That happened to me once. I was on a large group hiking trip — we needed 3 Airbnb’s — and one night one of my friends made a funny crack and I burst out laughing, then couldn’t stop. It got to the point that everyone was starting to look worried, but I just couldn’t stop — I could get myself down to giggling then start right back up again. Then suddenly I burst into tears. I started apologizing then ran inside to a bathroom to calm down. It took me quite a while.
I’d just spread some of my sister’s ashes in a river that day when we were out hiking. Also, because of the huge size of the group, and some other issues, it was actually turning out to be a stressful trip.

One short step away from losing it and then profusely apologizing.
