I cry quite a bit in therapy, too (and some outside of therapy). I think it's actually more of a good thing because it's a safe place to let those emotions out. When I was a kid, I was taught to keep my emotions inside, which I don't think is healthy.

This would be a good topic to discuss with your therapist, how you associate crying with being child-like. And how you feel you can't do things that "normal" adults are able to do.


Also, out of curiosity, is ADHD something they screened for? It's something that can interfere with doing some things like finding/keeping jobs. And it often presents differently in women than in men. Just a thought!
