Yeah, I agree Thornton. But I'm not sure what that really, really means in a practical way. Let myself cry when I feel sad? That kind of thing?
Yes, let yourself feel the pain. Don't try to push it away. The fastest way is through it, not around it. A lot of us try to repress those feelings and pretend we're OK, but when we do that it usually just comes out later with 10x the force. I never cried growing up. There were times that I thought I should, but it was like I just couldn't. Wow, that all ended after BD, LOL! I cried driving to work. I cried driving home. I locked myself in the bedroom and cried. I cried so much I was just in awe and wonder of it, I never would have thought it possible, especially for ME. I wish I could say it made me feel better, but it really didn't. It just didn't make me feel worse. Over time I cried less and less until I just stopped one day. THEN I really did start feeling better.
