Always Feel Like I'm Going to Cry In Public

[dahall31]

I don't know why, but for the last month or so I feel like I'm going to randomly burst into tears in public. I'll be in class or with friends that I've known my whole life and I feel tears coming on. I'm so worried about how weird it would be if I ever did just start shedding tears for no reason. I've been to therapy before for anxiety and I thought I put this stuff behind me. I really just don't want to go back, I just want to be normal. What is wrong with me? I don't know how I would explain it without divulging that I have issues with anxiety, something I'd like to keep secret. Is there anything I can do without going to see a doctor or taking pills? Any foods or drinks that calm you down? Thanks.

I would go in the rest room and let it out. There is a reason your body wants to cleanse. Try it for a short time, suppressing it will only bring more problems later. You may think the tears will never stop but they will. Allow yourself to go through the process. : ) Hugs to you

There's no such thing as a normal person. Everyone is messed up in some way. Try to figure out why it is that you want to cry in those situations and then take it from there. Once you know the reason, you can work on finding a solution.

Many people cry very quickly you know, don't make this something not normal. Maybe you are more emotional than others but everybody cry once and a while. My best advice for you is to find a quiet place when you feel like crying and go there and let it go, don't be afraid just cry until there are not tears to run out your eyes. If you keep forcing yourself not to cry you will never be free, you will be hunted all the time with the thoughts and feeling of crying. Try this method and see what happens, it might be your cure!

Take care!
