I hope these frustrations have passed by now. I completely understand the feelings you described, especially about wanting to be there for family and not being able to. This time will pass, just remember that.
Moving is one of THE MOST STRESSFUL things person can go through. Really. I think it’s in the top three with weddings and funerals. You will feel so much better when you get settled in your new place.
HUGS!

I have some watermelon from the garden I need to use up, and that sounds like a great idea!

I wish I could give you a big hug!! Sounds like you could use one…and hugs can be so helpful! It sounds like you have a stressful situation going on. I can identify. I’m pretty bogged down with grad school, work, and just plain life. Those good cried are the most needed sometimes; it’s definitely good to have let it out :)

i almost cried last night at 3 AM when i was dealing with 5 drunk roomies/friends. but that is a story for another day…

I think crying and letting it all out is GREAT therapy! Plus having stuff to look forward to. I often, in times where I have upcoming horrible stuff, focus on the target (ie, a few weeks from now) when it will all be over. Love your list of things to look forward to :D

I can’t remember the last time I cried. I usually need a major release every now and again, but have been kind of…numb lately. I am going to make a list of stuff I am looking forward too :D

A good cry can be a wonderful thing (although the eyes look cruddy the next day!).

Last time I totally bawled was a few months ago when my kitty passed away.

Think of the homeless night as an adventure! When we moved to NY, our house closed 3 weeks before our new one, and we lived in temporary housing (read… ick!).

It will all be over soon enough.

I can’t remember the last time I cried like that. Maybe when I lost my job last year?

Have no fear, love! It’ll all work out! One night on a futon in the newsroom isn’t the end of the world! More comfortable than the endless nights of sleeping in airports I’ve had, I imagine!

Chin up!

A good cry always makes me feel a little bit better. Today’s a new day – I hope it’s much better!

The last time I cried was when the bestie moved away. I was stressing about work but I’m feeling better about it. I’m looking forward to school starting :)

My last big cry was about a week and half ago. I’ve had mono for the past month, I was getting ready to go on a trip and at the last minute found out my husband wasn’t going…then new lymph nodes swelled up and I just got frustrated and lost it. Felt better after though.

Right now my big stress is my daughter starting high school! So much potential for trouble…

I don’t do it often and most of the time when I do, it’s out of frustration not sadness.

I had a great one yesterday–I’m unemployed with piles of student loan debt and will be uninsured in a week, and my fiance works all day at a great job he loves and I’m jealous. It helps just to get it all out.

Chin up! When things get bad, I just tell myself, “one day at a time, one foot in front of the other.” Big internet hugs!

I think you need a good cry every now and then. I’m not sure of the exact last time I did, but it wasn’t too long ago, I promise that. I hate crying, but I know it’s good to just let it out when life gets overwhelming.
