Default Laughing and crying at the same time?

No, I don't mean tears of joy.

Sometimes, when I'm alone with my husband I get overwhelemed with this feeling of hopelessness and sorrow so I cry AS WELL with a coinciding feeling of... well, the feeling that makes you laugh out loud, that tickling sensation that something is funny (while i'm not thinking about anything funny, at all) that just makes me start laughing. This has happened maybe 3 or 4 times in the past month. After this un controllable and confusing behavior is overwith, I feel exhausted and just rest or sometimes fall asleep.

It's really arre and freaks him out. Could it be some sort of stress releif or a signal of a mood disorder? Has anyone experienced anything similar?

My wife has done this a few times. Don't worry, you're not alone. It just happens from time to time. Doesn't mean anything really. Probably just God finding you in an intensely sad moment and giving you something to laugh about.

Cheers.

Women are emotional, it could be that its a time of the month that the hormones are in overdrive.... its normal. Feelings of overwhelming happiness can sometimes spark fear or grievences which could make you over emotional. If its an ongoing up and down emotion thats where it could possible be a disorder. Highs then you feel very low, bipolar, which is controllable with medication. Thats something you can look into if you feel that may be something you are suffering from.

Thumbs up Emotional Rollercoaster!

There is nothing wrong with crying and laughing at the same time. It's like you're being overcome by a combination of emotions, stress and/or tiredness and your body doesn't know how to react. I've only experienced it twice in my life, and both of those times occured within a five day time frame. The first time I was extremely tired & my sister was talking about a slightly saddening childhood event in a comical manner. I wanted to laugh 10x more than cry but I began to do the two uncontrollably for 5 minutes. Then a few days later I was still kind of tired, stressed out about college and dissappointed. I was thinking about how dissappointed I was (in regards to a friend's actions. It really wasn't that big of a deal) when tears started streaming down my face. Then seconds later, I realized I didn't really want to cry over something so simple and began laughing uncontrollably AGAIN (thankfully I was alone that time). But I felt sooo relieved from all the stress afterwards. Certainly, it's not a mental or emotional problem. I think it's just a healthy, God given way of releasing stress. Even if you feel kind of cooky or silly after crying and laughing, just remember it's normal and perfectly fine to do.

But you have to admit...it's a great feeling! It like a natural high.
