Lachrymosia has the same effect when you're lying or telling the truth, being fake or real, so that ain't a byproduct. It's just a matter of intensity of expression and feeling. Appreciate the ideas, though! Good luck to both of us! xoxo Hey Claire, thanks for the comment!

An odd advantage many don't have ;) Ditto on what Winslow said! Once again, it occurs to me what a great trait this would be in a novel's protagonist or side-character. His shrink could even coin the term "Lachrymosia" and write a paper on it, making it a condition people would start to understand. Who knows? You might find a host of fans who identify with the condition & start a whole new thing in the realm of psychology! Again I find myself wishing that I knew you in person, Tom! It would be great to know for sure when you were speaking your heart. (I think I sense it when you write, btw ;) Namaste & Good Luck! Claire At least you know when you’re telling the truth!

We do have it pretty cushy on the being able to cry front, I guess. It's hard for people to understand what I'm talking about, though. Mine isnt' sad crying. It has no visible link to any particular emotional state, except a buried one. I flow when I talk to people. It's only during talking, regardless of my feelings. xoxo!

Bane, thorn in my side, curse!! At my desk at work, gulping down emotions to answer phone, etc, supermarket shopping, please ground open up and swallow me, these public wellings are horrible! Lately I've been looking into Empaths, one of the traits being that they absorb other people's energies, and can be released later, not necessarily at the time of absorption. Have you ever seen the scene in 'The Green Mile' where that guy releases all the bees after inhaling the disease out of the sick wife of the Governor? Sometimes i have crying hours at home, my release. The only thing i would say to you is to try and appreciate that you CAN cry, there are many people who can't. Very much enjoying your blog Tom. ~Lily I have been a crier all my life, but in the last four years, it has been, as you described, an unwelcome visitor at inappropriate times.

I tried that once, with no effect, though not real religiously. But I sure appreciate all offers of advice on this annoying habit. Appreciate it! Thanks jsab.

It's basically a combination of acupuncture (without the needles) and psychotherapy. It's very simple to do on yourself and you'll probably have results within a few minutes. http://www.emofree.com Oh man, it’s time to get on board the EFT train! :) EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique.

That really is awesome if you found a cure! Thank you rastas, it is similar, though doesn’t sound like exactly the same problem. That really is awesome if you found a cure!

Sad movies would leave me shattered. After watching The Piano, I had to crawl out of the cinema and hide in my car for 30 minutes in shock, crying, crying, crying. I could be at a dinner party and half way through the evening I'd have to go to the bathroom and silently cry for ten minutes in one of the cubicles. Luckily I finally found a cure, TheReleaseEffect dot com It seems that the problem was not from the rational cortex, but moreso from the emotional brain, and in particular, probably the amygdala. I also spent years and thousands of dollars on therapies and self help books to try and dissolve this overwhelming sadness and all of the apporaches worked but only while I was doing the ritual, whether that be reading something, chanting, meditating etc etc etc, but sooner than later, the feeling would trigger again and again, until TheReleaseEffect, I hope it helps many others as well.
