Hmm.
It sounds like you have good doctors. I am glad.
Perhaps you have reached some critical emotional turning point in your growth and healing process. When I feel something like what you are experiencing, I usually interpret it as a signal that some important psychological issue has emerged. I then work to identify it by first just letting the feelings just happen without guilt. I am often successful at identifying the source of the feelings or the part of my core belief system that has produced the emotions. Of course, I am not always successful. However, having at least recognized the emotional signal, I can work with a counselor to help me work with it.
Most simply, a rush of sad or otherwise negative feelings is usually an indicator that there is work to do. It should not be a source of feelings of weakness or guilt. It should probably best be seen as being something very human and shared with a great many other individuals.
That was probably more stuff than you needed to hear, but I sometimes write to help reinforce the lessons I have learned for my own benefit.
