Crying
Is anyone able to offer advice about my situation?
I have cried more times in the past five months than I have in the previous fifteen years. Sometimes I cry while trying to fall asleep. Other times I cry while walking around my streets at night after work. Crying makes me feel better for an hour or so afterwards, but in the days between I resume my sadness which leads to more crying.
To the best of my knowledge, I cry because I haven't achieved fulfillment of my needs and desires. I know what I need to improve my happiness but apparently don't have the practical skills to achieve it. Sometimes I feel I am mistreated by other people and no matter how assertive I try to be they are intentionly averse to my rights. I have tried strategies to improve my situation, but they seem to suppress my sad emotions, which eventually leads to more crying.
I wish I knew how to stop being sad.
