Does any one else ever have a day where everything simply feels like it's all too much?

I have these happen from time to time, and today is one of them. Just cry for no reason, or the slightest thing can set me off in tears.

It's so strange, and I hate it.

:(

Sort of. I don't believe I have PTSD, but there are days when I should feel fine and a blue mood just strikes me for no reason whatsoever, and I just want to be alone and listen to sad music and curl up in bed or a bath...

I often bury things that hurt deep inside myself and when it becomes too much it seems as if my mind shuts down and the emotions take over. On these days I run to the store and get me a big box of kleenex and the saddest movies ever made, I then sit in my room and throw myself one heck of the biggest pity parties you have ever seen. I cry and cry until I cannot cry anymore, the next day I drag myself out of bed and shower and treat myself to an easy day consisting of lunch with friends or family to perk me back up. The thing about controlled pity parties is they have a time line so you know it's not gonna last forever.

Nucking, reading this sparks a great revelation in me! I often have days when I fight tears and I know soon after awakening 'this is gonna be one of those days'. I could never figure out the whys and I've even taken off work knowing I was on overload emotionally and didn't want to push/embarass myself.

Normally I only let myself fall apart on the days when the kids are not around to see me, tears just falling, for seemingly no reason and I just accept it--don't understand the reason, just deal with it.

Thanks for taking the time to post the thread Viktoria.

It happens about twice a year for me I know exactly when it's coming and my husband will not let anyone disturb me not only am I scarry sight during these days but I'm also a little on the cranky side if you get my meaning...my husband just tells my kids it's mommies day to be alone.
