"Why do people cry? Recent evidence suggests that the tears produced by emotional crying may be a way that the body disposes of toxic substances. It may seem strange to think of crying as beneficial, yet many people say that "a good cry" makes them feel better."

I was extremely anxious and hyperventilating all week. Last night I had a conversation in the chat room that made me cry. I felt much better afterwards.

Trapper is very intuitive. He gave me some good advice and lots of hope. I felt good all day today, even though I went to a family gathering, and everybody was mad at me.

They apparently think I'm lazy. My brother wants me to get a second job. He says I'm killing my mother because she is worrying herself sick about my financial situation. I just laughed it off. They have no idea how sick I've been, or they'd be encouraging me to forget the bills, stay home and rest. The craziest part is, he's been living with my parents rent-free for over a year and never has any money.

Thank you so much for this very helpful information-

Crying is not grief; it is a way of getting over your grief. Trembling isn't the same as fear. Rather it is part of a letting go of fear. In the same manner, embarrassed laughter, yawning, and even rap[id, excited talking are parts of the healing process that get mistaken for symptoms of the problem.

Jante Yassen, a Boston area social worker who leads groups for incest survivor, talks of the necessity of at least "1500 hours of crying" to get over the hurts of incest.

When we experience a loss or trauma, it creates energy within us that needs to be discharged. Unresolved grief festers like a deep wound when this energy is not discharged, this then builds up a state of chronic distress = Chronic Trauma Disorder {DSM, IV - proposed - PTSD}"
