Anong Sabi ni Boy?

"Sige, iiyak mo yan. Mapapagod ka rin."
I just realized how much weight this saying has. This goes out to people who think crying can solve their problems. It eases the burden, but it does not lead you anywhere (other than the journey towards spiraling depression, I guess).

Sabi nga ni Boy Abunda, love life. Hahaha!

crying, my dear, is actually a coping mechanism. according to your post, it does not lead you anywhere other than the journey towards spiraling depression.

actually, in the perspective of psychology (and psychiatric nursing), grieving is a natural response to stess. not crying and indulging in other things such as maladaptive coping or defensive coping would actually be the things that will lead you to depression. crying is a good coping mechanism which is a big part of the grieving process. hindi lang depression and pwedeng kahantungan ng hindi pag-iyak (which can repress and halt the grieving process) ngunit iba pang psychotic disorders. =D

crying is part of the initiative of the body to cope up with reality as part of the its natural responses... it indirectly connects to the desire to hold on to life because there is value in it which would mean that the person does love life enough to cry about it! =D

don't worry... hindi ito based on personal experience... si vidibeck, 2006 ang source ko.. psychiatric nursing kasi kami ngayon.

so cry on! wag lang drastic wailing or whatever... kasi pag blunted affect naman, baka ma-diagnose ka ng schiz! catatonic type! weeeeeee.... God bless!

you're just saying that coz you are/were a crybaby.. nyahahah!!

actually, what i meant by my post is that, people who just cry their eyes out and do nothing to fix whatever's causing the 'crying' would go nowhere..

say nakipagaway ka, tapos wala kang ginawa kundi umiyak ng umiyak for 20 years dahil may kaaway ka. san ka pupulutin? san hahantong ung pagiyak mo? :P

but no one really cries to fix their problem... it's like bracketing or something... they identify their emotions regarding a problem and set it aside by crying their eyes out (even if it takes 20 years) just so they can relieve themselves of all subjectivity and face the problem objectively. dba?

anyway, cge na.. magpapatalo na ko sayo... =) antok na kasi ako eh... praise and worship kami from 5-10 pm after matapos ang mga requirements! sobrang masaya! yee! cge, enjoy your vacation! ako na lang ang kakain for you ng saudi foods! God bless mark! nyt! :D

crying is human nature.. after you cry than do something.. for me, essential pa rin ang crying.. it really relieves something..

Mark said...

oo naman.. crying helps @ micz and rj... some people are just too weak to do something after that..

anyway, kung sino man pinatamaan ko nito eh ginawa na ang dapat niyang gawin.. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

:P

i guess i agree with you on that. crying won't really get you anywhere. it makes you feel a little better about whatever situation you're in but it doesn't solve your problem, if ever there is a problem (a death of someone close to you ain't really a problem; you just have to deal with their loss and get up and move on..same thing goes with relationship breakups). and yes, you have to stop crying sometime. you can't go everyday for the rest of your life doing nothing but cry.
