To be honest I think that for me it comes from a place of wanting to not hide them anymore and for people to really understand how I'm feeling. But it doesn't take much to set me off and it is a bit frustrating that I can't seem to be able to control it very well at all. There are some times when it was happening with coworkers that it was kind of uncomfortable to look like I was super emotional but really it was something that popped into my mind having nothing to do with the conversation at hand but about the lisp and slurred speech that keeps getting worse. Maybe it is just a side effect from chemo and rads. I dunno!
