I hardly ever cried for a while.Recently.... sometimes it goes from welling-up to flows of tears.
I think it's DS and all the sweet/harrowing stories.
Should I cut down on reading about the people or just take it in my stride ?

It's NOT cos of a med change .
I am sensitive to the information my friends divulge.Yet really do the best to understand.I do in BP but feel it bad in other areas.
Some of the abuses suffered here are openly on show.My guts wrench as I react..

I never ever raised a hand to a woman or child so. it's not naive, it just isn't in me.

" I think that you should do what you think is best for you. Maybe you need a break. I think you need to try to look objectively at your situation. I don't want you to go. But you have to take care of your self. No one else is going to do it. Don't know if this was helpful. "

" Everything else is fine.It's just that one avenue that slips into many.
I suppose I should.It's difficult but you may be right. "

" Well, there is a thing which is called a spirit of grief. It can be triggered in almost anything. The look of a child, a child crying in a store, reading the newspaper about the miners who were trapped. It could be strum that your empathy is on high at the moment. I bet you your so sensitive that you can read peoples feelings on their faces from across the room. True? "

" I hear some stories from others about abuse from their past. I tend to feel like I complain too much, since I have endured much less than others. "

" welcome to being a man warrior/healer class. the armored times come and your heart is guarded and then your loose times come and your heart is easily reached. The massaging of the heart. Steel when it needs to be hard as steel in times of danger, aroused suspicion, or uneasiness.Flesh and suffering with the suffering ones. "

" Look.I see nothing mystical in this.Just human.You don't know my life to see the truly harrowing stuff I have witnessed.
I came here as a BP.
It says BP discussions yeah ?
Well the amount of other stuff.It's that I find overwhelming sometimes,But I got balls and heart.
I am not wanting to sound smug or some kind of mystical healer.Uh-uh!
I am a man and I have BP.
