I realised that I have been crying for no strong reason… this happened a few times over the past 2 months and when it starts I cannot stop the tears… I don’t feel extremely sad, hence I and not sure why I cannot stop crying, but I feel empty and stuck during such scenarios.

Hi @Ling2024,
First of all, thank you for sharing what you’re experiencing—it sounds really overwhelming to go through these crying episodes without fully understanding why they’re happening. Especially when the tears don’t seem connected to any strong feelings of sadness. It’s actually more common than you might think for emotions to come up unexpectedly, even when we’re not consciously aware of what’s causing them.
From what you’ve shared, it sounds like you’re feeling emotionally stuck and maybe even a little disconnected from what’s really going on inside. That feeling of emptiness you mentioned could be a sign that you’re holding onto unprocessed emotions—sometimes when we don’t fully address what’s going on internally, our bodies find ways to release it, like through tears.
One thing that might help is giving yourself the space to explore what might be beneath the surface. Have you noticed if there’s anything in particular—whether it’s a situation, a memory, or even just certain moments—that makes you feel a bit more emotional lately? Even if you don’t feel super sad, there could be small, subtle things weighing on you.
It’s also important to be kind to yourself through this. These tears aren’t a sign of weakness or that something is wrong with you—they’re your body’s way of expressing emotions that might not yet be clear to your mind. Maybe you’re dealing with stress, changes, or even just a sense of feeling stuck in life, and your body is letting you know that it needs a release.
If it feels helpful, you could try journaling or reflecting after these moments to see if anything comes up for you. And of course, if you ever feel like it’s becoming too much or that you want to talk to someone, reaching out for support is always an option. Sometimes it takes a bit of exploring before we can fully understand what we’re going through.
Take your time with this, and remember that it’s okay not to have all the answers right away. Your feelings are valid, even when they’re hard to understand. You’re doing the best you can, and that’s more than enough.
