unknown problem

[griffon]

I've got a high level of stress because of my grandfather being in the hospital. The thing I am wondering about is sometimes I start to cry for no reason, not because of my grandfather but because of something else. It is random and happens uncontrollably even if I'm feeling happy. It gets to the point that I'm having my hands over my head in my room on my bed and it lasts for 10 minute intervals and sometimes I cry myself to sleep. Could anxiety be causing this? I feel very alone and hopeless and sometimes void. I don't feel anything but I'm still crying and I don't know why I'm crying but I know I'm going through an emotional breakdown over something I don't know about. It is affecting everything and I feel like I'm in a constant state of dread. I'm 20 years old and this is the first time I've been feeling this way. Its making me afraid. Please help me...I don't know what to do.

hi
I could be due to a number of reasons such as

1) Acute Stress Reaction

2) Adjustment disorder (you find difficult to adjust to the situation in which your grandfather being in hospital.

3) Mood disorders like depression.

How long have you been feeling like this?

People can feel happy and sad from time to time and it can be part of normal life.

Mood disorders include depression, manic episodes etc... If your mood is low for at least 2 weeks , you might suffer from clinical depression. If your mood is quite high with its associated biological symptoms for a few days for so , you might suffer from mania/hypomania.

These are very bad symptoms at a young age of mental disorders.Are you suffering from stress or tension.You should urgently talk to your elders about this problems & your famliy doctor.I suggest you to approach the psychiatric treatment & get well soon.This is a serious problem & needs to cured soon.

I would suggest you to do some yoga and you can take help of some videos of yoga by Indian experts, I had same problem in past and I tried it. Really it worked for me and I hope it will work for you also.
