I’m so sorry TishaBuv, though I think it’s good you can at least trace it to specific instances in your life.

I have certain triggers, too. Not always sure what they are though. It’s hardest to control when I try to talk right after being triggered and then I can’t help but cry. This just encourages me to keep quiet and it’s unhealthy since it can already be challenging for me to speak up with others.

I remember crying a lot as a young child, then I just stopped until pretty recently. It’s hard to remember anything specific as a child, maybe just general neglect by my parents. Now that I realize what happened (narcissistic abuse), I feel like a weepy mess again - kind of reverting to childhood feelings again I guess.
