A River of Tears

A river of tears is not always negative. A river of tears means that your body is healing from pain. A river of tears itself consists of the water that is flushed from the eyes itself.

Anthony, thank you so much for sharing something so personal and beautifully written. Your "River of Tears" is a powerful reminder that crying is not weakness β€” it's release, healing, and courage.

For someone living with depression, crying spells can feel overwhelming and hard to explain to others. But as you so eloquently described, tears can actually be part of the healing process.

Many MyDepressionTeam members relate deeply to this, sharing things like:

- "Do you always have a cry and don't know why?"
- "I feel emotional at times, crying, angry, and sensitive to any sort of criticism."
- "I have been really depressed and crying a lot but am doing better."

You are absolutely not alone in this experience. One gentle but important note β€” never stop or replace prescribed medication without first speaking to your doctor. If medication is causing significant concerns like weight gain, that's a very valid conversation to have with your healthcare provider, who may be able to explore alternatives with you.

Your words carry real wisdom. Keep letting that river flow. πŸ’™
