Salt water

The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea.  Isak Dinesen

In the early days of my TBI, I was emotionally numb.  I didn't laugh or cry.  That has changed dramatically in the last month or so.

Now I cry all the time.  Every day.  Sometimes several times a day.  And always without warning.

I cry when I'm sad.  I'm sad a lot of the time.

I cry when I'm anxious.  I'm anxious most of the time.

I cry when I'm happy, or when someone says or does something nice to me.  


If salt water is the cure, how many tears will it take to cure me?  Maybe I need to sweat more.  Or take up residence on a beach.  Or all three.
