is senseless to live miserably in the 21st century.
