a good cry makes me feel better?

Well, it feels like I passed a milestone, and it was a painful as passing a kidney stone. I went to bed, called my dog to join me, and holding on to her soft fur, I wept freely, and for some reason, kept repeating how sorry I was. Now, I think I'm a little better for it. As odd as it sounds, it feels like I accomplished something important by being able to do this.

You have made some sort of sub- conscious decision.

That's easy to understand. You obviously kept repeating how sorry you were for making your canine friend smell like "wet dog".

Besides, they prefer to do that themselves by jumping in puddles.

I'm not on 'mones, but even I know the power of a good cry. Even if you don't know why. *hugs for Dorothy*

Was that a rhetorical question?

...even when it doesn't seem to make any sense or make me feel better, I'm always better for having a good cry. Some how cleansed and aware of the healing that goes on, even when the pain doesn't seem to depart as swiftly as I'd like? I struggle with hope just like you, dear, and I know it is never easy when you feel you're caught between two worlds without any bridge backwards or forwards. Crying helps...always.

As a wise and ancient philosopher (and storyteller) once said, "Crying isn't meant to solve shit, it keeps us from going crazy."

"Go ahead and cry. Tears are lubricant for the soul. Males would be better off if they cried as easily as women do."
You have started releasing the wad of hurt inside you, the tears help drain the 'infection' and heal the wound... cry Dorothy, you are allowed...girls cry, you are a girl, i cry, i'm a girl...
