excessive crying or being overemotional?

Post Reply New Topic

I cry at the drop of a hat. I only have to get told off by my manager and I sit in the toilets and cry.

I'm a very emotional woman.

I get emotional a lot. It probably doesn't help that my family will yell at me whenever I'm melting down, making it worse. Apparently it's a crime to cry in my house. I hate being the only Aspie in my family. No one understands me. I'll cry at least twice a week for hours at a time. I once cried for 8 solid hours, that was when my boyfriend broke up with me a few years back. I feel like I have to stifle myself just so I won't be a burden on my family.

I cry for no reason at random times when I'm PMSing. Otherwise, it takes a hurtful comment or something I find particularly sad to make me cry

I have this problem aswell, and there are also times where I know it would be normal to cry my eyes out, but where I just can't.
And then I have situations where I just start crying for no reason at all. And the times where I get hurt and it triggers a cascade effect of emotions just all comming out at once.
If something goes bad socially, I tend to be upset over it for up to a week depending on what it was, and it just seems like I can't stop myself from thinking back to the situation and try to analyse it to get an answer even though I never manage to get one.
Also, sometimes I get really mad instead of sad, to the point where I randomly pick up my teddybear (yes, I have a teddybear) and toss it across the room in a brief fit of frustration.
All of this gets much worse when I have PMS, I usually isolate myself when that happens, because I just can't handle any social situations.

i don't know why it might be that my parents passed when i was so young (i was only 6) but every time some one says something negitive even to someone else i just start crying like nonstop idk why

Whenever I cry my mum always says, ''why you bawling for?'' and I can tell in her voice (yes, I can read tones of voice) that she's being critical. I think the word ''bawling'' is quite a harsh word on me, because it makes me feel like a big baby. I'd rather people to say, ''what's the matter?'' or ''are you OK?'' or ''why are you crying?'', also using a sympathetic voice. That way I can know that somebody understands and is concerned, and I can tell them what I'm crying about, and they can just make me feel a little better about it. The more people snigger at me or criticise me, the more my tears will turn into an outburst - which will result in me running upto my bedroom and crying more, then being afraid to come back down due to knowing that I've made the atmosphere miserable.
