Is there such a thing as a good cry?

Announcement: Good morning ladies and gentleman, this is the captive speaking.... today we will be flying into the unknown and may experience turbulence.  The altitude we will be soaring at may be exceedingly high, rest assured we will plummet slightly and possibly even land Safely.  Any discomfort you may feel from the dizzying heights or sudden drop in mood will be temporary as this will fluctate wildly over the next few days.  Thank you for flying with Insanity Air and we hope you enjoy your flight-

 

I feel swirling... like I could cry or scream or collapse in bed and never get up.  I want to sleep.  I don't want to look at the to do list.  (Sometimes I call it a Ta Da list because its bleedin magic that anything gets done)  Thoughts are smoking rings floating around, you swipe at them and they are gone.    I know there are things to be done, I KNOW I need to focus, but the merry go round broke down and instead of stopping it just seems to be spinning faster.  The elevator is like a childs yo-yo and up and down seem to have minds of their own.  THIS is what I hate-  I HATE the mind racing and the body saying screw you I wanna go to bed.... Neither of them gets what it wants and I pull the pillow over my head and pray to sleep and not wake up.... But I bask in my cowardice and decide that I am scared of dying so let's no invite that thought.....

Instead, I vomit up these thoughts letting my fingers fly as if they could ever keep up with my brain... let the tears flow as if to empty out my heart as the keyboard empties out my head....  There are times it just better to throw it all up and get it out- like inducing vomiting before the poison gets too deep in your veins....

 

Maybe there is such a thing as a good cry.

I think there is such a thing as a good cry, and I hope it helps. I hope you find some calmness, that the swirling thoughts and emotions pass (as they eventually do), that you have resources to reach out for. and that you reach for them. Take care of yourself - you're worth it.

 

Sending hugs.

Thank you for the comment.  Its nice sometimes to throw the bottle into the vast ocean that is the internet and get a message back.  Everything passes... and sometimes that is a really good thing.

 

Thank you again for your comment and well wishes.

OMG, there's nothing like a good cry.  Whether it's a stress reliever or a mind distristraction, a good cry is like a cozy, warm comforter and a cup of cocoa in a over stuffed old recliner chair on a cold winter night.  It just feels GOOD!  All of us who suffer with the mood swings and the insanity and instability of daily life understand what you talk about.  So, you go girl ... have a good cry, but keep on going.  Times passes and seasons change and nothing stayes the same.  What's bad today, will be better tomorrow.  Hang in there, keep positive thoughts swirling in your head and keep posting.  We're all out here in cyberspace cheering for ya!

I'd like to say that I have found it so much easier to choose not to cry. I have somehow been able to embrace every moment and love it. I have been accused of being soleless and incensitive by my peers and family, but I can only accept their feelings and love them even their snide comments and disdain toward other human kinds. I have grown to even appreciate complete ignorance and those who seek to condemn their lesser fellows. A feeling of complete release comes over me in even the hardest situations. I can actually feel the love growing for even the people who have harmed me the most. I have gone past trying to forgive and the feeling of no escape, but I hardly know how this happened. I wonder if I can do if anyone can? My wish would be for everyone to never feel like they have to cry and they never want to stop, to wake up tomorrow and never feel that way again. I know the easiest way for me to receive love and understanding is to give it away freely and always. I can give this to all of you.
