Maybe I am the only one but I doubt it … maybe it’s the meds … maybe it’s my depression … maybe I am just crazy as a loon …

I find that I cry and choke up at a drop of a hat … a song .. a movie … especially my girl ( a song ,,, just even an interview … hearing her voice ) I am so emotional when I feel this way I can barely breath … when I can I sometimes find myself yelling out loud … besides my girl the other triggers seem to have no real rhyme or reason … Tigger .

That happens to me sometimes. I blame it on the moods.

I have waves of that come and go on no particular cycle.

I cry at the drop of a hat - any tug-at-the-heart commercials, at things of great beauty or the most sorrowful.

I don’t do yelling much. Not in the past 20-years.

But I’ll be beside you with the tissue box.

I used to be like that.

I still have trouble listening to some of the songs in Evanescence's catalog (but I listen anyway).

Your girl is a professional singer? She gives interviews?

That’s pretty cool.

***If you could see it you’d understand***

Same here but not always. I try to speak and I feel my face getting hot and by then, it's too late. I'm an explosion of tears. Holding it all in always ends with destruction. But given the right topic, I will break down. I don't even want to mention music, because I'm slowly falling out of LOVE for it. It's got to that point where I distrust the things I love............

I’m a big crier. I can’t go to fundraisers because they tell sad stories that make me cry so hard.

I cried at a company meeting once where the company showed video of people’s houses they took away on judgments because they owed money to the co.

I cry in the movie theater a lot.

Ugh.

I'm a nightmare I cry at a drop of a hat. It gets ridiculous. I feel people are saying "get over it already" and I wish I could. Life is so emotional

[Unrigged64072835]

I do too. Generally I avoid those things, though I probably shouldn't because I haven't cried in a long time.

I found out with my PTSD I can be triggered by anything meant to stir up the emotions. I remember watching Anger Management in the psych ward, and laughing so much that my chest tightened and I couldn't breathe.

I can relate to this, keytones.
I am very sensitive when it comes to other peoples' struggles and misfortunes. Sometimes, I cry when someone on PC is having an especially difficult time, or when their story touches my heart.

I like to cry and get the relief. It feels very "cleansing" to me.

Thanks for this thread, wiretwister!

I think a lot of us have, at one point, taken medication that has made us too stable (i.e., flat). Or we were so used to having unstable, extreme mood swings that we didn't know what regular everyday emotion was. I mean, how can you know what "happy" feels like when you're euphoric from mania, or "sad" when you're depressed/mixed? And how can we know what "happy" and "sad" feel like when we're flat?

Those feelings of euphoria and depression are two extremes... so it's kind of hard to know what regular happy/sad emotions feel like. And not feeling anything means we're not used to feeling "happy" or "sad." But when we finally do feel regular emotion, we are overwhelmed by it and therefore have an exaggerated reaction compared to the average person. We just don't know how to handle it well, hence the crying etc.. Just my two cents, though.

Yes I can sob for hours over something that is little but to me it feels like it’s the end of the world. Happened just yesterday over something I thought I’d lost. I was absolutely beside myself until I found it 2 hours later. I have a T appt this week so I am going to bring it up and hopefully work through ways to see things more rationally. If only we could put tears to good use and replenish the worlds water supply.

The only thing that sometimes wet my eyes (not cry) is a movie that I'll be so involved that I think I'm there.
That's why all I see now is action movies. Good luck my brother.
