Crying is healthy and there is nothing wrong with crying when you are sad or during a wedding and watching a movie. But if you've ever just sat in traffic waiting for a light to turn green and suddenly started crying, it can be unnerving. You've probably asked yourself "why am I crying for no reason?"
Experts give 5 reasons for uncontrollable crying, which we reveal below.
1. Hormones
The days before the menstrual cycle cause different emotions. As estrogen and progesterone levels change, it can cause irritability, low mood and crying.
2. Depression
Sadness causes tears, that much is clear. But when sadness lasts for weeks or months, it can signal a deeper type of despair or depression.
3. Stress
Stress is a completely normal reaction of emotions, thoughts and behavior to internal and external factors that temporarily shake the individual's balance. If you are under a lot of stress and you don't know how to deal with it and you push all the problems under the carpet, you may end up crying all the time.
4. Anxiety
Do you have frequent heart palpitations, stomach cramps and a lack of self-confidence that limits you in your daily life? Maybe you worry too much, causing you anxiety that leads to sudden crying.
5. Fatigue
Crying bouts can also be associated with irritability and sadness associated with lack of sleep.
