Crying definitely helps me, and I've never had a problem with being able to do it. It's not always socially appropriate, though, and that's what frustrates me, when it happens in situations where I need to maintain composure. I mean, I can't cry in a meeting with my boss because someone in the hallway raises their voice!

I do see that my reactivity will decrease with time, as my treatment continues and my ability to cope with triggers improves. Still, it's so frustrating to feel like I'm the crazy girl! Resistance of my symptoms won't change them, though, so I've got to find a way to accept them and manage them.
