Question 2

Accepted Answer

Maybe depression?: Many people experiencing anxiety/depression have crying episodes for no apparent reason. They just feel sad and start crying even-though there may not be any reason to be sad or cry about. Depression presents itself differently at different stages of life, but crying is quite common. I suggest you contact your doc for an evaluation and possible treatment. I wish you the best of luck.

Question 3

would crying excessively cause a breakdown?

Question 7

why am i so full of moods? kf im not full of moods then im crying or being rude?

Accepted Answer

1st Feel better, ok?: It may take some time to figure out reasons, and that might help, but it is not necessarily the first order of business. You need to find some support and relief. Talk to a therapist, a doctor, a counselor or clergy.  After you are less upset, it will be easier to decide if there is a need for meds. You don't need to feel so bad. Good luck.

Question 10

why is my baby crying so much?

Accepted Answer

CNS immaturity: Evidence suggests that most babies cry "too much" in the first 3 months because they can't calm themselves once they become "sensory overloaded". In fact, the icd (international classification of diseases) has recently recognized this and designates it fussy baby syndrome: 780.91.
