Have you hit the emotional wall yet?

I hit the wall this past weekend.

I was full of frustration

my head was resting in my hands

Tears were rolling down my cheeks.

I’d had enough.

I’m tired of the pandemic.

Tired of people dying.

Tired of the political anger.

I’m so over my broken hand.

Tired of being inconvenienced.

Bored with the social isolation.

Done.

Is this happening for you?

I let the tears flow because I knew

crying was the only way through the pain.

Resisting the emotions only makes them stronger,

or cause headaches, stomach pain, anxiety.

Talking to people can help but only

if you talk with the right person.

If you don’t get the right support for you

it can add to the level of frustration.

Letting go of the tears allows

the emotions to move through you.

Crying releases oxytocin and endorphins,

the “feel good” hormones.

Your bodies way of helping you feel better.

So cry when you need to cry,

Get support where you can.

Recognize when you are in pain.

Instead of resisting the pain or pushing

away from the hurt,

Acknowledge the emotions and let them

move through you.

You got this …

Disclaimer:  As a therapist, I know how unexpressed pain can lead people into a dark place from which they may need professional help.  If you feel you are in that place seek professional help.  There is a way out of the darkness.
