ahhh, Janie... I totally understand.
my neuro called that "emotional lability"
but it's more like a LIABILITY sometimes...
it means that my emotions can sometimes be more, er, um, emotional.
and it can be a symptom of MS.
so, I try to take all my extravagant emotions with a grain (a rather LARGE grain!) of salt, and not sweat the small stuff.
my motto: "Fake it 'til ya make it!"
