Aside from more stress than normal, is anyone else finding that they are more emotional in general? I'm crying at random commercials and also finding that I have less tolerence for thing than I used to have.  I'm not sure if it's just from the added stress or the transition or what... Anyone else?

This is something that every woman in my family does.  We cry at everything.  It can be happy or sad, we all cry.  The guys always make fun of us because we are so emotional.  I guess it is better than holding in your emotions.

Really? You think that women cry at everything? I don't think so. I think people cry at almost everything. And I don't really see guys make fun at women who are so emotional, they even support them most of the times. Except for those guys who are young since those are immatured and could probably laugh at ladies who are emotional.

Women are more easily emotionally aroused than men and react to deep emotions by crying. Whether it is from happiness, anger or sadness, women generally cry as an outlet for their emotions.

I didn't know women generally cry as an outlet for their emotions.

I think that getting emotional at certain times is normal and should not be an issue to worry about. I get emotional sometimes and yes, I cry at random moments, about things that are not even sad or worrisome. Crying is a great way to release our emotions and it makes us feel much better once we're done.
