Crying in the ladies' bathroom syndrome.
| Wed, 07-21-2004 - 7:24pm |
Ladies,
I had a nasty situation at work today. A superior was extremely mean to me in front of other people. I was humilitated. I ended up crying in the ladies' bathroom. I haven't done this in quite a while but I still end up crying in the bathroom when someone is nasty to me. How can I stop punishing myself and making myself miserable over someone else's lousy behavior????
Anyone also suffer from crying in the ladies' bathroom syndrome??

Yes I can admit to that whole heartedly.. sometimes I dont even make it to the bathroom.
I am a very emotional person and I can cry easily when I feel overwhelmed by something whether it its negative or positive. Im a definate happy tears person too hehe.
I never get down on myself for the crying though. Being able to express my emotions is important to me.

I'm not saying you should break down in front of your supervisor--that could easily go against you. I just wanted to let you know that you're not the only one who cries easily--and I think it's so awesome that you're able to make it to a private place before you lose it. I don't know if emotional sensitivity is something that you can do very much to "correct." In my case, I need to work on staying calm until I can be alone or with someone I trust before breaking down. But you can already do that, so maybe this is your body's way of 'releasing' the pain you feel from your boss' insults. I would say just keep letting yourself cry and try not to beat yourself up about it. Letting your emotions out is so much better for you than holding it in.
Hope that helps.
