Hi,we all know how it feels to be tired,no question,but have you all felt really emotionally tired?I have noticed that when I don't rest well,or when I am wearing down in the evening,sometimes I just want to cry-no reason.I also feel a bit depressed when I am like that-It is a state of emotional tiredness,like "I just want my soul to rest"kind of feeling.I want so much to feel emotionally well,whether the physical symptoms are still here or not,I want to have an inner good feeling.Some days I do,but when I am tired,it is hard to hold onto.How do you all deal with this?GOD will get me through,I just wonder how many years of symptoms I will have to deal with?

Hi LadyE,

I know what you mean about emotional tiredness after not sleeping or resting. I feel that way too. If I don't sleep well enough, I will likely start crying over nothing during the day. As the day goes on I will feel more and more overwelmed even though there's nothing wrong. I usually deal with it by giving everyone who will be near me that day a warning that there is a good likelihood that I am going to be having at least one "over flow" if not many. I also tell them to please just let me be if and when it occurs because if they're nice to me I'll just cry more. I also try to just get done what is necessary and don't beat myself up over it. If at all possible, I curl up in my bed and watch a good tear jerker movie - then I don't feel like I'm crying for nothing.

I hope these ideas help you.

I got in the shower and cried a bit,that way the kids were spared.I like the movie idea.Have you seen the Lake House,with Sandra Bullock-it makes me cry(like I need something to make me cry)lol.Thanks for the reply.

(((Lady E))), I was never a crier, I was juat a happy person!
Just cry a little while again after seeing the dog food commericial where the dogs are in a shelter and it say I'm a good dog and just want to go home! That made me so sad!
Never seen the lake house>
Someone said to watch Pollyanna>> I CRIED! Porr Pollyanna falling out of the tree and geting all depressed .......
So hard to watch anything on TV, this is crazy!

I am emotionally exhausted! Sometime I get that comfuse with depression!

I never was like this either,I always thought why do people cry over commercials,even when I was pregnant I didn't do that.Now I am weepy at least several times a week,if not once a day,it is getting better,and when I sleep I feel almost normal.lol

Oh my Gosh!!! You want to cry....watch Notebook!!!!!
