You're never alone!

Today is what I would call a "bad day".
Yesterday I had my first proper session of a specific type of counselling. I've had many counselors and many different sessions; but yesterday was the first time I ever cried.
So much got discussed yesterday, which is great and the first step to getting better. But right now I feel emotionally drained.
I spent a good hour yesterday crying about bringing up bits n bobs I've held onto for the last 3 years. Its bound to be a difficult road to recovery when you've held in so much for a long period of time.
Today although I feel less upset and no longer regret talking about everything, I still feel "ugh" I don't want to do anything, I feel almost nothing. (This lovely misty rain does not help)
I know it wont last forever and it wont be easy the next few weeks after my sessions, but this time I must be more positive about counselling.

I'm really writing this post to show and let people know that it's ok to cry. Its ok to talk about your feelings. Don't bottle things up, Don't end up like me; holding everything in so that when tiny bits slip out you feel  emotionally drained for 24 hours.
Don't ever feel alone, There is always somebody you can talk to! A friend, relative, teacher or counselor. It is so much better to get your feelings out when you have them rather than to hold them in.

If there is one thing yesterdays session taught me is that everyone's feelings are valid. No matter what you feel at any point of time in any situation your feelings that you have are okay to have. You all have reasons to have these feelings, so don't hide them, let them out:)
