So, that is a good sign, right?

Definitely.

I find that a "good cry" is great for relieving stress, especially stress of the free-floating anxiety type. But I can cry pretty much by deciding to. Being made to cry by something like a movie when I wasn't expecting or wanting it is unpleasant and leaves me feeling wiped out but not relaxed.

Making herself cry twice a day? Jeepers. I can't help thinking she had some serious unresolved trauma.

I dunno. She was a very peaceful woman, if that makes sense.

This might be some kind of New Age-y thing. Anyway, a number of people practice this.

eta: I can't. But a sad movie can usually get the tears flowing.

tommyrot,

what about a good laugh - like laughing until you cry? That relieves a whole lot of stress for me.

That works for me. But rarely find things that make me laugh for more than a few seconds.

It sounds like the character Jane Craig that Holly Hunter played in Broadcast News. She'd take her phone off the hook every morning and have a short cry, then get on with her intense, stressful job.

Come to think of it, a good workout is a great stress release for me. I haven't ridden my bike in weeks because of this heatwave. Maybe I'll join the gym that's a block away.

I happen to love the stuff at waterfield - good quality, looks good.

did you speak to Target personnel? You really need something for your trouble. That's terrible.

yeah, I'm betting you won't but just so you know, this is the thing they are liable for. They have to keep aisles clean just to avoid potentially disabling accidents like yours.
