My Pseudobulbar Affect ... minus the stroke.

I think I might have a problem... and it's progressively getting worse.

One time at an elderly care facility..... um, never mind.  When my cousin's dog died she..... scratch that.  A couple months ago, my bobble-head-proportioned son was running way too fast down a hill and.....    

Uhhh.... it seems I am having a difficult time picking a story depicting my problem without sounding like a complete ass, so I'll just put it out there - I laugh at completely inappropriate times.


And it's not that small involuntary grin you can hide with a turn of the head or a couple "HA HA"s that could easily be disguised as a bad cough attack.  I full on laugh to where I need to excuse myself from the room.  It use to be an occasional thing but lately I have noticed it happens more frequently.  What could this be?  Some kind of social anxiety?  I don't know what, but it has got to stop; at least the inopportune laughter that people around me won't appreciate.  I don't mind the random laughter bursts, like when I was grocery shopping last weekend and walked past a giant box of cereal called Crunchy Nut hahahahahaha I don't even know.  Yes I was alone and Yes I was laughing uncontrollably.



The other day my good friend told me, "Chels, if I fell down these escalator stairs right now and broke my legs you are the type of friend that would run to help me up after you finished laughing your eye balls out."  Pshh, whatever.
