Depression

Whether you cry from watching the scenes from The Notebook or cry after stubbing your toe in the middle of the night on a chair you didn’t see…. everybody cries. It can be in the privacy of your own home or share with your best friend, we all do it. And yes, we all sometimes cry for no reason and it can be normal. It probably is more alarming when you think “why am I crying for no reason” or we think “kids are crying for no reason,” but surprise, it is not for no reason. There is a reason. You just may not be aware of what it is.
Children may not be able to articulate what is going on, so to adults, it looks like kids are crying for no reason as well.
1. Most people are overwhelmed and don’t even realize it.You may be heading home from work sitting in traffic, and all of a sudden tears begin to fall. At that moment you probably are thinking, what is wrong with me? Why am I crying? I’m not even sad! If you are unaware of the amount of stress you are under, then stress can find a way to express itself, whether you are expecting it to or not. Stress lives in the body and crying is one form of release that stress finds. So pay attention to the amount of stress you’re under, it may be contributing to your experience of crying for no reason.
2. You don’t have to be clinically diagnosed with depression to experience symptoms of depression.
While it is a common mood disorder, many of the symptoms are common for people to experience as well. Some symptoms of depression are persistent sadness, empty mood, or hopelessness. Amongst other symptoms, these feelings tend to make people cry. The conscious connection may not be made so people assume they are crying for no reason.
3. Similar to stress, many people experience anxiety.Whether you have an anxiety disorder or struggle with anxiety in general, anxiety can cause you to cry.
Symptoms of anxiety can include having a sense of impending danger, feeling nervous, or having difficulty controlling worry. The act of crying can be a release of the build-up of previously explained symptoms. Remember, if you are not active in coping with your anxiety, it can appear in unexpected physical ways, like in the form of migraines or crying.
Premenstrual syndrome is the collective experience of symptoms that women have one to two weeks before their menstrual cycle begins. Some symptoms of the premenstrual syndrome include headaches, bloating, and crying spells. If you are not tracking your menstrual cycle and are unaware it is beginning, you may not realize you are experiencing premenstrual syndrome.
5. Processing the death of someone you love or cared for does not have a deadline.You may assume that because the person died a year ago, or 6 months ago that you would not feel sudden strong emotions related to that person you lost.
You may think that you have learned to accept the loss and going about your daily life. But like many people, you may still be grieving the loss of a loved one and not realize it. Something as simple as a smell that brings up a memory of a loved one could cause us to cry all of a sudden.
Not many have. Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is a condition that’s characterized by episodes of sudden uncontrollable and inappropriate laughing or crying. Pseudobulbar effect typically occurs in people with certain neurological conditions or injuries, which might affect the way the brain controls emotions. People that have pseudobulbar affect do have other emotions but express emotions in an inappropriate and magnified manner, consequently disrupting their life. Uncontrollable crying can look like crying for no reason.
So keep in mind, you may not be crying for no reason. Your tears mean something, you just have to figure out what they mean.
If you need to talk to someone, see a professional therapist or psychiatrist in your insurance network who can help you feel better and increase your quality of life.

What Happens When You Cry? Doctors Explain
Wet face. Red eyes. Smudged mascara. It’s pretty easy to tell when someone’s been crying.
What’s not so clear? Why your body thinks sending salty liquid out of your eyes is an appropriate response to hearing that song that always reminds you of your ex. Does the world really need to know that you get that bent out of shape over Ed Sheeran?
Turns out, what happens when you cry is the result of an interesting chain reaction in your body. And once the process is triggered, it’s pretty hard to close the floodgates.
Here’s a look at what goes on in your body when you cry—and the weird reason why you’ll probably feel better after your sobfest is over.
You feel an intense emotion—and the signals in your brain start flying.
Maybe you just got some really crappy news. Or your boss just dumped a ton of extra work on your plate, and you’re super overwhelmed. Or you just met your adorable baby niece for the first time.
