Yeah, I learned not to cry in front of my mother. If I cried she'd just get madder and hit me harder or whatever. I learned to go numb instead but that doesn't generalise very well to other contexts. In therapy... Sometimes I'm just a blubbering mess.
:-(
Not very pretty.It can be hard...
For me to find the balance between shutting it all down and going numb...
And really letting rip with heart wrenching sobs.
Neither of those really help, but I guess I never really learned to cry properly.
To just kind of let it out without clinging to it or winding myself up into a worse state.
