I’m on a crying jag today too, had a fantastic productive day yesterday and I felt very content and then this! So up and down and very difficult to control. My counsellor has been showing me ways to ground myself but man, it’s freakn hard to do during an episode like this. I haven’t even started my wean yet! How am I going to make it thru this when I start? Feel like my brain is broken. Tomorrow it will get better right?
@secretwhitepop it's the strangest thing. My husband looks at me with such worry and it's hard to explain that they arent "upset" tears. My guess is that it's our bodies way of discharging energy that's been spent up. The same way with the "angry" outbursts. I had the tears happen in the middle of teaching class..I'm online. The kid has nothing else to look at except me, and suddenly I'm bawling?? Try explaining that to a 9 year old Chinese boy who is wondering what he said wrong!
