[QUOTE="PlainJane, post: 596089, member: 11700"] please excuse all typos.. I don't know. I'm sorry I wish I could tell you how, but I can't. This is ging to sound a little crazy but I do envy you that when you can't keep it together you are a crier. My go to emotion is anger. Unfortunately its always been, I get frustrated, and yell, and need to cool off. At least with crying you don't risk taking out your stress on you son. I hope I'm not coming across like I'm minimizing your siutation, I'mk not. Trying to keeping it together, no matter how it eventually falls apart is not a good feeling. And I can imagine, if you don't like attention, crying tends to put you in the spot light instantly, with people asking "are you ok?'. I don't know if you feel better with more support or if you prefer to work through tough times on your own, but I can see how crying would take that choice away from you. I will say that when I used to run (I'm pregnant now, probably should add that to my siggy) that running helped me be a little more even tempered, including feeling of saddness or crying. I would get up and run like 6 miles, hard. Burn through a lot of the extra energy that makes me on edge...and for most of the day I felt as if I had woken up and drank some wine! Exercise might seem like a really weird suggestion out of left field, because it is, but I've found that I have been unable to change difficult child, unable at this point without professional help to change how I deal with stress, but regular exercise (harder the better) I drain that extra "energy" that feeds my fired of reaction to stress.....I realise how insane I soulnd, I assure I'm not insane, just trying to put words...running is like a natral xanax, though I've never actually had a xanax, but its how I imagine it would feel. :) [/QUOTE]
