Stress Center Peer Support

Just after watching th MJ Memorial, Thats the first time I have cried for years, even through my years of depression and anxiety I managed to keep on top of the tears but that has really set me off. Makes me wonder why I am so weak. I had tickets to go and see him in a couple of weeks to, thats how far I came with my recovery from Anxiety, I was agoraphobic and now look at me, was all ready to go to the O2 in London.

Maybe you cried because you were excited and looking forward to going to London for a show, and now that chance has been yanked from you. But--- you can still go and go somewhere else or to another show.

I don't see having an emotional response as weak.

Sure sounds like those are wonderful tears! Tears to release pent up emotions; nothing wrong with that at all!
You should be proud of yourself for many reasons! Now you can pick another concert you want to go to and seek the challenge!

I'm glad you posted on this, I almost did, but didn't because I can't say I'm one of MJ's "core" fans who would get tickets to his shows, but of course like most everyone else, I loved him and his music.

I watched the memorial from beginning to end, and cried the whole way through! I have never seen anything so sad or touching or intense in my entire life, and that's saying a whole lot, because I'm a cryer by nature and very sensitive. But this thing really got to me today!

I mean I feel physically & emotionally drained! I got no work done today, only worked on my anxiety program, which I'm glad about. But if I felt this way, I can only imagine what his core fans must have felt. Wow.
