OK....maybe the fact that when I got there I find out that my dentist has just up and left the state and no one bother to let me know. Yesterday I'm having a great day and all my medical doctor did was ask how things were going in my personal life and my eyes fill and....there we go again.
For me it seems to be a problem when the attention is all of a sudden turned in my direction whether I initially fell in control or not.

Yes there's is definitely another reason for it other than depression for a lot of people. For me it is because anger and confrontation is a trigger for me, my mothers ex had the most demonic anger you ever saw, funnily enough as much as I REMEMBER it, I don't remember it vividly. But it was bad. So anger scares me, my heart starts going a million miles a minute, I start shaking, and then I burst into tears. Then after it's all over, I'll get a bad stomach ache. Depending on the situation it can all last for up to 2 days. But this time I've done really well, I didn't cry, and I'm almost over it after a few hours. I think my other problem with confrontation is that as much as I try to avoid it, when I see it I feel the need to be protective, the thought of the victim feeling embarrassed and worked up makes me uncomfortable. Even though logically most people aren't going to get as worked up as I do.
