Not in a good way but: “crying never solved anything.”
It might not be a full solution but it sure is a relief. Still can’t cry to this day without feeling guilty about it.
It’s a relief valve. Sometimes when I find myself overwhelmed and feel like I want to collapse, I’ll go watch a bunch of emotional videos to make myself bawl for an hour or two. It’s extremely cathartic, and I usually feel a lot better afterwards.
My go-to videos are Thai commercials on YouTube. Short, super heart-wrenching, and unimportant enough that I don’t feel bad afterwards like if I watched a sad movie like Schindler’s List or Grave of the Fireflies.
