Yes, absolutely. I have cried like this many times. Curled up on my floor, bearly able to take a breath so that I cough and cough. Alcohol sometimes brings this on for me, but sometimes I feel like this better than the horrible nothingness/hollowness I might otherwise feel. At least it is an emotion and it is real. It feels like it is validation of the all of the things in my past that no longer appear to be real. If the past can still hurt, then I know it was real - it did happen. The people I loved that no longer are alive or no longer love me did actually exist.
That's just my experience. I've never done this in front of anyone, ever, though. In fact this is the first time I've really ever discussed in this much detail. Hmmm.
