Can not stop crying.

I had a particulary tough couple of days emotionally and have done nothing but cry on and off this last two days. Yesterday I went out on my mobility scooter and took tremours and spasams at the side of the road some nice guy helped talk me through it and the only thing I can think was positve A. A stranger helped me and B. I didn't take a full blown NEAD and end up lying fitting at the side of the road. It's bad enough that I have to deal with the symptoms of the autoimmune diseases I have but I'm just so tired of this crap.

Hi Tobie,

Sorry I can't write long as I'm about to go out to work but I can you tell you that my wife Kim goes through all the same emotions as you are doing and all that I can say is that it's always better to cry and release your emotions because keeping them inside will only aggregate your symptoms more.

Crying is a good release mechanism and I see Kim just break down out of the blue because, like you Tobie, it all gets too much at times.

Please always write if you wish to talk to us and you're in the right place here because they are so helpful.

Sorry I have to rush but keep smiling and take one day at a time.

Loving wishes sent to you always.

Tony & Kim 💕 xx😊😊

Thanks Tony, feeling calmer now or maybe drained is the word. Think I'll

sleep well tonight.

Best Regards

Thank you kjkla85

Tobie,

I hope you are feeling better today. It was nice of the stranger to help. I agree with Tony that crying helps. Music helps me, too along with journaling.

Hi Tobie , I'm glad for you that you can still get out and about, meet people although obviously not always how you want to meet people when becoming unwell, I too have these crying days, never know when they will start, just one day I'll crawl out of bed and by the time I've got other side the tears have started and just carry on and off all day, I absolutely hate my seizures when I'm out, the dribbling, my nose runs, tears of pain squeezed out adding in. I'm glad for you that you are still getting out there and being a part of life, please don't give up as I would love to be out and about with you, even if just round the block. Hopefully your feeling better now and the crying explosion has passed. Thinking of you. That your better and out enjoying some fresh air and happier. Big 🤗 hugs. Lisa-anne

Hi Lisa Anne I'm not out very often on my mobiliry scooter and it's the first time I taken a wobble while outdoors on scooter,I believe I'm more likely to have one when somewhere busy. It's horrible feeling so vernable but i refuse to give up that little bit of independance I have. I am however lucky that I can get out at all as I'm aware that there are others who are housebound totally with fnd so you are in my thoughts. feeling bit better today. Looking forward to warmer weather. Hugs to you also. x

Sending a big hug from me too!

I've had a couple of low days, and I agree, letting it all out is better than trying to keep it in. I've found, when I can't get out (and I used to love going on lots of little adventures!) if I absorb myself totally in something that takes concentration, I don't have to cry all day, I've taken up lots of things my granny would be proud of, like crochet...but in a cool, contemporary way of course :D!!

I slept most of yesterday , been noticing today that I have been looking out of window at birds so my interest is returning. Two very sore wrists and shoulders so no lifting camera even if I wanted to. So hugs to you too. x
