Do other women in their 30s ever cry for no clear reason?

I’m in my 30s, single, no kids, generally functioning fine in life… but lately I’ve noticed there are moments where I just suddenly feel this wave of emptiness. Sometimes I even cry without a clear trigger. Nothing particularly bad happened that day. It just sort of… shows up.

What’s strange is it’s not even always sadness. It’s more like this hollow, heavy feeling inside, and my mind feels almost lazy or blank. Like I don’t even have the energy to think about why I feel that way.

Then after a while it passes and I go back to normal.

I’m trying to figure out if this is something hormonal, emotional burnout, getting older, or if I’m just being overly dramatic with my feelings.

Does anyone else experience this? Or is this just one of those things people don’t really talk about? 🥲
