Some of us carry a slip of paper next to our driver's license that explains some of our odd responses.

My best to you.

Do you have something signed by your physician that you carry? I can experience crying at times when one would expect happiness.

There is no need to have a physician signed note. The simple fact that one has prepared for the need to explain these issues and printed up a note is enough. Add to that the fact that the note explains the issue far better than we can when we are under stress and a simple printed note works great.

For a couple of years after my accident I cried at the drop of a hat.

3.5 years later it's not so bad but there are times when something brings tears that are unexplainable and usually catch me off guard. They leave as unexplainable as they appear.
