Don't apologize. Most of the things I post make me teary-eyed. I think writing it down and posting it helps me too.

I have a hard time telling anyone verbally because then I get full of tears. I figure if I can write about it and not get teary-eyed I'm beginning to get over it.

I have talked to a therapist about the tears. She said it was medical PTSD. I think it happens to people when unfortunate medical things happen whether it happens to you or someone else.
