Its taking me all my energy to get through the day without crying in front of people. The day gets more demanding, i feel overwhelmed and I hold those tears back like a pair of huge iron flood gates. In the last couple of weeks its been getting harder and harder to do. Its so embarrassing and I feel weak and pathetic if the flood gates open. I run for cover somewhere and hide! What can I do?

I know how hard it is pretending everything is fine when you are falling apart inside. I struggle with the daily, too. Have you seen a psychiatrist or a therapist? I see a psychiatrist and he has given me medictation to help. I'm not sure yet if it's going to work but I have hope. You are not weak or pathetic, you just need some help. Wishing you the best.

Open those flood gates and let the tears poor forth. Then you have your answer.
Thanks for this!

Yoga has helped me. Maybe you can try it out. Or go on a nature walk. Focus outside of yourself. On the trees, on your breath, on the skies. And if something comes up from deep inside of you, let it come up. Let it be in the moment. It's time to just be. You can later try to figure out the cause of it.

Hey! I have two best two option for you. 1) Either share the reason to whom you can trust 2) or stand before the mirror and tell whatever you want to yourself. I think first option is the best one. If you want to share with me you can share.
