Sudden burst of sadness

I've been finding that simple things are choking me up. I've managed to choke back the tears, but my throat gets all closed up and I feel the sensations around my eyes welling up.

These things are so silly. I was telling my husband about this movie, and as I was telling him about it, the feelings increased. So I stopped talking and moved on to a new topic. It's happened to me several times today. I'm not sure why, but I do know that something as simple as a commercial or song can trigger this physical reaction right now.

I'd really rather not be so sensitive about things like this. It's just a movie I've only seen 10 times and I happen to own. It's only a song I've heard countless times, and managed my eyes to stay dry. But why all of a sudden these things are kicking up tears. That I do not know. Perhaps I'm coming down from a "mania episode". I really am not sure.
