Good article, thanks for sharing that!!!   Yea, in recent years I just let myself cry when I need to cry, it helps a lot. Makes you stronger afterwards. It sort of lets all the upset and bad feelings out, instead of piling up.

I would have run for the hills screaming too, but, there's nowhere to go, LOL, I'm kind of stuck to deal with it whether I want to or not.

I think being on anti-anxiety medication help, it's a low dose of Effexor, but it takes a bit of an edge off of things.  I did have one incident where I had a panic attack driving to work, and pulled over and called my doc, whom in turn called 911 and an ambulance came to pick me up.  They just gave me something for the day and sent me home... this was I think around two years ago... I forget exactly. It was amid a battle with IRS for some errors they made on my business taxes after closing down my business....
I didn't want to go through that ambulance thing again. It was kind of embarrasing, I wasn't that bad, I think.

I think I'm super lucky with my honey, he is very compassionate, and very gentle and helpful when he sees I need to cry it out.  (Well, he better be, he has a degree in psych)  Wonderful guy!

My ex was one of those whom thought crying was bad... which is a big reason he's my ex. Used to make me so mad when, if I got sad, he'd call me weak... which would get me really crying... but as an expression of anger. Couple times he was pestering me about why I cry, and not get angry at him when we fight. I told him I do get angry, and I either hae to cry through it, or I have to punch you out to release it. Take your pick!   :crying: :cursing:  LOL, he never expected that answer - the look on his face was priceless!

Overanalyzing... I need to check myself into OA - Overanalyzers Anonimous!
