Crazy tears

Just when I think i'm ok....last night I bumped my head on the freezer door as I stood up to put something in and I mean I saw stars!!! I just started sobbing...like way more than I should for a head bump. Just sank to the floor and cried. Then today I got pulled over on the way to pick up my own birthday cake and the cop YELLED at me and I just burst into tears, like major alligator tears.I couldn't stop! I was fine before but once I'm triggered look out! My emotions and sadness are so close to the surface....
That poor cop didn't know what he got himself into. He came back and just gave me a warning. Said he thought I was on my cell phone but I wasn't. He must have thought I was a lunatic. And he's not too far off.

Thats what i was like- uncontrollable tears!
At least you got out of a ticket :)
Stay strong- and stay away from sharp corners xxxx
Chechi, I was crying all day the day it ended, fear, anxiety and peace and MORE tears the day after and today - day 3 - I just can't stop shaking. Seriously ...like detox shakes. I'm not obviously anxious (don't think so anyway), not crying (although it wouldn't take much) and I'm still standing up and going through my day but my whole being is trembling uncontrollably!
I think we just have to accept this weird cocktail of easily provoked emotion as part and parcel of moving on. Urgh !! Acceptance of absolutely anything has never been my strong point!
Hope you're doing ok ...and ouch!

Those crazy tears are normal (-:
I would welcome them as the process of crying does great things for your emotional well-being. I use to welcome the opportunity for a good old cry - I had been in such a numb state for so long that crying reminded me that I was grieving and going through the process - rather than just coping.
So let those tears come.

Chechi- what TU says is spot on. I found crying really cathartic.
Also when I was driving home one night and burst into tears (again), I screamed at the top of my lungs! I dont think I have ever atually screamed before. It hurt my throat. But boy it helped. I screamed twice- and then yelled sailor-like obscenities at him! It was fantastic!! :)
Hi Chechi :)
Like everyone else has said, crazy tears are normal. I've cried enough over the past 7.5 years to fill a baby pool. There were periods in my A when I literally cried every day. Now when I cry, it's for a purpose. It's not because XAP is playing golf with other people on a beautiful summer day instead of with me. It's not because he didn't answer the phone when I needed him.
Crying is part of the process of healing. Cry, scream, yell, swear - get it out. And then breathe and replace those emotions with healthy, positive thoughts.
