When i was younger, i cried a lot

When I was younger, maybe from ages 4-7, I cried myself to sleep about every other night and had nightmares because of fear of people I love dying (Mainly my mother). I'm wondering why this was, and how it may have impacted my life today.

Is It Normal?

    I cried myself to sleep as a teenager, but I find I got a better night's sleep then than I do now.
    Crying wears you down considerably and could have just been your brain's way of getting hysterical.

    I learned not to do it as much, tho. It get me nowhere and only makes me look like a baby.

    I did that too. Normal. A kid going from thinking they were immortal to knowing they will die is traumatic for a young kid. Especially when people bring up going to Heaven or Hell to them at a young age.

      It's not a competition.
