Rainyday,
I had trouble at first with meditation. I never had a panic attack, but I became so anxious and jittery, like I just had to get up and MOVE, that I had to stop. Fortuntately, I was home alone. But I do think that meditation can bring stuff up, like others said.I'm exactly the same way about being sad and crying. The moment someone is nice to me it just opens the floodgates. Sometimes I've had to ask people to leave me alone or say "don't be nice to me right now" so that I could feel like I could hold it together until it felt safe to cry.
It's interesting about your screen name. My T commented on something I said before a session about looking like it was going to rain. This was when I usually spent the entire session crying every week. He said that rain is a metaphor or symbol for tears, and he thought it was interesting that I made that comment that day and then proceeded to "rain" all over his couch. So I hope you do become "partly cloudy" soon. It does feel better not to cry so much, as healing as tears can be.
Take care,
gg
