Thank you very much kalisha26. I forgot that it could be a subconscious cry of some sort... and I can see how something very tiny could even trigger it.

I don't have a therapist, even though I've thought about it... However my problems don't seem to be pressing enough yet to really seek one. I almost did a few years ago, but I was able to work through my issues and even seemingly 'fix' a good portion of them without a therapist. Right now I have a really supportive friend that checks on me and tries to make sure that I'm taking care of myself and that I have people to talk to. She's really awesome.

So thank you a lot. The suggestion that perhaps it's a way to feel grounded and connected really rang to me, so I'll continue to think about it and I appreciate your input a lot.
