I used to think everyone has to cry for a reason, but I noticed because I am diagnosed with bipolar, that I cry for no reason at all. The thing I picked up on is that I even noticed when my moods are changing into sadness. It's something that happens little by little and than the depression mood will hit where I begin looking at the world differently. Good thing I'm on medication now and my moods are doing a lot better than before, but I noticed where I will cry for no reason at all. Anyone relate?

When I get depressed, usually the first while I can't cry, but sometimes it later changes into a different sort of depression where I feel like crying all the time. It's been happening lately, but this time I don't know if it's purely because of the depression or because of the impact of not getting the treatment I needed due to covid when I was really doing badly. I found that a pretty traumatic experience and it's still affecting me a lot. |

I used to when I was constantly in mixed states and ultra rapid cycling, now I usually know why I'm crying.
Sending hugs to all who need them

I have had periods like this in the distant past. For the past 10 yrs or so, I pretty much cannot cry. I did cry when my IP doc told me she wld not discharge for at least a yr. It takes sthing on that level for me.
I did cry last week when I had this epiphany about all my brain issues perhaps being connected. I was mostly proud that I had not given up, despite 5 decades of misery. I think I was crying because I was proud for trying so hard for so long. Hugs. __________________ When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot, but I always found them--Rodney Dangerfield |

My last depressive episode a few months ago, I didn't even realize I was depressed (my behaviour changed not my thought processes or feelings) until 1 day I was randomly crying and couldn't pinpoint why... Well then I thought of how my life sucks and then I had an actual reason to cry and cry hard I did...
I probably shouldn'ta done that. Lol While my episodes are 98% random, the crying is definitely triggered by depression and the thoughts and feelings that accompany it. __________________  DXD BP1, BPD & OCPD  "The best way to make it through with hearts and wrists in tact, is to realise, two out of three aint bad" FOB...

My pdoc always asks me that question. If I have been having any "crying spells" that don't seem to be related to anything in particular.
I have understood that type of crying to be a symptom of depression, but I can also envision it as a general emotional/mood disregulation. __________________ |

I used to cry at everything. Now I can’t really cry anymore. Like I am physically unable to or something. I really like it that way. I can watch super sad episodes of TV shows and stuff and won’t have an issue.

Some meds can cause people to be unable to cry. I've known some people who were very disturbed because they literally could not cry due to a medication. __________________ |

I remember the very first time I encountered this.
I was crying over the final of american idol. someone asked me why are you crying at american idol?. you don't even watch it, and the contestants are singing happy, uplifting songs but I couldn't respond. I just knew I was sad, and it lasted all evening (even problems eating because of it) over the years, I think it's got better (I now mainly cry at trivial things) but this still happens ocasionally |

Yeah, I cry for no reason or over the smallest reason when I'm depressed.

I almost never cry...unless I’m depressed and then the waterworks are often continuous and uncontrollable.

I go through times when my emotions are right underneath the surface and just burst forth. Little things- like a tv show or reading a book or a saying on a mug or a memory of when my kids were little. Once, there really was no reason, I just sat on the edge of my bed sobbing. One of my kids came and asked what was wrong but I had no idea.
