Did you want to cry so hard even there's no reason to?

Since I was young, I have lots of bad experiences, and I don't share them with anybody. I keep them to myself. Oftentimes, I would release them by thinking of a particular bad experience and cry so much till there's no more tears or I fell asleep. I do this since I was 10 years old. I did it while washing dishes, or doing laundry, or watching TV, or before going to bed. I continuously do it till now that I am grown up, if I don't do it, I feel very depressed and my mood becomes off. Do you think it's healthy? Did you have same experience as mine?

I guess I not perfectly the same as you because when I am mad and about to cry I wanted them to know that I'm really mad. I'm somehow outspoken. but I actually did try crying a lot when I'm young in fact I was crying till I fall asleep then continue when I woke up. well, I was childish back then, I sometimes think that someday I wanted to cry out loud even if there's no reason for the purpose of trying to portray some artist in a drama series well, it's kinda challenging. I guess your experience of not sharing your problems to anybody and crying on your own wasn't that healthy at all. I mean It's really not a good way to forget your bad experiences. You might just end violently. I mean I'm really afraid of people who do it. you might find other ways to let your feelings out negatively which can be dangerous

hi, thanks for the response.
i am not a violent person, i rarely shout or get angry, it will take serious reason for me to be angry. for example, if one person hurt me, i don't get angry at him immediately or at once, i pile it up. then when time comes that my anger is filled, then i become really angry, like i will kick, punch,or throw things at you, or sometimes just be seated for very long time (like 1 0r 2 days) till the anger is gone. i think i am still in control with myself, am not i?

what you are going through doesn't sound healthy but i'm not a doctor and it would probably be better to see your doctor and tell them what you just said here.
Crying though seems like your sense of relief

I am a crying lady too, that is I cried many times in a week, this is my way of releasing tension and stress and I don't think this is bad, even Psychologists regarded this as healthy. After crying it out I felt relieved and very muck okay. I cried sometimes because of the thought of something else, the past humiliation from a friend always reduce me to tears even by merely thinking of it, this frequently resurface when I have my period maybe because of some emotional imbalance.

No i never wished to cry unless i feel i have emotional experience. Else i will never feel crying. Well according to you, you have moods swing and something at your heart is painful. You need to find it and always have some friends to share your pain, so you wont be depressed. Life is to short, so try to get our of ur pain and be happy person dear friend.

I understand what your ging through. I am Bi-polar type 2 and a massive depressent. I have up's and down's. The down's arent so great I find myself so sad that I don't even know why I'm sad. I find myself crying or wanting to cry for no reason at all. Does depression run in your family? Have you ever been tested for depression? Sometimes depression comes and goes. And they can treat you for that. But if your this concearn about it and not understand why you cry for no reason. I would see your doc. And they can help you to better understand it.

I don't think anyone would cry with no reason at all, that would be insanity. It would either be you're upset on something or it could be some vent up emotions that your system could no longer contain.
I had that feeling once, though I had the reason to cry. It was really funny actually. I was single for a long time because I thought that looking for relationships or men would no longer be worth it, so I decided to just go at my life alone. Talking to God every night as if he was my boyfriend. Share with him the funny things that happened to me, etc. It was great for a while until one point in time when I asked him something and didn't have any response (well, I wouldn't know what to do either if he did reply hehehehe...). After such countless times, I was frustrated. I didn't hear an response, neither have anyone to truly laugh with instead of laughing alone. I honestly cried my heart out at the time. I just wished I had someone who I could see smile, someone who would say I talk to much, and all those things.
After that day, I met my partner. It was funny.

well i think that crying it out at certain situations is good as it is a way of letting out your emotion if you aren't telling your problems to people!
but why do you have to cry every night? you can talk it out to your friends if you have some problem! plus see it this way. . . . crying it out will mean that you have no anger left to react to the situation, in which case you will go on with your life without facing your problems or standing up for yourself!
