Greetings. I was curious on this disorder just because I have been described as crying at situations inappropriately. This isn't daily. I believe now that this was me as a kid. I believe as a kid, I had this condition, along with social anxiety and selective mutism. I would cry daily at any situation inappropriately. Like, daily. This would happen 1-5 times a day when I was younger (like 6-12) and I had no explanation for it. Now I only do this sometimes, usually when I'm more stressed or tired. But I sometimes cry at inappropriate situations and I don't mean to. Does anyone have this condition or has heard of it before? Thanks. Here are some links to information on the condition:
