A good cry

Just been on to the Helpline and I actually started crying. Haven't been able to cry since my last op over a year ago but actually did. Not for long though. Would love to be able to have a really good cry but at least its a start

noone should in any way be embarrassed about crying its one of the most underated emotions life one day at a time is the only way us survivors can cope i am 5 years on acceptance and struggle on in whatever way is best fior you not what you are told

No embarrassed really, just overjoyed. Have felt many a time in the last year that I wanted to cry but wasn't able to. Once I started today i took a while to stop and it felt good to let it all out. Been building up for a long time

supertwizzle ... congratulations. I did not cry for two years as i could not; unless in that situation you do not realise how important a good cry is. I am really pleased for you.

supertwizzle, i know that feeling it was like the floodgates burst for a while and i could not stop crying at the unfairness and injustice of the whole situation.

It got better after a few weeks but now I can cry at inappropriate times the same as I laugh inappropriately.

Hugs, stick with it and keep smiling even through the tears.
