Emotional?

I think I've always been quite an emotional person, but been good at hiding it.
Not so good now at keeping a lid on it but that's ok I think.
It may well be that as we get older we know (as Chocolate
lovinggran said) how easily something can happen which would devastate us.
Clicketyclick, it may be an age thing and part of what we are discussing. However maybe a chat with a qualified person about mental health may help.

Yes - I get sad, too often for my liking. I get anxious too. Old age is scary 😦

Me too and can't seem to keep under control very well lately. The other day I was in a social setting and suddenly became quietly upset over nothing in particular. I'm starting to think that mine may be the start of depression.

I agree, Stillness. My late father called me "Hard Hearted Hannah" (!) but I find that ageing has made me increasingly wobbly.
Maybe we are more aware of what - might - go - wrong than in our innocent youth.
