emotions

[Guest guest]

Just a question here. Does anyone seem to get over emotional when it seems silly

to? My mom & I like to watch Extreme Makeover, Home Edition and I always find

myself trying not to cry. It happens with other things too. I can't help but

feel like crying when things seem to be really happy or really sad on tv or in

movies. So, does anyone else seem to be super sensitive to emotions? I don't

feel this way when it comes to everyday things, like stressing over the holidays

and the lack of money for gifts for the kids, or the general stress of having

Chiari and not being able to work, so there's no money and my mom is depressed

and angry because there's nothing extra coming in in the way of my contribution

to the household. Just things that are on tv. I kind of understand why I do it

with Makeover, because I want a story like that with me in it...I need a

miracle, like someone giving us a bigger, better place to live (there are 3

adults & 2 kids in a 3 bedroom

double wide. my parents, of course, have their own room; and because I have two

kids of different genders, my boy has his own room and I share a room with my

daughter. plus, we have 2 dogs...though one is super tiny, and we have a cat).

If this is a normal thing we Chiarians suffer, does it get better after

surgery...or does it get worse? Am I just overly sensitive and emotional?

Thanks.

You aren't alone but I think it may have more to do with being ill, not

being able to do what we want to and used to be able to do, poor treatment

by doctors and, all too often, those we thought were there to help us

through the rough times.

You are human :-)
