Uncontrollable crying

Hi,
I've suffered depression and anxiety in the past, and on the whole I'm better now. My only big issue is that I seem to cry very very easily. I can feel otherwise very happy, and something mildly distressing or upsetting will happen and I'll be crying uncontrollably. I feel sick, I then get annoyed with myself and feel stupid, but I really cannot control myself. It's starting to impacty life, my work, my relationships and my wellbeing.

Examples include:
Missing a credit card payment and having a £12 charge
Forgetting to take my laundry out the drier and having to re-wash
Friend cancelling a coffee
Spilling my dinner on kitchen floor
Mildly upsetting adverts/tv
My brother telling me not to 'shout' when I actually just spoke too loudly

Ridiculous, right? How do I stop this? Why could I be feeling like this? I'm otherwise fine, but this has been happening for months. I can try my utmost best not to cry, but I still do!

I have found this since having therapy.
It's when I can't cry that I worry.

I've had that before actually. But Ive been off therapy for nearly two years now. Maybe I need some sort of therapy for this? I don't know
