Hi @Former-Member
I hope you are feeling better now.
Sometimes it does help just to have a good cry and let it out. I usally find I get very emotional if I'm tired, stressed or anxious and like you I will think "why the hell am I crying" I did this just on the weekend but it turned out I was venting some stress and thats how it came out. I let myself cry and then felt better and got on with things.
Sometimes just putting on a strong face like to your child when you are spinning inside can wear you out emotionally.
Take care
