... through lying on my back, crying over you! (Come on, where's the Basil Brush fans )

So, yes, I expect to be emotional at this time in my life. In truth, I'm already highly over-emotional due to the whole depression thing I've mentioned before, but seriously...? This is flippin' ridiculous.

Now, I know I'm not in pms as I just finished, but I woke up with a song on my brain this morning - White Horses, from the tv show, if anyone remembers - and decided to listen to it on Youtube. Floods of tears  What the actual... Over a tv theme? Seriously?

But this is no isolated incident; it happens all the time of the most ridiculous things, but nostalgia is a very dominant culprit. Over the years of my battles with the Black Dog I have developed a certain level of control and I don't cry often... well make that I didn't use to cry often! Now I should have shares in Kleenex 

I try to be a positive person, difficult as it is with the crazies always lurking in the background. I try to laugh a lot, but this morph into Baby Cries-a-lot is throwing me very off balance. It's the unpredictability of it that makes it a problem, I think; I can never know what is going to set me off. Yesterday it was the smell of rain on dry ground!!

So, what starts you off and what do you do to control it? - not drugs; for me those are the realm of last resort

I wish I could cry.  I am far too buttoned up to cry but injustice always brings me to angry tears.  However emotional tears - well they are buried too far down unless I am having a self pity party

I am generally unable to cry although tears are not far from the surface, they seem to want to shed when DH is in the same room  so I can't let go.

In my sleep I've been known to sing out loud, cry, sob, in my dreams I can fly …… but when it matters 

However; put the end of The Incredible Journey on when Bodger, who is not expected to have survived the trek, comes over the hill    .

The Air that I Breath by the Hollies or Every Body Hurts - if driving I have to stop the car.

As for White Horses, can vaguely remember it.

I nearly started crying (was very welled up) last week picking my granddaughter up from school when she said she'd been to her new class for next year! I shocked myself how much of a lump in my throat it gave me, it's silly things that are getting me, I seem to be able (so far) to bottle up the really sad things

Hormones, who'd have 'em?

I can feel weepy if I loose control of a situation (by that, I don't mean I'm a control freak!).  For example, down in London last week, I got thoroughly muddled with their new public transport swipe-card system one day and I could feel the tears coming, although I managed to stop them.
