"Wow, it's been a week."
*Me at 11 a.m. on a Monday*
But seriously, sometime days, or even entire weeks, can really get to you and the only thing that can make it better is letting it all out in one big ole mental breakdown. Here's why you should just get it over with.
1. You'll feel better after.
It's like a weight has totally been lifted off your shoulders.
2. You'll be way more productive.
With that out of the way, you will be able to get on with the rest of the day's activities, but without that 80-pound burden of stress on your shoulders.
3. Everyone deserves a nice, cleansing cry.
Something about crying it out makes everything else seem not as terrible. Once you get it all out on the table, you can really look back at your problems and notice how small they are with fresh (and moist) eyes.
4. You can literally feel the stress pour out of you with each sob.
It's like the bank of tears inside of you actually weighs 100 pounds so when you finally cry it all out, you actually feel lighter. This is real. A very real feeling.
5. You'll be able to think more clearly.
You can organize your thoughts. When I lose it, I will be able to list off every minuscule thing that has gone wrong that day that ultimately led to this emotion explosion. It's just part of the process.
6. It forces you to take the pause in life that you need.
Part of most mental breakdowns is not giving yourself time to process every situation or event. If you can't digest it all, then it builds up to a point where it's gotta come back out. I guess it'd kind of be like emotional indigestion.
7. You can look on the bright side once that shady storm cloud above you shrinks up.
I really think those dark clouds that hover above you are real. Once they're gone though, you can look on the brighter side and get past your funk.
8. You can cross it off your to-do list and move onto other tasks.
With a million things to do, quit putting off your weekly pity party, get to it, and resume all usual activities. Oh, am I the only one that breaks down once a week? Ope.
9. If you wait any longer, you might implode.
I don't know, I'm not a doctor but this seems likely. Just do it. You deserve it, sweetie.
