how can i stop the waterworks? sadgirlwhyme: Is there a trick anyone can tell me how to control my tears?
Maybe I do need medication. I just cry all the time. As soon as I get in my car to and from work I cry. I cry all night, I wake up crying. I sneak off to the bathroom at work to cry.
My depression is sitting on me and pushing me down furthur.
I have been depressed in my life, never give a reason to be sad before now.
Does it get less with time?
Like when someone you love dies?
Maybe if I could cut all ties I could begin a mourning process then get over him? But I see him frequently and we pretend we are still together, spend one day or night together, then drift apart for a couple days. It doesnt work after 5 years of being a real couple, living together and being good to each other.
Now he treats me like second class dirt.
I feel so alone when I am alone at night. Cant sleep or eat.
If one could die from a broken heart I would surly be dead....
Re: how can i stop the waterworks? yella: You might need help with medication as a last resort if you've been crying constantly for more than 4 weeks, but sometimes a positive change in your life can stop all of that.
There was a time just before I had a breakdown, when I'd cry on the way to work, on the way home from work, and right before I went to sleep. This lasted about a month until I pulled myself out of it. Of course that time is a total blur, but I have kids, which were a huge contributor to me pulling myself out.
I'm against medication, but only because I was on it for a couple of years and it seemed to make everything worse because I never dealt with what was bothering me.
Seeing someone professional to help you through is a good idea. Otherwise, try to make a positive change in your life and see if that helps.
Re: how can i stop the waterworks? ruby: i am so sorry for your pain. i wrote this a while ago i hope it helps.
As i walk along my path in life i gaze at the wonder that is to be found there. What a strange world it is that i have been placed in, for i am but a small entity trying to find my way. What is it i expect to recieve in this life, love, happiness, worldly possessions? Deep inside i know it to be much more. It is nothing less than a true awakening of my soul. As i look around me at all the world has to offer, i cannot help but feel a sense of detachment, for my path is leading me away from my present life into something that very few will possess. For while the world is content to sit within its coccoon, i am destined to become a butterfly.
Re: how can i stop the waterworks? alonewith2: I cried for almost a year during my first separation. It didn't help that I had a 40 minute drive to work...listening to songs on the radio (and each one seemed to have atleast one line that I could reference to him....). Then when I got to work, we never had any business so I would just sit there by myself....thinking. Then I would get in the car for that long ride home listening to the radio again.....
It helped me when I found a new job that kept me busier.....gave me less time to think. I tried to keep myself busy, to keep my thoughts on anything other than him/us.
Then I started giving myself little goals to accomplish that day. It gave me something to focus on. I started feeling better about myself each night when I completed my goal for the day.
Re: how can i stop the waterworks? sadgirlwhyme: Thanks for all your kind replies. At least I know I am not the only one. I was givin a prescription for Lexapro but I dont that one is right for me. O dont want it, havent tried it
I had requested Ativan, I took that because when I stopped taking Morphine after 4 months (I was really sick, now I am well ;) I freaked out and thought I was going to die, I refused to wean myself off of it, I quit cold turkey and ended up in the ER all night and was givin 14 Ativan. That week(late January) I took it I remember feeling in control and mellow. I wonder why my dr just wouldnt give me what I know works. Helps me sleep and eat. Maybe I will ask for that at my family dr? I mean, this crying is really getting out of hand and I am tired of hiding.
