I get sad all the time,but a part of me enjoys it? Is it normal?

I don't know if it's depression or anxiety but i think a lot over small things up to a point that i would take almost 2 hours to fall asleep. Also sometimes in my sleep (probably half awake) i would have thoughts abt the things i was thinking abt before i went to sleep. I also feels like i wanna die. But my suicidal thoughts,they come and go,and as of now,i 'm okay. And i get sad easily,i cry easily and my chest would hurt so much,i felt suffocated and my whole body hurts whenever i cry that i actually became traumatized of crying. But what really bothers me is that whenever i cry, especially when i cried badly,a part in me actually enjoys it. To be frank,i actually like crying,no,i like feeling sad and emotional (this might sound psycho,but i get a sense of proudness after crying). I will find myself putting on songs that will make me cry and i would watch movies or dramas that would make me tear up. I would read sad poems and then cry the whole evening. I know crying released stress but i do it almost everyday and i think it's unhealthy. Is this normal or am i sick? Pls help me.

I cry a lot too and my mind use to race like yours does before you go to sleep the doctor can alleviate that thought process. Panic attacks and anxiety attacks cause the chest to hurt but I would get that checked out by a doctor. As far as liking it, it could be a release for you

When we cry, that can ease stress or Anxiety, whe we stop we can feel much better, easing our emotions helps us move on, crying can also emotions can initiate various chemeicls in our blood supply that give us a sensation of well being.

If you feel suicidal every now and then that can be a gut feeling when we are feeling low and this sensation will pass, after for example crying. However a feeling that instigates a possible suicide attempt should always be taken seriously, you need help. Make an appointment with your GP and make a list explaining your fears anxiety and suicidal feelings, these need to be taken into consideration, yo may need help.

If you feel really bad and need advice out of hours call your out of hours Doctor and explain what is going on. The other pathwa is to call NHS Information Line on Tel 111 and tell them how you are feeling and they will ask questions and work out the best action to take.
