I broke down today and faced something that has crushed my heart. I cried from the depth of my soul. It took my breath away. Now I am a little calmer, butI have this choking feeling in my throat and I'm overcome with sadness. I'm so depressed. Just needed to tell someone.

I am so very sorry that things have gotten to this point. Crying can really be a release though!

That's really good on you for letting some of the pus out. it hurts to clean a wound. and it might take a few goes, as well - but it does mean it can start to heal at last.

And it's really weird where you can end up when you let these things heal. Like really weird. You can discover that you had ideas all around the wrong way in your head, and now that you have faced your pain, felt your feelings, suffered your woes thoroughly, well hey, suddenly it all seems so simple and easy and okay. :)

I'm sorry you're going through this.

When you say that you faced this thing, would you mind talking a bit more about it if doing so would help? Did you take an action? Did you come to a psychological realization?

I hope that you're feeling better and will keep us up to date on this board about how you're doing.

It is good to share your pain. The crying was a healthy response and cathartic, as mentioned. When it has happened to me I always feel better afterwards. It is like the deepest pain in by core. Screaming sobs can come out of me. very powerful emotions - deep, old pain -

Thank you for your courage to discuss the pain.
