Suggest Remedy For Mental Health Problem
Sometimes after I ve watched the finale of a programme I get upset. I may cry the next morning and feel kind of sad for a day. I have no idea why this happens but I m quite a sensitive person and I can get very emotional. I watched the finale of the programme Avatar: The Last Airbender a week and a half ago. Ever since then I cry at night and cry in the morning and if I m alone at any point in the day I feel like crying or am crying. I have no idea why this happens and I m desperately looking for an answer... I don t want to feel like this anymore. Please help me.

Hello,
I think that your symptoms are suggestive of depression but you have not mentioned any similar history in past. It will be good to get few basic blood tests- CBC,TSH, and Vit. B12 levels.
also check if you have started any new drug or OCP (hormonal contraceptives): then that too can be the reason behind the mood alterations.
if everything above is negative then it is a clearcut case of depressive disorder and you will become lot better with medicines.
please get the tests and proceed accordingly.
till then avoid staying alone and watching emotional serials or movies;try to socialize.
Wish you good health
