I sometimes cry at night

Dont get me wrong, im not lonely, i have plenty of friends, i dont think im depressed, yet at night when im alone i sometimes break down and dont understand why.
when i get that upset i feel really depressed, but when i wake up in the morning. i cant remember why i was so upset in the first place.
is it normal and anyone got any advice?

    Sometimes it is a stress reliever, just to cry. It has helped me on many occasions.

    I do the same thing... It's like it's my own private quiet time to decompress & let it all out..

    Normal, it happens to me. It's because of everything U go through in life, it becomes overwhelming & eventually Ur gonna break down but it's totally fine. It's better than just holding it in.

    Strange. I've never been one to cry much, but for past couple of months I've had sudden crying spells in the morning, usually an hour or so after awakening, and often get emotional over subjects that usually don't bother me much. I think a lot of mine is stress. It's totally subconscious, at least for a while. Try and look at the things in your life that COULD BE stressors, even if you don't think that they apply. You may come to see that you've hidden them as if they don't exist. Goes to show you really can't hide anything as it always reveals itself somehow, and moreso, there's nothing you.eould want to hide even if you could.

    I know what you mean. I know I have all my friends who love me and are about me, but when your alone at night, you just want that one type of person who will hold (or you'll hold) you while you fall asleep. It sucks, but is totally worth it once you find that person.

    It happens to the best of us.
    Important to let your emotions out when you can, and I think a lot of people cry at night because the bed tends to be a safe, isolated place.

    Yeah sure, I'm exactly like you.
    Before I sleep, my mind goes wild and I'll feel really lonely and left out. Like no one wants me but that really isn't the case. I'll break down into tears and cry myself to sleep.

    Sometimes I think it is just that we are overwhelmed or worried about something. Sometimes when I get like that, I don't even know what I am worried about. But I sometimes have that feeling of impending doom. And I think it is just being overwhelmed or worried about something in my daily life. You are very normal.
