I just wish I knew why I cry every single day. I am on effexor xr and have been for quite a few years. I am just so sensitive. It doesn't take much of anything and I am crying. I cry if I think about my ugly stretchmarks even. I cry because I don't feel like I get enough attention from anyone. I want to talk to a therapist, but it is so expensive. Is it maybe an imbalance of hormones that is causing this? I am just wondering. I've been this way for so many years. People just say I am sensitive, but I think it is more than that.
I'm sorry you've been feeling bad Maybe you should talk to your Dr about it. Maybe it's just something as easy as changing your meds.

Cheryl, I agree with Holland, maybe the Effexor is not the right anti-depressant for you. I was on Effexor quite a few years ago and felt worse on it. Now I'm on Wellbutrin and I love it...I feel great and have little to no side-effects while taking it. You may want to have a visit with your doctor to explore some other AD options for you.
As for a therapist, there are oftentimes clinics in most cities that offer services to folks on a sliding scale fee based on their income. You may want to contact your local mental health association or check the yellow pages for these clinics. Good luck to you...I'm sure happier days are ahead for you!
sometimes I cry everyday too for weeks at a time. For me it is a feeling of hopelessness. I am on an old anti depressant amitriptyline for my bladder. It helps w/ pain but no mood swings. If are not able to afford a therapist, there are some community mental health services (like siam mentioned) that are free that I have heard of where I live, where they do counseling & diff. things. I think that if something good happened to me (more often) I would feel better & not handle things that way or be as sensitive myself. When u r happy & things happen that put a smile on ur face, u have a little more strength inside to deal w/ the bad things. I hope u are able to feel better so you're not as sad!!!

I was crying constantly. I cry all day for a few weeks then I am happy. But it comes back once in awhile. I was diagnosed with PCOS about a month ago, and has somewhat made me feel better knowing that it has nothing to do with me just my hormones.

Your hormone imbalance could be related to your PCOS diagnosis. If it's the depression, you may not be on the right antidepressant. I know I was on antidepressants for years and they didn't work for me. I, like you, cried for weeks, couldn't get out of bed, felt hopeless, and just didn't know what was wrong. I also had weeks where I felt happy, excited, almost euphoric, went with friends, sometimes spent money, shopping, movies, and then after a few weeks, back to the bed not taking any phone calls. Finally in 2006 I was diagnosed with BiPolar, started seeing my Psychiatrist monthly, then every 3 months, and also seeing a Psychologist every 2wks (even to this day, he's like my best friend and he lets me talk about anything and everything) and it's all covered by my health care insurance other than my $5 copay. Also my medication was changed and I feel so much better and my doctor & I finally have a handle on not just my PCOS, but me being me! I feel very normal for the 1st time in a very long time. Now this is just my experience, but I wish someone would have diagnosed me and treated me long before 2006. That NORMALCY would've come alot quicker.
Take Care & ((((BIG HUGS)))

I suggest you get your hormones checked. Also I would suggest checking out a sliding scale therapist. I understand today I kept crying when I was watching the year in reviews on tv. I have no clue why. When I didn't cry as this stuff happened but I also know that recently i've been down but it might just be that they need to adjust your meds

I was going through daily crying spells months ago. I kept putting off seeing a therapist because I was concerned about how I would pay for it - money being one of the many thing depressing me. But I did it. I am still close to broke, but I feel my mental health is worth it. Also, now that I am doing better I find it easier to set a budget or stay in and save cash without crying about it.
I would suggest looking into a therapist and thinking of some ways to cut back spending to afford therapy as well as looking into the meds. It is worth it!
I cry EVERY DAY 
Maybe you should talk to your Dr about it. Maybe it's just something as easy as changing your meds.
