Why do i sometimes cry for no apparent reason?!


Question:

Why do i sometimes cry for no apparent reason?

during these past few days, i've felt a bit down but it's gone too far - now i start crying in the worst places, where theres lots of people around. i dont even know why. the bad thing is that whatever i do, i always end up crying a very small bit and it just gets on my nerves coz theres nothing to cry about but it always happens.
to make it even worse, i've started cutting myself again to try stop the tears from coming out. i havent self-harmed in 4yrs so i dont know why i suddenly started again.
and i've noticed that i've started snapping and yelling at people a lot more than before this came about.
what should i do about this?

btw, if youre gonna tell me to "grow up" or tell me that lads cant cry, dont bother answering coz i really dont give 2 craps about that


Answers:

No, I wouldn't ever tell you to "grow up". That is the worst thing anyone could tell you when you are going through this. Something is causing you to cry. You might think that it is for no apparent reason, but there is a reason. You just have to figure out what it is. Cognitive therapy teaches that all of our emotions are caused by our thoughts. If we ignore what our thoughts are telling us about ourselves, we will still feel the emotions that those thoughts create. It sounds to me like you haven't wanted to face something or deal with something. We were taught to write down our thoughts. This is the best way to determine what you are telling yourself. Something has upset you and you have chosen to ignore it, rather than face it. Cutting doesn't cure the problem, it just masks it, and it will resurface until it is dealt with. Please make an appointment with a reputable therapist. Depression is often anger that is turned inward. In other words, when we feel angry at someone and don't want to deal with that person, the anger turns on us in the form of depression. The little child inside you is crying out for relief. The little child in you is screaming: "why didn't you speak up for us? why didn't you defend us?" Go yell at the person who planted the resentment in you and spare the innocent ones. God bless you. I hope everything works out for you.
