Breaking Down

Last week, I cried myself to sleep. On top of a stressful work week, something had upset me for quite a while and an event at work triggered those very sad emotions.
When I got home, I felt deeply misunderstood, and after dinner, I felt like I wanted to shut down. The more I thought about the pain, the more the tears flowed.

I couldn't stop myself from crying, and I eventually fell asleep. About an hour later, I woke up trying to function normally again, then my family caught a glimpse of me and asked me what happened.

At that point I broke down once more and couldn't stop. I have not felt this sad for a long, long time... :(

Some people say it's good to be able to cry it out, and time and friendship can help you get through the negative emotions.

I am glad I have the support of family and friends. But my hope is that the situation that brought on this episode will not last forever :S
