Hi Roxygaye
I don’t control my tears, if they come they come. I’ve learnt not to stop them as holding them in makes me feel worse. Letting them out makes me feel better.
Take care 🤗

If the Dr suggested you dont eirk - can you get Disability? I couldn't work anymore due to pain. It took me 5 years to get CPP Disability - and it's not much - but better than nothing. It took soooo long as well due to other extenuating circumstances. I understand now though that Fibromyalgia is listed as a Disability. Might be worth checking it out.

I suffer with tears too. Come out of no where. I go to the bathroom or bedroom to be alone at the time - but I dont try to keep them in anymore - just makes it worse. Sometimes my husband till ask- what's wrong? Why are you crying? And I cry and shrug my shoulders and say dont know - must be the fibro.

Take care. There is healing in a tear. HUGS!

I just retired in August. Had no choice. I worked with wee ones with special needs and I honestly couldn't keep up. Dr did not want me working. Unfortunately the downside is not having an income so that adds to the stress component. Oh well such is life. No one said it would be fair lol!

ANXIETY. If I don't take my anxiety meds, my husband leaves the house. Unfortunately, you will need to work on finding the correct medicine and the correct dosage. Even then, stress will only exaserbate the problem. You may need to find a less stressful job. I had to retire early from teaching for these reasons.

The tears can be so humiliating sometimes because they just come. My job was stressful and I didn’t have my antidepressants under control then. My boss couldn’t stand it when it happened and I wasn’t thrilled either. Lorazepam in a very low dose has helped today. When I feel myself getting ramped up or before I go to social events it helps me control it better. Hope that helps.
