Suddenly crying for no discernible reason is something that I find myself doing a lot these days. There have been many times where I was able to relate the crying to a song on the radio, or something I've seen on TV, or simply a thought that passed through my head. But there have also been times where I couldn't understand why it happened. I seem to have developed a habit of crying in the shower every day. I don't know why it happens, it just does.

Perhaps it's the tensions of the day being released all at once. Maybe it's just some buried issue finding it's way to the forefront while I stand under the shower head. I don't know, and I may never know. I do know that I usually feel better afterwards. For decades of my life, I was never able to express my feelings or allow them to show. Now that I have allowed myself to be myself, and adding in the impact of HRT, I have begun to feel things that I never felt before. I have begun to feel things deeper than I ever did before. If an occasional unexplained crying jag is the price I pay for that, I'm good with that.

You may simply have to face the fact that you will never know the cause of your crying. The important thing is that you can cry, and that you have friends to comfort you when you do.

I sincerely hope that you felt better afterwards. If you did, then the crying served it's purpose, and you have nothing to worry about. Remember, you're a woman, and we have the right to cry.
