I have been crying a lot today. I cried at my gym where there were lots of people around and then again at my son's school which was busy. Most people just ignored me and didn't ask if I was alright. Its as though there is a stigma. I have to go to the school but I feel too embarrassed to go back to the gym. I feel I just want to keep my head down and not speak to people. I am going back to my doctor tomorrow but even feel embarrassed at doing that. Do other people feel that way?

A lose-lose situation!!!
Yet, they tell you not to stay home and hide!!
it was a hard day when i realised that no one was going to come along and rescue me from my problems, but it also reminded me how many times i had rescued myself, and i think that's something to be proud of.
your doctor, if you've managed to find a good one, will have nothing but sympathy for you. sometimes, i think, you have to do something obvious like start crying before people really get how bad you're feeling.
please dont be embarrassed, big deal so you cried a little.you could have done much worse...hugs ...no one is going to look down on that, and they may have just felt funny because they didnt know what to say..
if you are getting to the heart of the problems, that definitely could be it.
everything is just right there on the surface , and of course you will cry easy,
but believe me that means that it is working,and that you definitely are on your way to healing,and almost there.
hugs
