I can't stop crying for days on end. What do I do?

I would suggest going to see a counselor. This is a sign of depression and can be known as "crying spells". Sometimes you do not understand why youre crying, and so professional help is probably the best thing to turn to.

Crying is natural. Try to cry it out, but let yourself realize that you need to move on from this moment and into a new one.

Crying is OK, there's nothing wrong with it,cry until your heart's content but maybe talk to someone

First of all, go drink some water. A full cup or two at the very least. I'm going to focus on your immediate needs before addressing underlying issues. It could be helpful to go take a shower, and really make sure you're feeling the water and the soap, and the shampoo if you wash your hair. Maybe hum a little tune in there. It helps, I promise. After, if you have any lotions/body butters/etc, use those. Care for your body so you can care for your mind. Otherwise, put on comforting, fresh clothes, brush your hair and teeth. Now that your body is taken care of, go eat if you can. Or else try journalling your feelings, reasons and possible solutions. You can even light a candle and/or play some soft, happy music. It could also be beneficial to speak to someone about it, be it a friend, an expert, or one of the lovely Listeners here on 7 cups. Take care

Try to listen to uplifting music and get up and active! Often times sitting around or not doing much can promote feelings of sadness and increase depression. Go outside and get some sunlight and remember to be kind to yourself. Do things that make you happy or take part in activities or hobbies you enjoy. Call a loved one, make art, sing, pet animals, among many other things to improve mood and productivity.

Crying is OK. Don't be too hard on yourself. Try asking yourself "what do I need right now"? That way your body will feel listened to.

Circumstances can seem overwhelming at times. It flows from the natural ups and downs that life throws at us. It's perfectly normal to feel the way you're feeling right now. I would suggest you introspect - look deep within yourself- and pin point exactly what part of your circumstances has hurt you the deepest. From there, the healing can begin. I follow the motto "This Too Shall Pass". It applies equally to the good times and the bad. Right now you're in a dark place. But this doesn't define you or your future. You have a beautiful future around the corner and you need to believe that, hold on to it, whilst you trudge through this dark space. If it is something you have done, forgive yourself we are only human. If it is something someone else has done to you, forgive them. Forgiveness is divine. Being grateful for the silver linings (no matter how thin they may seem right now) goes a long way as well. I know it is easier said than done. Cheer up, darling. Things are going to be a lot better sooner than you think. Be strong and know that our community is right here for you. Feel free to contact me at any time.

I reach out to trusted loved ones (my boyfriend and my dad) and tell them how I've been feeling. I stay consistent with therapy and really push myself to go to sober support meetings along with trying my hardest to get myself out of the house.

Emotional release is a way of allowing what we are experiencing to process. If we do not allow this, it's possible the pent of emotions will be displayed in a negative way later on. Always make room for this purging. It will benefit you in the end.

think about positive stuff and distract yourself from the sad things that are happening. write down a list of things that make you happy
