Hi girls I'm writing this post to find out if any of u girls get realy emotional. Today I just can't stop crying but it makes it worse coz I don't even know why I'm crying. Wanted to know if it's just me or if any one else tends to have the same days
Thanx in advance

No it's not just you I have been doing the same for the past three days... Can't seem to pull myself round at all... Weird because there is nothing I can put my finger on that is making me feel this way... Just waiting for an uo turn soon.
Leanne I had a foul,foul day yesterday which I might post about tomorrow.
Couldn't sleep last night. Awful thoughts going through my head.
Today had a lovely walk with Ian. Mood just lifted a bit. We all have our off days. Have a good cry and tomorrow hopefully you'll feel better.

I think it's autumn... I'm the same. I am in low mood last couple of days and I am very emotional as well.
We all have days where we cry and don't know why, I think it's everything we've been through and going through, hope you feel a bit better soon big hugs and a good cry relieves stress, or so they say!!
Take care lots of love

I sat in the car on the beach on Thursday sobbing uncontrollably for no good reason. It was a bad day for chemo effects, but still. It really doesn't do anything to help, in my view, just makes me feel a fool! Today I'm fine, it comes and goes.
Chemo affects parts of our brains that edit our feelings, behaviors and "executive" functioning. Chemo brain is real and causes temporary and possibly long term brain functioning. You simply cannot filter your feelings through the logical gatekeeper to edit yourself. You are not alone. I find myself weeping at everything, good, bad, funny, sad--I believe the actual term is "emotional lability". I just hope this is not a permanent state after the chemo wears off. I was so concerned I had a CAT scan of my brain done when I started getting optical migraines. Scan showed changes to white matter in my brain. So, you are not imagining any of this and you are certainly not alone.
A very wise nurse told me many years ago you cry because its your time to cry so its good to get it all out. We have so many highs and lows and other things going on in the background that sometimes it is hard to cope. Be kind to yourselves and Hairless Beauty you did fairly well today so be proud of yourself.
Sometimes I think it's just because we're female!!
I have some rather down days, but there is more going on in my family than just my ovarian cancer & chemo (bad enough). My husband is in a care facility because of Alzheimer's disease. This past March, our live turned completely upside down, inside out. I had been caring for hubby at home, but with my diagnosis, he had to be placed. This all took place within 2-3 weeks. I knew I could never look after him after surgery & subsequent treatments.
I suppose I have every right to have down days, but we all do. I'm not complaining, just trying to go with the flow. If I want to cry, I cry (although sometimes I feel rather silly when there's nothing directly making me cry). It's a good soul cleanser.
Hi Lieanna,
We have all been through an emotional rollercoaster,I am NED,so I should be smiling,I cry at cartoons,films,music,Davis Cup matches and I just cry!
Don't know why,can't explain,I think so long as you get up in the morning and get on with your new normal it is an unexplained symptom,although I agree with all the ladies opinions.
When I went to a support group I was told we are suffering with post traumatic war?symptom or something similar,let's face it, we are still in battle and haven't yet won the war.
All we can do luv is to support each other when things get bad and you feel familly are being burdened.
Take time for yourself doing something that makes you smile
