Is it normal to cry in the shower?

almost everytime i take a shower i sit there and cry or i take a shower just to cry unless its a really good day. my parents bitch that im wasting water but i dont know how to explain to them that i sit there and cry my eyes out with the music blasting for like an hour. i dont want them to like put me on pills or something and i hate talking about my feelings. it makes me feel uncomfortable and weak which is why i cry in the shower.

i hate crying in front of people so all the little things build and build and build until i just explode. so sometimes i take a shower just to cry in private. other times when i take a shower i force myself to cry to get it out so that i dont cry in front of people from one too many little things.

and another thing is that i blast sad songs by like simple plan and stuff to kinda hint to them that somethings wrong and i dont think they get it. they dont even say anything and i just dont even know what to do with my life anymore. it just doesnt seem to have a point.

  • Maybe your suffering from Some depression? I'd suggest talking to someone. I have depression and even though I didn't want to, talking to a therapist really helped me. It's ok to cry I'm the shower if you need too. I understand completely how it's easier to cry alone than in public.

  • I do that too, I HATE crying in front of people but I'm not near as depressed as you're describing. I'd just talk to someone.

    Yeah, I've done that before, but it was to drown out the sound of me crying, although I did try to cry loudly so that people can here. Like I wanted to be approached by a family member and talk to them, but I was too afraid. That was during an extremely stressful time though, so I don't think it's should be normal. Maybe do what some other people have suggested? Make new friends? Talk to friends?

    I do it too. I think the water hitting my face helps. At the same time I feel comforted by the water.

    You should talk to someone, a good friend is a good start. But crying in the shower is a normal response to your feelings. I do it as well when I am upset but it doesn't sound like it happens ad often for me as it does you. Your parents might think your music is just a fad or the trend, maybe even something your friends convinced you was cool. They aren't always as perceptive as we hope. They also are sometimes too caught up in their own lives. My father didn't know I was depressed until a year after i was on meds, or that he was the reason for me fainting and that happened three times. Both of them didn't notice when I cut. They just aren't as good at picking up on hints anymore.
    If you really don't feel like talking about your feelings even to a friend speaking to inanimate objects or writing on a journal like format helps.

    I have a feeling this is just teen angst. We all go through it. It will go away once you're out of the house.

    At first i thought it was hilarious until i got to the the part where it seemd that you were struggling with your life, that jus changed my perception on this situation and took it serious. i think you should talk to someone you trust and who gives good advice.

    I'm going to take an educated guess that you're female, 15-17 years old, spoiled by your parents, and you are either a goth or an emo.
