When you only have yourself to lean on and there is no one around who cares if you're sad, you can't afford to feel anything bad. It's a luxury that saps energy and time spent on more productive behaviors. Crying only makes sense if there is someone around to answer it. Preferably someone who can help you.
This is good stuff to work on. Have you discussed this lack of support with your T? Have you grieved it in therapy? Do you have a plan to build a life which includes supportive people?
