Emotional..
Not sure were to begin. Ive been very emotional lately and don't know what to make of it. Work has been hard to deal with due to feelings of sadness. I can't help but feel that way. Some times I feel overwhelming feelings of happiness or gratitude for people who support me and I feel like I will cry. Edgar brought me his ball several times for me to throw and he was so cute and loving I felt like I was going to cry. No matter what it is, if its an extreme emotion I will feel like crying. What is wrong with me? Why am I so emotional?

Pagan, I don\'t know why you are feeling so emotional. Could it possibly be the ECT? All those feelings that were bottled up before the procedure might be able to come through now? Are you as emotional when you\'re with other folks?
I think maybe you have a new appreciation for life right now and maybe that will even out in time. ECT is a lot - you have been through a lot. Emotions might be the way you\'re coming to terms with it all. We are here for you. Big hugs to you and peace, Mark
Nothing is WRONG with you...emotions are not wrong. I know this is unusual for you, and I have an idea about what that might feel like. I\'m sorry, bc it\'s not a good feeling. But please just remember that there\'s nothing WRONG with you. ((hugs))
I\'m with Sadie... emotions are not wrong... I think sometimes we feel they are inappropriate... but maybe after the ECT you are beginning to process and feel things? it\'s good to feel things Pagan... even tho they can be painful and really uncomfortable... but that is good fodder for therapy
again I echo Sadie... there is nothing wrong with you.. to be human is to be emotional.. and I am glad there are feelings of gratitude and happiness in there.... you are a part of this community Pagan.... people care.. I hope that is a good emotion to feel
((((hugs)))) x
At least you have Edgar! :) I wish I could have a pet, but those are the chips I\'ve been dealt with in life.
I have DEFINITELY felt like you are feeling right now. All part of a bigger process methinks. Cathartic experience. I do believe things will get better for you. Hang in there! (((hugs))
Me too - not feeling emotions is a bad place, dead, disconnected.
Feeling is human. Whatever you are feeling, it will pass in time, you know that happens. Especially on the seesaw of BP.
I lost my wife last year. I don\'t think feelings get any stronger than during the decline, death, and burial of a loved one. I am coming through on the other side, little by little.
