Tissues are a great invention
Thank you trees.

Prehaps I should have used tea-towels ???
Oh no
Guilt
No ,, seriously . Catharsis over ( for now)

I am now grateful for this opportunity to work with my emotions

I've also stumbled upon a couple of quotes ( Thank you Angels )

“The key is to not resist or rebel against emotions or to try to get around them by devising all sorts of tricks; but to accept them directly, as they are.”
-- Takahisa Kora

I do get emotional from time to time and it's OK. It feels good to share both happiness and sadness on here . It's all good. It all passes.

On the surface it looks like suffering .. it is painful.. sort of .. but bearable.

When emotions well up within me, I 'm feeling a mixture of things; sadness, overwhelm , anger, frustration, disappointment , anxiety, shame ,embarassment, pride even.

Emotions are energy in motion. , I have learned.

When I experience an emotion as energy, as mere sensation, without labelling it, it moves through me and is gone.

When I surrender to it , it passes through me,

Funny thing is , that in the middle of bawling my eyes out one part of me is aware of this ... and it feels like someone is there holding my hand.

It’s no big deal really.
It probably looks worse than it is.

Resisting only makes things worse.
This is probably the best advice I can give to anyone who is feeling sad ..just go ahead a bawl your eyes out if you can !

Relief.

“Our sadness is an energy we discharge in order to heal. … To hold it in is to freeze the pain within us.”
-- John Bradshaw

Disappointments.
Sometimes it takes just one thing
forthe tears to start to flow .
Crocodile tears
I'm feeling very low and drained at this moment.
Everything is an effort and uphill struggle.
It's been made worse by that cold, on and off for the past fortnight but now gone,
I'm feeling very vulnerable and alone
at a low point.
Breathing and staying with the feeling.
Surrendering.
I know from past experience that it does not last
.. nevertheless a pain while it does.!!!
Tears don't have to be dramatic.
Tears simply are.
Feeling better already.
*sigh*
There's nothing like a good cry.

P.S. Sympathy will just set me off again .. so don't do it, please .
