Only time I ever really feel like crying is at night when my mind wanders through my past and all of the mistakes I've made....I'm never able to though..odd sensation really.

This is really common.
We are like sponges who through our daily lives pick up stress all the time and in heightened anxiety situations we feel like we are going to explode like a volcano errupting with tears, we well up.
This is great because it means we have the ability to release the stress. The problem is we dont want everyone to see us cry so this induces more stress. What do we do? - We learn to release the stress in our daily life in a controlled way. You will see some people release this stress on their loved ones or work colleagues it manifests in the form of shouting, crying, usually with anger or anxiety. We havent found how to use this valve of releasing stress and tension.
Some people exercise, others try karate, sports, yoga/meditation, others block this stress by drinking excessively or taking drugs.
Its why people generally feel alright once they've had a good cry.
Understand it isnt a bad thing, you may just want to find another alternative to releasing this stress.

Sometimes I do cry, and then feel worse if people see me. I haven't done it so much lately but when I was in middle school and first started getting the panick attacks and had no friends and everyone picked on me for being, "Wierd" plus my dad started hitting me that year too.. 8O It got to be too much for me and I would cry on a almost daily basis at school in front of everyone. 
I felt even more humiliated for that and pretty much blocked out that year from my memory...I wish I had this site back then, at least I would have known that thousands of other people in the world felt the same "wierd" way I did and I wasn't just crazy! I would have also probably recieved encouragement from everybody which would have helped tons, oh well, better late than never! :wink:

I had that feeling tonight...I'm in the naval reserves and my job includes working with the sea cadets. I haven't been working for a couple years because of my anxiety but I recently decided to try again since I moved to a new city and wanted to try and change my anxiety.
So I joined up in the cadet corps that my bf works at...My first night was tonight...All the officers are friends and though I know them through my bf, I don't know them well enough to feel comfortable with them...I lasted maybe a half hour...I was following my bf around 'cause I didn't know what else to do...he didn't mind but it made me feel terrible because it wasn't fair to him...
We were all standing around talking (well they were lol...I just stood there) and I felt the feeling you described. I was trying not to cry and I started to feel panicked.
Luckily my boyfriend is wonderful...he took one look at me and knew what the problem was...instead of making me feel uncomfortable in any way he said to me, "you look like you aren't feeling well...maybe you should head home and lay down..." and walked me to the door...
But yea...I feel that a lot...it sucks...
