Emotional

Does anyone else have a hard time dealing with their emotions. I'm really struggling with that right now. I feel like I'm going crazy.

I hate being a drippy faucet but...... cry at the drop of a hat. Like Forsakenangel said, all that pain- it takes so much energy holding ourselves together there have to be a few breaks in the dam :) I give myself grace for the leaks and try not to take my self too seriously.

When I'm stressed I'm a hot mess. I've always been a smiler..not now...I've finally got my meds adjusted enough I don't cry all the time...but I don't laugh a lot anymore either.

Yes, I do. Some of it is just the nature of the beast itself. Fibro is a neurological disorder and affects a lot of different regions of the brain, including those involved in depression and anxiety. My fibro first began with severe anxiety.
It's totally normal. Don't feel bad.
Are you receiving any sort of treatments?

I've always been the happy smiling person. I was strong, confident, and calm as could be. Now I cry for the dumbest reasons. I could have a meeting with my boss, talk to a doctor, or whatever situation that was uncomfortable for me and I was calm and able to stay factual and now anything that has to do with me, how I feel, or really anything personally targeting me- I cry at the drop of a hat. I was never a crying type.
