Hello Melody,
I saw a friends post on facebook yesterday. Then I saw your post last night and thought you might be encouraged with the following.

I hope you are feeling better today!

I don't trust Wells Fargo. Several years ago, someone took out loans with them in my name. They did no background check, so when this person did not pay WF trashed my credit. Ugh! Good luck!

Melody,
If I were closer I'd come and HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG YOU!!! And then we could go on a long walk together, start talking about stuff . . . girl stuff, family stuff, make jokes or whatever . . . cry together!
I totally, absolutely understand where you are! Trust me! I'm sruggling with things right now with feeling some uncertainties, frustrations, etc.
TODAY is the last day of my job working as caregiver for my sister and it has me in an emotional tailspin. I've been doing this for four years and one month. I won't even go into the "emotional tailspin"!
I just wish we lived closer to each other!
HUGS in a big way to you, my friend!

Oh Melody I am so sorry you are sad. I am hopefully, starting to come out of my own, crying for 2 mos jag. Some of you are familiar with the story of my son and his girlfriend. Just started therapy last week for it and on the way there while driving, I cried. I still have some sadness.
Sometimes it is hard especially when it seems 'never ending'. I mean how much can a person take? Had to take my 'new' used suv into the dealer that we just bought 6 mos ago...nothing major, but nevertheless...as i climbed into my old pickup that i had passed onto my husband (he had to pick me up from the dealer because we left the suv),and as we pulled out of the lot i broke down hysterically crying.
why? overwhelmed I suppose, didnt seem normal to me but i just couldnt help it. I had my annual recently and mentioned my crying fits to my doctor, she ordered hormone testing. I just turned 43 in july, but hey you never know.
i was crying in the shower, while driving, while sitting here, just anytime. i think i was/am depressed. i even neglected my gardens this year, and anyone who knows me, knows that THAT is a sure sign of something wrong.
I always try to tell myself that someone always has it worse, and that it could be worse for me. sometimes it helps, and sometimes it doesnt.
I'm so sorry you are going through a rough time. what gives me comfort is knowing I can always come here...because the girls on this forum, even though most of us have never met, are incredible, unique & supportive. please know that it will get better, and we must hold our head high and be strong, the best way we know how.
you cry whenever you feel the need, holding it in is not healthy.
what personally helps me a lot is some serious comedy that makes me laugh SO hard. ever watch carlos mencia? he is so funny.
not sure if it is appropriate to post here, but just google "20 Most Awkward Autocorrect Moments"...it made me laugh so hard i couldnt breathe. when i tried reading them to my sister over the phone, it was hard because i could stop laughing. then she couldnt stop laughing.
after that, i am telling you, i felt SO relaxed, from laughing so hard. laughter is good medicine.
what i try to remember is that troubles in some form may always be present, but i try to tackle them in a way that doesnt consume me. i pray that everything for you will settle down and that you find piece of mind.
big hug and smiles
Connie

Melody,
Just saw this post, and am hoping that you are feeling better! Sending you hugs. I can totally relate (what woman cant???) LOL
Smile, everything will work itself out and be okay. Soemtimes little things can really get to us, but just step back, take a deep breath and realize that in the great big scheme of life, these little things really arent that important!
Hugs,

Just let it all out! Don't be so hard on yourself about the money thing. We all make mistakes and that one can be fixed. Prayers that things go better for you tomorrow and onward.

Hugs Melody....money problems make me feel like crying too. Especially when they last a while. Maybe a check up on your hormones would be a good thing too. I just recently got on birth control pills for the first time in my life at 49, it changed my life for the better. I wish i had done it 30 years ago. Take care Sweety.

Melody you and I are sisters in tears today. I really think stress brings on such emotions for us. I pride myself on being strong but sometimes the flood gates have to open and I have to completely drain myself to really get back on track.
Dry those tears and look to the gifts GOD gave us. I finally managed to stop by talking with the neighborhood cat outside who was in a very talkative mood today. lol Plus this kitty named Tigger ALWAYS agrees with me. :0)
Stay strong and I'm saying prayers and sending hugs your way.
hugs,

Oh Melody,
So sorry you are having a bad day ... go ahead and cry ... Sometimes in life you will take two steps back and one step forward ... but that my friend is how we learn our lessons in life. Try not to get tunnel vision tho ... and yes, tomorrow will come and things will look a little better.
take care ...

Thank you dear Annie for your words of wisdom and comfort and Jessie thank you for your prayers. I'm exhausted-I tend to be reserved on the outside, but a big baby on the inside and I do hold it together nearly all of the time. Tends to make me appear aloof and disinterested, but I'm quite the opposite.
Money troubles here and a missed mini-vacation due to my son's sudden ear infection (We were really looking forward to our Minnesota trip) and then today a big on-line Banking surprise that started the whole crying jag....My banker mis-informed me about transferring fees of an old balance to a new credit card. I hate being misled and me being so gullible about trusting someone in an authority position. Makes me mad and then I cry. The Bank "issue" will be resolved tomorrow as DH and I have decided to pull ALL of our accounts with Wells Fargo after 19-years and find another bank to carry our accounts. A lot of money wasted on "fees" etc. that were not disclosed to me. I thought I was doing a good thing, but it turned out to be a very bad thing in the end. I wanted to make a huge difference in paying off an old debt and was quick to sign on the dotted line. My fault entirely for being so trusting... You would think at my age I would be a little more careful. I hate getting "taken." But, as Scarlet O'Hara claims "Tomorrow is another day!"
It's only 4:30 here but I went ahead and got into my p'j's and DH was a sweetie and just brought me a Chocolate Milk-Shake-What a sweetheart he is.
Thank you Annie and Jessie-You made me feel better and the tears are just on the edge now. |

Hi Melody,
Annie here again. I knew crying has benefits so my curiousity had me look up the topic and I did find some interesting articles on the web, just type in "benefits of crying". It removes a lot of toxins from the body, that would otherwise stay inside. Very interesting and short articles worth the read.
I guess one should watch a sad movie every so often to get a cry in to remove the toxins that accummulate.
According to the article you should be feeling better soon as crying also kicks in the endorphines.
Best to you,
Annie

Hi Melody,
Sometimes a good cry is needed. Sounds like you may just suppress a lot and it finally comes to the surface. I know you have had your difficulties in the area you are living in. It just causes an underlying tension that may need to be released. Be sure to be taking enough Vitamin D especially since the days are getting shorter. I would take a shower and cry in the shower, but then since such a long period of crying is exhausting and may be hard on the heart, as the shower is getting near the end, tell your self the tears can stop when the shower is turned off and it is time to settle down. Tonight before you go to sleep ask yourself to let you know in a dream what it is that is upsetting you. Make some tea to sip and take a walk in the open air. Deep breath to settle down. This may help break the crying spell. And perhaps you are just sensitive to the collective energy that is out there. Right now a lot of people are in havoc with the hurricane. Perhaps all the wind and rain and the people's grief is being felt by you. You will have to try to collect yourself and become calm. Rest up now and rejuvenate for a new day tomorrow.
May the peace that passes all understanding come to your soul.
Annie
