I cry in front of the mirror..

10 Comments

I've been really depressed for the past few years, where i feel empty all the time, and when i'm not empty i just feel complete sorrow, to the point where it feels like it hurts in my bones.I don't have anyone to confide in, no friends,no real family relationships. i find that when i'm sad i usually just sit in front of the mirror for hours sometimes and just watch myself cry.
I don't feel comforted or enjoy looking at myself [i look ugly when i cry]
but for some reason i keep doing it.

anyone else do this?

    Yeah, when I'm upset I go infront of the mirror and have a good cry. This might sound weird, (please don't think I'm 5 years old) but when I'm upset I talk to my Teddies about it, somehow it helps to talk about it to someone who I know won't misunderstand or make a sarcastic comment.

    I've done that before. It's always a good idea to get someone to talk to though. try making friends. If your depressed you should definately try talking to a doctor about it.

    Yes. Not all of the time and I don't do it so much anymore.

    How old are you? Do you live alone? Even having people around can make things a little better, even if you're not confiding in anyone. It might be an idea to talk to your doctor about how you are feeling. Is this possible for you? Don't be embarrassed - they have heard it all before and you are not alone in feeling this way.

    I will actually be your friend if you are that upset, seriosuly :) I understand where you are coming from. I occasionally feel like that too. However, I think seeing myself crying makes me feel more upset and encourage the crying to continue for longer.

    I know this may not be the place to say this but I couldn't help thinking it when I came across your story. I'm a Christian and I believe that God made everyone of us with a desire to be with him in our hearts. I also believe that when we feel empty, that this is him prompting us to look for him. Often we try and fill that emptiness with other people, movies, food, tv, books, alcohol, drugs, anything but I believe that the only way to feel whole is to start to get to know him through his word and his son Jesus. I've often felt how you have, especially after my father passed away, and I've found that just picking up a bible and reading some of the New Testement really helps me to feel whole again. It's your choice ultimately, but I think it would really help you.
