I am observing that in the past few days I have been crying a little more than what can be considered okay.  Sometimes crying helps me to feel relax all the past trauma associated with family and past abusive relationships with men.  But I notice that it also makes me dull and depressed and generally melancholic afterwards.  I feel like releasing all the pain built up inside and crying helps with it.  But I don't want to feel like a zombie afterwards. I fear I might sink into deep depression if this trend continues.  How can I find a balance here? I want to let out without feeling very heavy or traumatized?  Any tips are helpful. Please no judgemental answers..  I won't respond to any comments that appear judgemental. I had enough of those victim-blaming  comments.
