Quote: which is, massages just make me sad. I don't know if you recall the last time I had a massage, but it was several years ago and my in-laws (W's sister) gave each of us a gift cert for a massage. I ended up going back to my car and bawling, because I hadn't been touched like that for so long.
If massages are making you cry... then in my opinion... you need one once a day until the tears stop. They don't call it massage therapy for nothing, HD. You have pent up emotions that need expressing... and you continue to stuff them. I see this as a two-for-one deal... you are expelling toxic emotions standing in the way of your happiness... and you are receiving empathetic/theraputic touching... which stimulate the release of endorphines and oxcytocin into your system... two 'happy' chemicals that combat cortisol, the stress chemical.
I know, I know... 'nice idea, Corri... but, no money in the budget...' <shrug>
