Crying
 

I cried at a birth the other day, it wasn't even that emotional, it was a c-section. I've never cried at a birth before, i feel like I'm losing my grip already.

But then I think why am i crying at a birth and i don't even cry any more when i am depressed? I feel like a loon...

I don't even know what i'm posting this for. Reassurance? But then you don't know who i am under my normal username. arghhhhhh.

Why hide?

Loons are cool! Loons are just normal people with a few mental health problems who are generally lovely but just a little broken!! Its the nutters you gotta worry about!!

I cry at lots of wierd things these days. its probably my age but often when i mention it in therapy there is pretty much always a reason.

Births can be quite symbolic. They represent new beginings, innocence, joy, happiness, unity, purity and many other things. Perhaps you werent crying at the birth per se but perhaps it represented something for you inside?

As for reassurance; your a loon and not a nutter! Nutters wouldnt question these feelings. They would think nothing of them, put on a hat made of mouse droppings and follow an old lady home!

I know this is a little late of a reply but just wanted to reassure you that their is nothing wrong with crying a a birth, they can be a very emotional occasion and can often bring up other stuff for us. Hope your okay. Take care

Hey.

Sorry i haven't replied for ages. I've been ill (physically) and have important exams next week. I have lost nearly all my study time, my brain is mush as i'm really upset about the whole situation. I usually get sick AFTER exams when holidays start!

I am starting to feel like everything is just hopeless. I really needed to improve my grades and now I just feel like I might not even pass.

Good luck with the exams
