For the past few days I have not been in the best of moods, so I wanted a few days to be by myself. There is nothing wrong with hiding from the world for a few days, especially when you do not want to be around people.
A lot of stuff has happened to me since May, and I have not cried since last semester. This past week I just balled my eyes out over everything: going from guy to guy, growing up and life in general. I do not cry often, but when I do, I like to be by myself.
Still, some people could not understand why I wanted to lock myself up for a few days. This got extremely annoying when people try to make you get out and do stuff. I realize it is important to eventually get out and face whatever is going on, but sometimes people need a few days to cry and eat cookie dough. Sometimes the best beginning of therapy is getting rid of all of those tears before you do out and face everyone, especially people you do not want to see.
Tears are a part of therapy no matter what anyone says. It proves you felt something and helps you grow as a person. Some people said don't waste time crying over what happened the past few weeks, but I want to cry because I need to know how I felt. The feelings weren't great to feel, but they were there, and I need to know they are. I'd rather feel pain rather than pretend nothing happened, denying reality.
