Hi Lmo, I get those crying jags, as part of my depression cycle, the bad ones. This doesn't likely connect to your weight, health, ex or anything else for that matter. Although, it's easy enough for me to name anything I look at as "the reason" when the tears are flowing unchecked, in the end it was just me.

If you are on meds, my guess would be that an adjustment might be in order. There are some things like Zyprexa which are versatile in that they will stop a variety of inner "disturbances" and right away. What you describe sounds like that kind of crisis to me.

I guess all I really have to offer here is the idea that looking at the "why's" for your tears doesn't seem fruitful. I don't get that this is "about" anything. Does that make sense?

I cried for two weeks straight once. I'm afraid of that now every time I cry over a sad movie. "What if I never stop?" For me, its a brain chemistry shift.

TC, you'll be right again, but soon I hope.
