I recently developed a habit where I sneak off to the bathroom in the middle of the work day and bring up a sad video clip like Wade’s death in Saving Private Ryan to help me cry uncontrollably for 30 seconds. I do this probably once every couple of weeks

I play the scene in Rocky when his trainer Mickey dies, then punch my roommate in the face. I do this every few days.

I do this with the first seven minutes of Up every couple months. It’s a nice way to let go of built in mixed emotions and feels great after.

Does it help? Sometimes a good cry is cathartic.

like

Sometimes I go sad cry like the “Where do you think we are?” scene from Scrubs. Other times I like a happy cry like Kevin turning around to see his mom in Home Alone. Gotta switch up the cries so you don’t develop a tolerance to one strain.

Sounds like controllably cry

As soon as I opened my eyes this morning I went right into a crying jag. Combination of things. Didn’t have to play a video. It just flowed. Nothing cathartic about it. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Helluva way to start the day...

Sorry your going through that. Is there anyone you can talk to?

DM me if you want to talk. I’m around...

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
