This is getting ridiculous. Ever since I've been in recovery, I cry at the drop of a hat - happy things, sad things - I cry.

But I've been crying pretty much non stop since my pdoc told me I needed to go into the hospital Thurs. night. I feel like I have 40 years of tears all trying to come out at one.

I look like hell, my eyes are all red and swollen, and my nose won't stop running.

I went to an AA meeting last night and bawled my way through the entire meeting - fortunately that's acceptable behavior at AA meetings.

But honestly, I wish I could just stop crying.

I am sorry your feeling this way. I have gone inpatient by choice 3 times and each time I have been a soaking sobbing mess.. I chalked it up to just hitting the wall emotionally and all I had left right then was tears.

Sometimes its okay to just cry.

Go inpatient and allow them to help...

(((Hugs))) One of the things my sister told me she went through in the early stages of recovery, was having to re-aclimate emotionally. She did a lot of crying and felt a lot of negative feelings... she had been drowning out her feelings with alcohol and drugs for so long, that she actually had to feel them for the first time in a long time. She did stabilize emotionally after a time, but I imagine it takes some patience and feeling cruddy for a bit.

I do not know if any of this is relatable for you, or if it helps. I hope you feel much better soon...
