I couldn't even count the times I cried, I couldn't even measured. All I know is that I can't stop but cry. There are just trials in our life we think we couldn't even carry it through. It's just I feel like there was no hope at all, why does there are really times we get down?

crying is just normal to human it's just a way of expressing ones emotion. even animals do cry we just don't notice it.sometime in our life trials come and all we can do is to cry to release the burden that's in our hearts. in other times we cry to because we are overwhelmed of what we feel, we feel too much happiness that's what we call tears of joy as what some says.tears is always part of life's journey,those bad and hurtful things that makes us cry will became our armor for future trials and makes us strong to face life. and those happy thoughts that makes our tears fall will be our strength to continue to face the hardships that will gonna face in our future life........

Thanks for the advise. I heard from a local artist here in the Philippines, Boy Abunda, he said that he's mother told him that "You will first feel sadness before appreciating the best out of happiness". It only means, you have to cry in order to get out of happiness.

Try to calm down, and tell the problems to other people, like your close friends, husband, or family. You will feel better. Everything can be solved, don't be so pessimistic, you don't want to get into depression, don't you?

That's it, I am depress. I choose to write it down here for the reason that I don't want my family nor my friends knows exactly what I feel inside. But I keep on moving, I tried not to really overpowered by depression, there are really moments of reality. Thanks, for the cheer!I'm still ok.

I've done lots of crying the past year. I would cry until I was just physically spent, and I had no energy left to cry anymore. Recently I've tried to stop myself from getting to that point by taking the suggestions from one of my therapists (yeah... I go to multiple therapists. What boundless fun. ) and doing something to shut off the crying spells. Some of the suggestions were dunking your face in ice cold water, throwing yourself into a physical activity that occupies your body and mind (I chose hula hooping), or breathing deeply and attempting to DBT your emotions. It works pretty well, and I haven't had a big crying spell in awhile. I was down because I was ill with depression. I'm being treated for it, but I've still got a long way to go. If you are depressed, then you need help... it's a disease and it requires medical intervention, you can't tough it out. If you're just blue, then hang in there!

yes, there are really times that we get down to our knees and cry and cry, i myself exprienced it 2 years ago, we cannot control our destiny even if we have choices, if its our destiny, it is our destiny. but all of us learns from our mistakes and even if we stumble and fall we always stand up and fight and live the next day!
