Emotional can't take anymore

Ok....
So I realised I had anxiety not too long after my son was born, (he was 4 yesterday)
I suppose it's been there long before he was born but I just didn't realise it
Anyway a few months ago I'd gotten to a point where I couldn't hide it anymore, I was becoming angry, stressed, upset, down, all manner of emotions....
I eventually went to see a gp and was given sertraline, 50mg ones, they never seemed to do anything so they upped the dose to 100mg, I kept taking these and got on ok with them,
After a while I kept forgetting and just stopped taking them,
I did and do feel better even without them the anxiety of the what ifs and the panic etc are still gone, however now I feel such strong emotions....
I get upset and emotionally touched by things that don't effect me, other people's sadness,
I used to love a programme called ghost whisperer and now it's like as soon as the ending is near I start welling up and can't control myself,
Even kids bloody films! Parts of films that aren't sad but happy?
I think I've always felt differently to others but this is just getting to a point where it's annoying me because I don't want to feel like that all the time...has anyone else suffered anything similar or can anyone help in ideas of what to do ?

No advice really but I feel the same a lot of the time, very emotional and feel I have to suppress/crack on. X

It can be just so hard sometimes
Sometimes it's pure tears of happiness and others it's not but I just don't know whether I need some medication for it or not x
