i have those as well and i think it serves as a valve to let out some of the profound sadness over this illness and all the missed opportunities, lost friends, memories of a better time and so on
Hi
That makes sense.
Being bed or couch ridden one does have time to think about one's life.
Thank you

Lol Yeah Thanks
That did not trigger any emotion response
You may have a point with the embedded emotional responses.
That is a unique perspective you have!
Thanks

I get this myself, I've always wondered what specifically causes it. I'm in a wave of the artificial doom right now and very prone to the crying fits but I'm also a very emotional person in general though it's not like me to be like this. There's nothing entirely sad immediately happening, it feels like some neuro-inflammatory reaction that effects signalling and neurotransmitters. I would get this really hard besides in PEM from my herxes on herbals in the Lyme bubble. It's almost like a state where almost everything will easily trigger that sadness emotion and things that really evoke it SUPER trigger it then at some point later it'll just disappear and I'll wonder what is wrong with me when the PEM or herx induced whatever that is dies down. Being a human emotional pendulum is always a good time!

Thanks for Sharing!
I am sorry you are going through this.
I think it is an emotional response trigger because we feel bad to begin with, and we are frustrated in trying to find help! Its a snowball effect !
If you ever need someone just to vent to or talk to I am here for you.
I have found it is easier some times to talk to a stranger than a family member.
Have you tried staring at a wall and just start hollering at !
That has helped me a time or two
Just to get it out!
We are all here for support !

I appreciate you internet person! And yes I do feel bad in general to begin with physically and situation wise in other ways unrelated in my life. There is a lot of actual sadness to go around. Definitely snowballs. It actually is easier to just talk to a stranger, I don't have much family left around and don't see too many people even out daily. The state of the world right now is also starting to really get to me, almost like being on a small island already but it's slowly closing in more. Every time I even load up youtube without looking for it besides what I enjoy that I try to keep on my feed there's something new bad happening almost every day it seems. Yes I have tried internally screaming a lot and do, kinda helps in the moment when I'm in a stressful situation and can't just leave.

But this Summer I have gotten a lot of progress with my condition though and though I did also burn through most of it finding stuff out the future knowing what I'm do now and how to navigate things gives me more positivity. I go back to work in a bit over a week now and now I gotta be ready to more smoothly tackle it again but I think I'm ready for the rush to next Summer again where hopefully less will go wrong.

Just to clarify when I said a stranger is easier to talk too I was referring to a psychiatrists, they are easy to vent too for me

You are welcome.
The changing world is all around us ,
Some changes are Good some are not! Or that is how it appears to me.
I dont really watch news its basically one group showing something good and another group showing the exactly same thing but in a negative form.
I view utube as another form of intertainment some people are honest and some people play our heart strings to make a buck !

I like the audio books on different things, my lack of focus doesnt allow me to read any more.
I do look at my favorite utube shows
And they are always non political and upbeat! No doom and gloom stuff at all.
Thier are also Great funny jokes and stories, laughter always helps me a lot, good cries help me sometimes and sometimes they dont!

Dont get all stressed about work if you can.
I know you will do Great ! And it could help you feel better by being focused
On what you do.
I dont have any Pearls of Wisdom for you.
I only offer what help I can.
Please update us on how work goes.
And post all you want to here.
