Thank you for sharing this @eksistor - you are not the only one.

I have lost both my parents in the last few years and I am surprised how deep the grief ran. I sometimes use humor to brighten my mood but feelings can open up feelings in surprising ways. There is no way to predict how something we read or see can elicit that crying response. It happens. I tend to feel better after that but it comes out of seemingly nowhere.

I try to avoid intoxicants because it tends to distort the events of my life and amplify feelings including depression because I cannot maintain a happy feeling with intoxicants.
