Is it normal to keep crying over stupid little things like not finding hot water for shower or no mint for tea or no reason in particular?

[Anonymous]

I think I'm brokenhearted, and I'm sick of it. Does anyone know how long it takes before I stop crying over everything? Or know a way to control the tears?

Either wait it out or change your mindset.
Learn to laugh at those stupid little things and see then for what they are. Minor inconveniences that happen and will continue to happen.

Accept and internalize the phrase "shit happens". Including your break up.
Self pity is the worst thing you can do to yourself

We all feel sorry for ourselves sometimes, but for some people it's a lifestyle and they start to enjoy it

[Asker]

I don't pity myself. I'm just hurt and was looking for ideas to make it go away.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

I just told you

[WanderingLoveWizard]

It's how I learned to go on after my girlfriend shot herself. So if it worked for me, it can work for you.
But good luck. You'll figure it out

[Asker]

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Can't imagine what you must have dealt with.
Thank you.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Thank you, but I'm ok. I was just using it as an extreme example to show it can work.

You're welcome, it's all gonna be fine. Trust me

[Asker]

I'm glad. Thank you.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Sorry, last thing. I hope you didn't think I was minimizing your feelings. I know how much break ups hurt

[Asker]

No problem. It's only because it's the first time. I'll be better soon. I'll just give it time and it will all fade away.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Absolutely, it will 👍

[slatyb]

Yes, it is. But it's not the small things that are frustrating you. There's something larger that you feel powerless to change so your anger comes out at small frustrations. I've been there. You need to find the courage to resolve your real anger.

If you can try counseling/therapy. Now is better than later. Not every provider is right for every client, so you may have to meet more than one before you find someone you want to see.

How have you dealt with heartache in the past?

[Asker]

This happen to be my first time

[OlderAndWiser]

Breaking up: you may want to die. . . but you won't, so do yourself a favor and deal with it! ↗

Do deep breathing exercises to control your anxiety. Eat bananas to control your serotonin levels to increase your serotonin levels. That helps control your depression.

The first step is meaning mindful of it. And you already made a lot of progress there. I think you'll be able to get through it.

It means you're emotionally overwhelmed. Go off by yourself for a week.

[SnowedIn]

Time. That's the only answer.

[SnowedIn]

And, also, I'm sorry you're dealing with this. No fun.

[Asker]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[UniquelyBasic]

Easy... just stop crying so damn much 🤗

[Asker]

I wouldn't ask if it was that easy !

[gothbxtch]
