>>1 I understand how you feel, I've been repressing my emotions for a long time behind an emotional dam, hating feelings of anger and sadness, I didn't let myself be sad, except on occasions when I couldn't hold it back. It really took a toll on me, because when I was sad, I was really really sad, to the point to which I became a potential threat to my own life. Now my dam is faulty, it doesn't work properly anymore and dealing with my emotions now is really tough.
My advice to you, from my own experience, is to learn to deal with your emotions properly, find a quiet spot and cry, let yourself be sad, recognize it and deal with it properly. Tell someone about it, because friends and family are there for you, to make you feel better, to lift your spirits when you're down. But if you're like me, I don't really tell people how sad I am, I hide it, instead I come here and I get the support that I need anonymously. We Dollars are here for you. I hope that this helps ^.^