Hardcore emotions like sadness, anger, stress, and even extreme happiness are processed in your body as a sign of danger, as if you were being chased by a bad guy or are about to be eaten by a bear. In the face of intense circumstances, the amygdala, an area of the brain that controls emotional processing, sends a signal to the hypothalamus—a pea-sized gland in your brain that’s connected to your autonomic nervous system, explains Ray Chan, M.D., an ophthalmologist at Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital. The autonomic nervous system handles functions that you don’t have any control over, like body temperature, hunger, thirst, and yup—crying.
Your heart starts to race, and you feel that lump in your throat.
The autonomic nervous system jump-starts the sympathetic nervous system and accelerates the fight-or-flight response. To help you prepare for impending doom, the fight-or-flight response tries to stop you from performing any nonessential functions, like eating or drinking. As a result, it causes your glottis—the opening between the vocal chords in your throat—to swell up, making your throat feel full and tight. “The body is trying to protect you so you don’t accidentally get any [nasal secretions or tears] in your lungs,” says Patricia Salber, M.D., founder of The Doctor Weighs In.
With your fight-or-flight system fully alerted, you might also experience other symptoms normally associated with sheer terror. Your heart rate might increase, your lips start to quiver, and your voice gets shaky.
Then the waterworks begin to flow.
All this emotion tells your hypothalamus to produce the chemical messenger acetylcholine.
Acetylcholine binds to receptors in your brain that send signals to the lachrymal glands—small glands that live beneath the bony rim of your eyes, explains Dr. Chan.
When these glands are stimulated, they start to produce tears. If you only shed a few, they might drain back into your punctums—the tiny tear duct openings at the inner corners of your eyes. But that reservoir fills up pretty quickly. And when it does, the tears will start to drip out of your eyes and stream down your face, Dr. Salber says. The tears will also start to flood your nasal cavity and come out of your nose.

Wept only for Stalin. He won the war. And the rest of the old people were buried at such a speed that they did not have time to recover.

interpretation of dreams about crying in a dream
You woke up in tears, the pillow was wet with tears, and in a dream - as you now recall - you cried all night long.
Of course, negative emotions and sadness in the heart will make you look in the dream books what, according to interpreters, crying and tears in a dream means. We advise you to remember, without getting out of bed, the details of your dream. Who made you cry? Was there a reason for this? Were the tears an autonomous dream, or did you, for example, cut an onion and burst into tears not from grief? And most importantly, did crying in a dream bring you relief, did you feel better? Or did the tears just make things worse?
And you should understand that sometimes sobbing in a dream is an excuse to throw out emotional tension. Pay attention to the signal of the body: perhaps in reality you are suppressing the desire to cry and complain, trying to seem stronger and torturing yourself too much. There is no need for feats, allow yourself to become weaker and deal with your experiences.
Why sobs dream
The interpretation of dreams about tears in a dream depends very much on who is sobbing in the space of your vision.
If a man dreams that a beautiful girl is crying next to him, then new and interesting acquaintances await him, they can change his life for the better. Is your mom crying? Think about changing your outlook on life, lifestyle, you may have gone the wrong way and lost your purpose in life. Another character whose tears in a dream matter is the bride, the girl in the wedding attire - expect problems on the personal front, the interpreters promise.
Did you see your parents crying in your dreams? For you, this means one thing - you have to overcome obstacles, luck has turned away and this is partly your fault. The mother who dreamed of you all in tears may indicate that ahead in your family are illnesses that will bring a lot of anxiety. And it is still worth taking care of your health, without waiting for cataclysms. If tears run down your sister’s cheeks, then you can be drawn into a conflict that you don’t need at all. Be firm and do not get into unnecessary arguments.
But the good news is that your dream about your boss crying brings you good news.
Wait for good news - maybe you will soon be able to sit in his chair.
Crying in a dream for a dead person - what does it mean
If you cry for a dead person in a dream, it means that in this way you get rid of negative emotions, thoughts, some life troubles. But the crying dead man (a person who is dead in reality) should make you alert and pay more attention to this dream. Most likely, conflicts, problems, aggression from other people await you. And if the crying dead man left and left you, he gives you a chance for a successful life and peace of mind.
If you had to mourn in a dream a person who is actually alive, do not be upset, this does not at all mean that death awaits him in reality. But serious problems can be associated with it, you will have to look for compromises in interaction.
