Intense Periods of Sadness
I've never been diagnosed with any mental disorder but I have noticed periods of very strong depressive tendencies. Lately I have been getting intense 5-10 minute periods of crippling sadness and overthinking that I can't stop, during these periods my chest and hands physically hurt and I almost always cry uncontrollably, though they have triggers the triggers are usually very mildly annoying at most and I would never even react to them in a normal circumstance.

Feeling low, having crying spells, sleep and appetite disturbances, and difficulty in concentration and attention are some of the signs of Depression. Consult a Psychiatrist for a detailed assessment. It is likely with medication and counseling the symptoms will improve. If you are feeling suicidal or hopeless consult a Psychiatrist immediately.
