A friend had some really bad news this morning (the sort that can affect how a person's life goes for quite some time and about something which REALLY matters to her) and it obviously affected her really badly. I felt helpless and wished there was something I could do to help her, but there wasn't. I have visions of her crying and that also really made me think. I'm not the only one with problems in this world and I really need to find a better way to deal with the kind of stuff that life throws at us all.....
...... like learning how to cry for example.
I'm a terribly emotional/sensitive person. I am RULED by my bloody feelings and hate it. I am more sensitive about absolutely everything than any one else I know and it affects my entire life - and not in a good way.
I don't like crying very much at all, far from being the relaxing cathartic and cleansing experience most people say it is, I feel physically ill afterwards, usually with a headache and my eyes really hurt. I try not to cry at all if I can help it. I think if I start I will never stop - plus it ends up leaving me in pain and feeling ill.
I would love to feel that have a GOOD cry can actually make me feel better. That it would release and free me from whatever pain that I feel and not leave me feeling like I've been in a fight. It would be lovely to get some feedback from others about how you guys deal with pain and setbacks, but the problems with connect at the moment mean that only non-logged in users can see my blogs and you can't leave a comment without being logged in. Stupid catch-22.
