    Do you do this as a release to let it all out then feel better afterward? If so I would say it’s ok. However if you’re doing it just to bask in your sorrow it’s unhealthy.

    I would say crying for the most part is normal. I know I am like that sometimes....I would wait until everyone leaves the house or until I am alone and just cry. And there isn't always a clear-cut reason for the crying...it's just a build up of emotions...an emotional release if you will. If it's something that is consuming your time and negatively affecting your quality of life though, I would speak to a professional about it.

    It's normal for sensitive people to cry occasionally and even have a really good cry once in a while. But if you're having long bouts of sadness, you might want to talk to someone about it. In the short term, get outside for a walk. Being inside so much because of the pandemic is affecting a lot of people that way. If you can walk in a natural setting, like a park or go for a hike in the woods, where there are streams or waterfalls, that would be perfect. And don't isolate from friends. Ask someone you haven't seen in a while to go with you. It'll help a lot, I promise! Rich

    Depression is not good sweet. You need to consult psychiatrist and there is nothing wrong to consult. Keep smile Be relax. Try to feel positive always in your life. If something negative is coming in your mind try to divert it as soon as possible instead of thinking. Sing a song alone at least, put earphones with positive songs and walk daily. Do it for your bright and happy future.
    Read a book "The Secret" . You are very nice person, emotional and kind by heart so it's normal to feel cry and all. But its ok.

    I make myself cry in front of people just by holding my eyes open for a very long time but I don’t do it on my own.
