What does it mean

Take5

Hi there everyone 

Just wondering if anyone else gets this and has an idea why it might happen? Does anyone get a bit emotional when they watch certain films or listen to certain music. I’ve always had this but since discovering how I am it’s more intense than before. I end up having to look away from the screen as it can get too much and obviously don’t want others to see.

thanks in advance

  • So, I have just experienced this just now and it reminded me of a discussion i had with my therapist months ago.

    I was just watching that programme about the Post Office scandal, and it ended on a happy note - justice - and my reaction was tears. Should've been smiles, you'd think?

    So, what my therapist said: I'm not good at recognising or expressing emotions and sometimes they build up inside without me realising. Then a movie or a song, or whatever, adds a little more emotion and it crosses a threshold and all comes bubbling out. Doesn't really matter whether it's a positive or negative emotion, it just takes me to the point where it needs to release.

    Would prefer if it was laughing than crying to be honest, but then they'd probably cart me off in an ambulance.

    That is exactly the same with me.

    I probably get more upset with positive happy things and it’s so confusing. I almost can feel what the person on the to or movie is feeling…. Very strange.
