Ever since I had DBS back in 2006 my emotions appear to have become much more polarised . Fortunately the vast majority of the time I am happy and smiley but I can start crying at a tv show / film / song or just something i am thinking about like never before in an instant and if something upsets or surprises me I suddenly become extremely dyskinetic for a few seconds which is embarrassing as it gives my mood away !

Does anyone else have this ?
