This might sound weird, but I am so happy that I cried today. I've been praying that I could cry because for a long time, it was difficult for me to cry. I've been so angry and hurt inside, trying to be strong and tough. But now I just want to be soft inside. Here's what happened today. I was at work, and my boss's boss said something very rude to me and totally misjudged me about something. At first I was shaking with anger, then I started crying. Not only did I cry, but I cried HARD and for a long time. It felt so weird to me but so good. And of course, she then felt really bad about what she said and apologized. So it all worked out. I felt great for the rest of the day because I had cried out my anger instead of keeping it inside. Thank you God ! I don't understand what it means to cry [ in the medical / spiritual sense ] but I am curious.

I was at a point where I could not cry, I wanted to, but just couldnt.....even though things in my life were bad enough that I would expect anyone to cry. Then one night, I bawled like a baby......I didnt want to stop.....crying released alot of pressure......crying can be a good thing. It was for me, that night.

New Beginnings,

You truly are set for a new begining. You let yourself cry and you even did it in front of others. I did the same about two or three weeks ago at work. I felt so much better after. Crying is a relaese we need to do so much more. Great job.....

Thank you. That was touching

This section has been emailed to me every day for the past 4 days presumably by groupee. Is anyone else receiving this type of thing? Not sure at all what's up with it but curious as to why I'm getting the same thing. Maybe there's a message for me here? Haven't cried in at least 30 years but don't think reading this is going to be the solution. Wish it was that easy though.

It happened again today. I went to my bedroom to pray about some deep issues in my heart, and I started crying again. I cried the prayers. I'm not PMS-ing, so I know it's not that. Boy it felt relieving. I know that there is so much more ... to cry. I asked God to see and hear the tears I HAVEN'T cried cause I know they're there. I hope and pray that EVERYTHING will come out even if it's little by little. Cause I want to be soft again ...

To me assertive behavior is the most difficult one to achieve. When ever I get in front of others I start to breathe hard and it's embarrassing and shameful that they are more concentrated on my behavior than what I'm saying. How do I get over the fact that people think I'm weird and crazy?