At the same time, if you mourn a loved one, say goodbye to him - he is simply ready to change his life and, perhaps, his help is needed in this.
Why is a child crying in a dream
If in a dream you hear a baby crying, then good and good news awaits you. A pleasant surprise can come in a letter or parcel from afar. If you see a sobbing baby clearly, unfortunately, in life you will experience disappointments that may be associated with areas of life that are important to you.
If you only hear children's crying, then, on the contrary, it means that good news awaits you, something good will happen, and you will soon know about it.
Crying in a dream in Tsvetkov's dream book
In this tradition, crying in a dream is rather a good sign. He says that unexpected and pleasant news awaits you, joy, congratulations. If you sob at the top of your voice - expect happy news. A girl can only rejoice if in a dream she had a chance to see herself crying, in tears and sobs.
In life, this means that in reality her life will improve and everything will be fine. But to see a crying person in a dream, if it's not you, the predictors consider it not a very good sign. Most likely, you will offend someone greatly in word or deed. Be careful in your actions and words, do not hurt loved ones.
Tears in a dream in Astromeridian's dream book
Here they also talk about the circumstances in which you cry, who cries in a dream, and how much you cry. For example, if in a dream a crying ex-girlfriend appeared to you, this means the possibility of reconciliation in reality, if only for peace of mind and further friendship. And it’s even good for a woman to cry a lot in a dream - according to the predictors, she will have a quick marriage. Not a very favorable sign if you are crying out of concern for a person who is far away from you. Perhaps he is in trouble, and he should be warned about this.
Crying in a dream in Miller's dream book
But here crybabies who cannot stop even in a dream are not promised anything good.
If you cry in a dream, it means that in reality trouble awaits you, and you mourn it in advance. If people around you are crying, it means that they will sympathize with you in your trouble.
For an interpreter, tears in a dream are a kind of warning that cannot be ignored. You may portend a quarrel with strong crying in a voice that you saw in a dream. For a business person, crying in a dream means most likely the opportunity to face reality with troubles in business, problems in business. But if someone is crying next to you, and you console him - expect an early reconciliation with people important to you, good news. Or maybe someone will forgive you if you have been offended for a long time.
Crying in a dream in Freud's dream book
The interpretations in this dream book are very unexpected, especially for women of childbearing age. If you see that in a dream you are sobbing uncontrollably, it means that you want to become a mother, you are really looking forward to children and you are now in the most favorable period for conception.
If a man sees tears in a dream, then he is still a reveler, a person who is not ready for a serious relationship, he is interested in an intimate relationship on the side, relationships for one night, a large number of conquered ladies of the heart.
Crying in a dream in Vanga's dream book
Crying in a dream for the predictors of this tradition is the most auspicious sign. Moreover, the more you sob, the more good news or a pleasant event awaits you. Did a couple of tears fall from your eyes? Wait for a call with good news or a kind word at work. Are tears streaming down your cheeks? You will definitely have a reason for fun soon, everything will work out and be fine. Well, if you literally had a tantrum from tears, you can definitely expect a wedding - yours or someone close to you. And you will have a lot of fun with it.
Crying in a dream in Loff's dream book
Here, the predictors suggest focusing on exactly what you decide to cry in a dream because of.
And this occasion gives you the opportunity to think about the effect of sleep on reality. It is the cause of sobs that is a reflection of experiences in real life. And so you can find out what your subconscious mind is telling you: maybe you have been driving some kind of fear or experience into yourself for a long time. Well, that means it's time to get it to the surface, discuss it, think it over and... say goodbye to it forever.
Cry in a dream in the Dream Interpretation of a Siberian Healer
This interpreter says how important it is at what time of the year you have a dream about how you cry. So, a spring dream about tears speaks of the joy that awaits you in reality. Did you have a dream in the summer? You are waiting for a manifestation of violent emotions. In winter - fun awaits you in reality, in autumn - you can console yourself and find something to rejoice at.
Crying in a dream in Zhou-guang's dream book
This dream book also attaches importance to the circumstances in which you see tears in a dream.
