I am a strong person in many ways and rarely cry in front of anyone. This weekend I was away with my brother and I was ill, tired and my credit card had stopped working. I started getting upset and my brother berated me for it which made me cry. I went back to the hotel room and sat there for ages silently crying alone. I now wonder why it keeps playing on my mind and physically hurts when I think of it? Perhaps it was just because I was sad that I am always there to comfort others but nobody is for me but if anything, I feel a little traumatised by it which as I am sure you will all agree is pathetic. Where is all this emotion coming from and how can I rebalance myself and be strong again? I am not used to feeling this open and vulnerable.
