This has happened to me too many times … Just the other day I was trying to just get through work, but my team manager noticed I was a bit upset and pulled me aside to ask if I was okay and I broke.
I know this feeling all to well, sadly…However, I’ve gotten better about things and I try to keep the people around me informed tat yes, I have depression, and anxiety, and I’m weird, so little things can sometimes set me off and I can have odd moments where I’m terrified and my logic is battling my emotions and it’s basically hell inside my head. In a way, I think it’s only right to warn people first. I’m very lucky to have found someone who lives and understand me in the sense that he gets that I’m weird, but that while my pain bothers him, he doesn’t want t walk away. And it was easier as things progressed for him to deal with them because I let him know that I had some of these issues (I didn’t know about all of them myself at first) when we first started to become more involved with each other’s lives. Because of this, I’m actually able to trust him and whenever either of us has some sort of breakdown or freak out moment, even if we can’t really help each other per say, we’re more able to communicate to each other what we’re each feeling as it happens, even if it means we have to force ourselves to in a way, and it helps both of us get our thoughts together and back on track.
I won’t lie and say that I never ask him if he thinks my weirdness and my issues will be to much for him, because I do and, sometimes, annoyingly often. But he always gives me the same answer that I give him when he asks me and it’s no, they won’t be. Because even if they start to, we love each other to much to just give up and walk away from each other. Instead, we want to find a solution that isn’t to much for either of us to bare.
On the positive side, it answers their question accurately. I’m certain my doctor uses it to make a note on my file about my affect.
This hits it right on the head. I’ve had to tell people if they catch me when I’m crying that I have no real solid reason. There’s just so many, or my mind is so overwhelmed battling itself I just have too cry or else it hurts.
My lips are ripped apart because I bite my lips so much to stop myself from crying.
at least you have tears to shed miss i envy you ….
The concept of “frantically dismantling the cry bomb” is quite brilliant.
