Emotion help: When I cry, it’s not normal. - Help.com

When I cry, it’s not normal.

I get this overwhelming sadness that creeps up on me… and I don’t cry directly when things happen or are depressing. I just randomly sink into this horrible chasm of dread. I will get bad headaches, forget to breathe, and be somewhere beyond depressed beyond crying sometimes. I don’t know exactly why I do this, but the strange thing is when I’m done (which is usually also sudden) I can’t fathom being that sad. I’ll be put-off by my own emotional outburst. Alarmed because the feeling came up out of the blue, and usually I control my emotions well. This usually happens when I’m alone, but occasionally, in public or around friends… I always run to the bathroom of course and they never notice, but why am I doing this? I don’t think I’m bi-polar… I’m pretty well off. I’m not on any meds, and usually I’m outgoing etc. Yet this happens once or twice a week… Any suggestions?

I would pin it as depression or bi-polar disorder.
Talk to your doctor about it.
