Even though I laughed out loud through much of this, I really like the serious message too. Brava!

I love love love this and I laughed too. Ever since I started therapy for compulsive overeating I have been crying a lot. I think I have cried more the last three months than I have in my entire life. When I tell it to friends they tend to look a bit scared and worried but as you said its such a relief for the body to just have a nice bawl. In the past I have really struggled giving myself permission to do it. I did not acknowledge if something made me sad unless I could rationalize it and I think I was also afraid that if I started to cry I would somehow break. The amazing thing is you don't. I have discovered even if I surrender myself completely to the emotions there is a limit to how much I can cry. Eventually it just stops and then I feel relaxed and move on, maybe sit down and write about what happened but I do not break. I use the movie trick as well and sad sad songs on my IPOD.
