@Nadi I have observed the same reaction in others. I was at an event for people with breast cancer. We were sitting on couches and chairs in a lovely relaxed space. We were asked to give a brief summary of where we were in our treatment. We were then going on to art therapy. One lass could not take it and left the room totally overwhelmed.
Another lady admitted to me she had a tear in her eye listening to the group. I didnt burst into tears but was very shaken.I have walked in their shoes and know what some of it is like.
I also become undone when someone is compassionate and really wants to know how I am.
The problem is when you are getting your strength back you may be overdoing it which then effects your emotions.
Just a thought make sure you have snacks eg almonds fruits etc keep your blood sugar level stable.
I have hypoglycemia if I dont eat regularly my physical and mental health suffers
