let yourself cry as hard and as long as you need to. You could also try writing about what is on your mind. It doesn't have to make sense or even be for anyone to read, just write what comes to mind and not worry about what it sounds like. *hugs* Good luck!

I actualy know what you mean i may only be 22 but i have gone through so much and everything that happens in my life and the feelings i get i bottle up inside as well and i do cry myself to sleep a couple nights a week but since i have been able to talk about what is on my mmind i havent cried as much but i use to cry myself to sleep everynight or i would just cry at night and not get any sleep but cry if you have to but also talk about what is on your mind i just joined this and have talked a couple times it is really helping tho try to let it out

crying is one of the best releases...talking is another, either here or do you have a theraphist?

cry... and cry hard. i tend to lay on the floor and pet the cat while i sob....she is such a good and calm cat. my mother would say cry and nap and when you wake up you will feel better and i hate to admit it...but she is right, usually is. i also have a file on the puter that is labeled private...and my husband knows not to go near it...and i just babble my head of to it. it has been helping. good luck hun!

I used to bottle it all up,now every f%%%%r gets to share my misery.Msg me if you wanna chat hun x
