Recently, I have been overcome with periods of intense sadness. Out of nowhere, I will experience crying and feeling completely overwhelmed to the point it sometimes takes an hour to get over it. This is a problem, especially when I am at work or in public. Any kind of slightly emotional thought seems to trigger it. I feel like I am always at the edge of bawling. Here is some background: In the past year, my adult son (23) nearly died in an auto accident, fully recovered, then had a massive stroke last month, fully recovered again, but has a couple more surgeries to go. In the meantime, my marriage with his step-dad has deteriorated quickly due to his unemployment and subsequent bankruptcy. Now I know this seems like a "Duh", but I am not a person who "does" emotions well. I am pretty much of a suck it up type. My meds have been working great this past year and got me out of a multi-year depression, but now I am really irritable and some symptoms of my mania are coming back (high libido, racing thoughts, lack of concentration). Going to start talk therapy again soon and have an appointment with med doc, but what do I call this what I am experiencing? Sadness Attack is the best I can come up with. Anybody else experience this kind of thing?

From the album: Love
My pastor once started crying when she was speaking a sermon. She talked about her heart breaks of a relationship, but at the end she said she learnt, "Crying is not a weakness, it is a strength." -
I've been lurking here for a quite a while. I think I even made some posts a while back. Anyway, to quickly introduce myself...My name is Susan, I live in Northeast USA, I"m 39 years old and have been depressed since I remember. I can recall being 5 years old asking God to let me die because I didn't want to live anymore. I've been on meds for 19 years. I've pretty much taken everything there is and my doctor (who is awesome) has suggested that if things don't get better I might want to try ECT. I've heard some really scary things about it..like memory loss and not being able to recognize your own hand writing after. Not sure if I'm going to do it. I'm out of work. Trying to get SSDI because I can't seem to go one day without crying. I sleep about 14 hours a day and even taking a shower is exhausting. I don't know. I guess I just needed to rant and get this out. Thanks for listening. Hope everyone else is feeling ok and having a better week. ~Susan
