And no girl, that's nothing wrong with it.
This from someone who just have stopped having the worst year of her entire life. I cried for EVERYTHING for an entire year. Everything. And not nice and cute tears, no, big, fat and hot tears rolling down my cheeks, really annoying (and in retrospective, shameful to be honest).
I guess that, since I tried not to cry for 3 years in a row (long story, father very sick, now well and healthy), I just reached a level in each everything seemed a tragedy (no support from relatives and friends, money problems, school problems, things would normally make you sad, but they made feel very sad, I mean, miserable). So I cried like a baby. But you know, it was ok because I just got rid of everything that was bothering me and I have been perfect for a month, taking everything like it is and not feeling sad for something silly (like your best friend saying that he was coming to visit and then didn't and then not even calling to apologize. And no, that didn't happen today, earlier on the week. My BFF Beer has nothing to do with the a**. She just came for a visit today, she's nice, not like my friend), just feeling sad for the things that count (like Mufasa dying ).
So, everyone, cry if you have to, if you are sad for something or just feel emotional. Or just because you want to. Just let the tears keep on rolling because they tend to get bottled up, and that, in the wise Martha's words, is not a good thing.
I didn't match the diagnosis of Depression, only with part of the diagnosis of Anxiety (because I was 100% functional and around people I was my old self, when I was alone, that was the problem, among other things). I really don't want to know what Depression feels like, it must be horrible. I mean, I know it's horrible, I have seen it, not only in patients, but relatives and friends, but actually suffering it, gosh.
I did get help though. I recommend that to everyone if they need it, there's nothing wrong with getting help. I just talked about my problems and let them out. Having someone neutral and professional to hear me out was just what I needed, someone to help me get perspective of things. Now I just take everything as them come, and from whom is coming. I'm my old self now, hence the "dead inside" comment, because before I was a rock, or at least I thought I was, becuase I cried for Sirius before by bad year. Sirius!!!!

but i also have this problem that because i have such amazing comebacks i can't help using them. i have no intention of being mean, but if someone says something and a witty/mean remark comes into my head its hard for me not to blurt it out. my friends have learned to not take any offense, but strangers might hate me cause they don't understand that im never serious. thats why i love people who get me right off the bat, i don't have to worry about hurting their feelings just because i pretend that i want to cut them up into little pieces ha
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it
I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me"
