Hug yourself...you are human...

Show me a commercial on animal abuse and it goes to the core; if I feel threatened mentally (someone who keeps trying to re-arrange my life from their stand point) I get teary and walk away crying...since I have been taking some of these drugs I find it hard to maintain a firm ground...I have been told that are some of the drugs' side effects...so we trade a few tears instead of seizures??? Honestly, I am attending a workshop on how to be stronger and handle things on my own terms...they said it is okay to be emotional!
Sometimes there are other contributing factors we are unaware of; stress underneath the surface we have been holding in; stress about things we weren't aware of...does this help???

It does! Thank you very much for sharing :-) I never really considered the impact of stress, and my career as a TV News journalist certainly could affect that, and medication side-effects are a given. Again, thank you for sharing!

I find that I am overly-emotional to what is appropriate to a situation, and ESPECIALLY when I am frustrated, like when I am not understanding something at work.

I have been very emotional lately. I had for tonic clonic seizures last month all in one night. I had not had any seizures prior to that in two and a half years. I was feeling better more stable and less moody and emotional. Now I am crying and don't know why. I feel confused and remembering things is hard.
