Sometimes you just need a good cry…

by Adrienne on July 12, 2010

As unhealthy as it sounds, I tend to bottle up my emotions and have a mini breakdown quarterly. I deal with things by pushing the emotional part away and trying to reason and nit pick about the situation. This makes me feel better temporary but as we know, I ignore the very vital part of dealing with the anger, hurt, sadness, etc etc before moving on. Therefore, I have myself a good cry a few weeks or months later.

And I feel better. As terrible as it sounds, I think the bigger the sobs, the better. It’s cleansing. Sure, I would be better off dealing with the emotions when they actual are supposed to happen but I know I am not alone here.

I had myself a big old sob fest last night. Things have been busy in my life and I’ve been trying to channel my inner energizer bunny and I finally crashed and burned last night. I felt miserable. I woke up this morning and was very thankful for my Kiehl’s Avocado Eye Cream. However, as I moved on with my day, I felt better and well like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

And I feel even better after writing this post.

Hope you all had a beautiful Monday!

Oh I agree 100%…even though I try to deal with my emotions on a daily basis as much as possible, either time or my own selfish refusal to deal… I usually end up really letting it loose when just the right sullen music happens to be on and I will come across “that” story.. a dog, a kid, a person who’s been wronged, really..really wronged.. makes me start to think, the gears start grinding and before you know it I’m furious and deeply sad and the tears are rolling off my chin and the world seems like it is coming to a hault and all is bad.. each note or instrument plays draws it out of the heart and mind until no tears remain and somehow at the end I feel lighter and energetic.. it’s like nothing else in the world. ;]
