I keep bursting into tears but im not upset or sad

[Tamba]

I keep crying! you know that feeling in your stomach when you are about to cry? I keep getting that for no reason, even when i am perfectly happy.

Had to explain to dh that i wasnt upset or sad and i couldnt help crying - he thinks im a wierdy lol

also cried at Desperate Midwives, Little house of tiny terrors (or something like that) a magazine and half of the threads on mn today!

I am strange!

Is there any reason for it? Its just been in the last week or so,

thanks xxx

pg

stressed

PMS? Pregnancy?

Could you be due on? Are you pregnant? Are you tired? Have you eaten enough today?

just talking with meggymoo on a thread about me & her crying today, critical mass crying going on it seems.

We use comdoms

I dont get PMS cause i dont have periods (although i must ovulate cause i have 2 ds's, doctor said ive got sticky ovaries of something, where the egg gets stuck)

Not overly stressed, just had a fab morning at the wakey warehouse and getting christmas deccies, hubby been off work for a few days so has been doing most of the childcare/housework, all ive done is read my new books! (which i am also keep crying at

Im gonna run out of tears soon!

Not tired, didnt get up til 10am

and have just eaten a mcDonalds (shoot me now - the kids had happy meals!)

I so need to pull myself together! Am now crying over nothing whilst stuffing my face with choccie (which i got from the mn christmas swop yummy!)

arrghhhhh i am a blibbering wreck!

Don't understand... Are you feeling emotional?

Not overly emotional, i just keep crying

cried in B&Q this morning looking at my son as he gazed at the tinsel and stuff in amazment (hes 3)

My youngest who is 19 months, ran up and gave me a hug when i got up this morning - and i cried cause he was being so sweet

I am really emotional at the moment, well over the last week or so but dont know why!

Am also indecisive!

"Not overly emotional, i just keep crying"

and

"I am really emotional at the moment, well over the last week or so but dont know why!"

are totally the opposite statements!!

I am exactly the same tamba.
Ds is 22 mths.
Discussed with doctor late post-natal-depression, polysystic ovaries ets etc.
Had blood tests done.
All negative.
None the wiser.
Not unhappy.
Do not feel depressed.
Totally baffled by it.

are you sure you aren't having a nervous breakdown

enid

At least im not alone Rach!

How safe are condoms anyway????

I really am none the wiser, Tamba.
Lets hope that one of the mn's can enlighten us both .

Sounds emotional to me! Here's a controversial thought: maybe it doesn't matter why, maybe you just need to cry a lot just now...maybe you happen to have the space/time/energy to do some catch-up crying...maybe its the time of year...?
Hugs anyway!

Maybe you a right Eli, sometimes crying can be healing, past events and emotions being released. I dont think its a contriversial thought btw, its something i believe in myself

you know, deep down i think i am absolutly panicing that maybe the condom failed and im pregnant and that would be a disaster so i was hoping for alternative reasons lol

I cant be pregnant though cause we use condoms!!!

will keep telling myself that til i believe it lol

(no point me testing cause i never show positive til 4 months and i actually had a period at the begining of november - must be my yearly one woohooo)

Oh good, never know when I'm being controversial so was playing safe
Speaking of safe, condoms are pretty good when used from the start - ifyswim - but hmm. Will cross fingers for you!

I am the same, I cry at the news, Our New life in Everwood (yes, how sad, my new favourite tv programme - god I need to get back to work), when my 2 year old ds1 is sweet, when i think about my family, etc, etc.

I don't feel down or depressed either. thought it might just have been general hormones as i am just stopping breastfeeding at the mo. yes, blame it on the hormones.

sorry, totally unhelpful comments!

I think it is a Christmas thing
It'll get worse as the month goes on

and in January dry hankies again

Stopping breastfeeding was the pits, hormonally, for me - had about two weeks solid of blues, tears, and gloom!

Christmas, yep, that'll do it too - in my case, mostly from too much exposure to my family and general knackeredness.
