Can't Stop Crying Please Help

I've been feeling sad off and on for a couple of weeks but yesterday and today I'm just a crying all day long and cannot figure out why.  I've tried journaling and talking with my sister and Mom and still it keeps going today.  I'm lost and do not know where to turn or who to call for help.

Hello, Ocean 1, and welcome to the Depression Forum,

I'm sorry you're having a bad time with the moods and tears coming
so strongly.

So much of this depression that we suffer from is caused by chemical imbalances, Ocean 1. While the emotional qualities of Christmas are very tough for some people, we can improve our feeling tone by doing several things:

Stop drinking canned drinks which contain either caffeine or artificial sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners can react with some of us by causing a profusion of tears, low feeling tone, and it takes hours of drinking purified water to get these out of our systems. If you use caffeine in any form, please stop it right away. It causes depression to become much worse over a period of time; so does alcohol.

If you are able to do those things, you mood will improve over time,
guaranteed.

I urge you also to seek counselling to see if medication is called for
until you stabilize.

Keep posting to let us know how you are getting along in the next
few days with some changes. I rank dropping caffeine and artificial sweeteners right up there with the effectiveness of some of the best psychotropic medications.

Have a restful and calm, quiet Christmas.

Holiday cheers!

I.G.

Hope you feel better Ocean1 i feel like that a lot but i just keep my emotions in but sometimes it gets so over whelming i breakdown, i suppose its good to get it out but it feels like no ones there. try surrounding yourself, spending time with friends try to have fun, think of it as your last day don't worry just do whatever feels right.

Ocean...Hope you are feeling better...I think we all feel like that at times. Keep us posted and let us know how you are doing.
