Tears

[Chandra Amaya]

I cry wayyyy too much as well. I cry mainly when I'm stressed and frustrated. My blood pressure is now through the roof when it is normally very low, too low... I think I need to be back on my anxiety medication.
I do also cry when I'm sad, but I almost always cry when I'm alone. I hate crying too.

For blood pressure, look at the thread I started on the glycemic index - it should help bring it down.

My blood pressure is up because of the stress I am under not because of what I eat, but thank you for the thought.

What I am saying it that it can be a cycle that works the other way too, the blood pressure being up can cause the stress to be harder to deal with which causes the blood pressure to go higher... I have found that diet and stress are inextricably linked. So taking care of your body with a safe, healthy diet can make the stress easier and less damaging. I'm sure you know what I mean... just a reminder to take good care of yourself while you are going through these hard times.

I don't think I normally cry very often, unless there's a good reason. The news makes me cry sometimes, because there's so much death and destruction and violence. I cried during class today because we were watching a movie about cyclones and the part about Hurricane Andrew was VERY sad. It was made in 1995 and they talked about how New Orleans was a disaster waiting to happen. The movie said 5 years or 10 years and there would be a devastating hurricane that would break the levies and put 30 feet of downtown under water, causing about 100,000 people to be stranded. Scary how accurate it was! It made me sad that simple things could've been done to prevent so many deaths. I cried during that part as well.

This BC has really messed with my emotions so I'm a lot more moody and prone to cry these days...

The majority of us are just a bunch of cry babies. ( I mean that in the most nicest way I promise)

I just found this thread. NYC or upstate NY, just give me a couple of weeks notice,
and you're all more than welcome.

Holland, Virginia, wherever - Oh wait - wasn't I going to win some money for remembering all of my names and take us all to Tahiti on my yacht? I guess that check is in the mail!

As far as crying - I almost never cry. I wish I did - I think it's healthier. I have all the feelings, just not the tears.

Janet, I hope you feel better
