Hi AdriSco - it is called the menopause - its makes you more emotional, more sensitive and a complete worry guts.
Its a bit like being pregnant, hormones all over the place and everything seems more enlarged. I am the same, I cry at the smallest thing, especially anything to do with children. On TV, in the papers, anything horrible against children I am in floods of tears.
Once you recognise and accept what is happening to your hormones, try and put things into prespective, things will fall into place. You are not along AdriSco.
