It's a medical condition.
And I’ve had it all my life. When I was a kid, I would have spells when I’d cry over trivial things. Weather. Mild criticism. Someone not responding when I said their name. And I’d get lectured for being overly sensitive. (Gee, thanks.)
It’s come and gone over the past fifty (Jesus!) years. I’m medicated now. I have a wonderful wife, two outstanding stepchildren, and for the most part a pretty good life.
And my f—king brain won’t let me enjoy ANY OF THAT right now, the sh—-y thing in my head keeps screaming “YOU ARE OLD AND DYING AND THE WORLD SUCKS!” at me. I want to go to a psych ward and get doped up to the point of comatose. But that would ruin the holidays for a lot of people.
Yes, I’ve seen my doctor, he’s increased my dosage. He’s recommending online therapy for my sh—-y obsessive thoughts. Maybe I’ll do it.
Thank you for reading. You all help me very much by letting me know there are people facing much bigger problems with a strength I could never summon. I want you to know I admire you, and you aren’t alone. If and when I shake this bout of sh—-iness, I’ll still be thinking of you. May you all stay strong.

I think some ppl are too sensitive for this shitty world.. feel free to share her anytime. 
love my counselor, he's my touchstone. I feel better after we talk. I have been seeing him since 2018, and we meet every 4 to 6 weeks now, started out weekly. I urge you to follow up with that. Talking it out really helps in my experience. I don't know how I would have gotten through the first few years after my daughter was killed without it. I may never have found the courage to end my bad marriage. and so on.
Also, if you are inclined, writing can be helpful.
last but not least: there's a LOT to cry about at this moment in history. you are not alone.
