Crying for three days: One of the common symptomns of depression is being over-emotional and anxiety ( overreaction basicly ) You might be suffering from a depression which is probably caused by a lack of serotonin and that is why people are used to treat depression with anti-depressants. But there is one thing you must know about before thinking about taking meds. Depression and anxiety can be both treated with talk therapy. So i suggest seeing a therapist pror taking any medications but you must consult a doctor first since i'm not a doctor and im only giving you suggestions. Another suggestion i give to everyone, and i have a feeling that some people will get tired of hearing that, is physical activity ( the body produces hormones that are essential for healthy mind-body during excersing ) and healthy diet. Our body was designed to move and to eat bio to it is all things you can work on prior engaging a therapy with medication. Note that a medication therapy with anti-depressant means at least 6 months taking the medications and sometimes have really bad side effect and it can take several trials to find the right meds for you
