Tearful
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi - does anyone go through stages of being tearful for a good few days. I feel like I cried loads lately - I know pain every day can get you down, but I can normally cope with it emotionally, maybe having one or two days a month when I am teary, but the last few weeks I have been terrible! Any suggestions on keeping up beat and not being so sensitive? X

I have this same symptoms, but I suffer from bipolar disorder and depression. I have an awesome psychiatric PA that has worked with me for the last 4 years to find the right medication combination for me. The miracle drug for me has been Effexor. I take 150 MG daily and if I run out, I can tell within 2-3 days. I immediately get tearful for no reason at all and I just can't stop it once it starts! Maybe you need a psychiatric evaluation. A lot of fibromyalgia sufferers also suffer from a mental disorder that is undiagnosed! Good luck to you!

Some days, I feel like I've cried the sea dry, for no reason whatsoever, but then other days I want to cry for real reasons, and the tears just won't come. I just feel totally drained!!! Maybe one day I'll get it right eh...... LOL

Build up...exactly! !!!great answer I never thought of that as it happens to me also. My is always guilt and shame that I can't do what I would like or used to be able to do. I have a 14 year old daughter (with just me) and she supports and helps me cope, but than my mind goes back to "she shouldn't have to do these things". ...yep its hard. 🙅lots of gentle hugs to you☺

I have a little cycle... I have a good day.. then things start to go downhill, I get cranky, sore and depressed,, eventually I cry, I feel better for it and I usually start the cycle over again... Never know how long before I need to cry again.. 2 day, 5 days..but you have to let it out. Don't bottle it up.

Elaine what you said is so true. Sometimes I feel desensitized. I want to cry but tears won't come. Sometimes I think I should feel sorrow but I don't. I don't like not being control of my emotions.
