I don't know if it's a control thing or what but I never let anyone see me cry. I very rarely cry, but when I do, it's like a dam has burst. I only do this when I am alone, usually in bed at night, and I usually cry until I am so exhausted I fall asleep. The next morning I wake up feeling like a huge burden has been lifted. The only other time I cry is when I am with my T and I feel totally safe with her and that's usually when I'm talking about something very sad like someone who has died. Lovelorn has some good points. I don't have DD but holding back the tears and other emotions can take such a toll on a person's physical, as well as, mental well-being. It's really done a number on me. It's why I'm in therapy today. I have a lot of anger that I've never expressed. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to take over your thread but in a way it's really a compliment to you. You ask some really good questions. Many of your posts are really thought-provoking. You make me think about things I might not want to think about but need to think about. You've helped me more than you'll ever know. I only wish I could do something for you but I just don't know much about DD. I will try to learn more about it. For now, I think lovelorn has given you some good advice. Give yourself permission to cry. It's o.k. to cry. Do it in a safe place. For me, that's with my T. The tears come easier when I'm sad. What happens when you feel sad? Again, I'm sorry about your thread and I didn't mean for this to be so long. You are such a kind-hearted person and you give so much to others. I just want you to be happy and find some answers that will give you some piece of mind. You DESERVE all that and more!!! HUGS
