Guest guest Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Cheryl said: Dear Friends,I need help. I feel that my emotions have shut down because of everything I have had to deal with in this past 7 months. The death of my brother and then my sister getting cancer. She is in chemo now and has just lost all of her hair and as you know, I shaved my head in solidarity with her. But what I am concerned about is that I haven't cried but one time in the last 7 months and I know that I am shutting out emotions (unconsciously) , because I am acting compulsively and having a lot of physical stress related problems. I am not sure what to do about this and seek you advice or help. I do not believe that a person who doesn't show emotions is strong. If anything I believe the opposite, so I don't understand why this is happening.Love, Light, Peace and Joy,CherylVisit me at: _http://www.myspace. com/senegalady_ (http://www.myspace. com/senegalady) Hi Cheryl, What comes to mind here, is to accept yourself without any judgment whatsoever, and allow yourself to be how you are in each moment. Everything happens for a reason; you are not "broken", there's nothing to fix or repair; unless it's comparing oneself to other's experiences. There is no "right way" or "normal" behavior. We all go through our own processes in our own good time. Accept this experience as it is, and go through it knowing that "this too shall pass". Everything has a season, and when it's time, you will express what is needed THEN. This is NOW, and you must be in it.
