Cry me a river

According to science, crying helps us to feel better. It triggers the release of the stress hormone cortisol and feel-good endorphins. For many people, crying can also help them identify and process their emotions, leading to a better understanding of how to improve their situation.

I feel like my eyes are burning and my head constantly hurts. The floodgates of pent-up emotion have opened, but I still struggle to understand and manage my feelings. I've helped those around me, but I can't seem to help myself.

Melissa Manchester - Don't cry out loud

Can remember my mom playing this song when I was a kid. Comes to mind whenever I have to hold back tears.
