Belongs to: Therapist reacts to Happy? by Mudvayne
I’m not sad, but I feel I have so much sadness inside me. Every time I hear the song can’t help but cry without feeling anything, the tears just fall without control.
Music have so many different interpretations. It’s okay to cry in a certain songs that might relate or not in a certain way. I also cry too in a few songs that I listen to. You aren’t alone in type of situation. Some days you are going to happy or sad. Just remember to take care of yourself. Sad doesn’t always have to be dark or negative. People do cry to make themselves feel better.
It’s okay to cry, friend. It’s okay to let the tears out. At the end of the day we’re only human beings, and allowing ourselves to feel what needs to be felt can sometimes be a real crutch. Maybe this song reveals in you emotions that are usually left hidden or pushed aside, and maybe listening to it brings this opportunity to reconnect to how you feel deep inside. I know for me personally that there are songs that have this powerful effect on me of letting wounds I’ve been holding inside being expressed somehow. could it be through anger or tears, when I allow myself to embrace the emotion and sit with it, I usually feel a little better after. Like a weight that has been lifted thanks to the magic of music and relating to the emotions it generates in us.
I’ve personally carried so much sadness in me that sometimes I wonder how I’m still functioning. Like you I’m not necessarily sad at other times, but it feels like there is this “soil” in me that is made of sadness, nostalgia, sorrow, sometimes even agony. It feels like there’s a pain within that doesn’t speak for one source or one time when I felt hurt, but for the accumulation of pain I’ve been feeling throughout my life. It’s scary though because oftentimes it makes me wonder what’s inside of me. It feels a little bit like looking at a very dark pit without seeing the bottom of it, wondering how high it is and if it is safe to try to explore it.
It can be scary to feel that deep inside there’s a lot of sadness, and to just not know what to do with it though. When it catches you by surprise, it can make you wonder how deep it is and for how long ar y ou going to feel sad or cry. What if you open that door,is it ever going to stop? How can you know if you’ll regain some control over it or not at some point? Is it going to completely overwhelm you, making you feel like you just can’t function anymore?
Somehow, we’d rather avoid those emotions, push them away and bury them very deep - and it’s a normal reaction. Still, they have a reason to be, a reason to exist, even if we might not always know why it is there at a given moment. It’s okay and safe to release the tears when you need it, friend, and I hope that this time doing so brought a little bit of peace to your heart.
Music offers these times of self-reflection and quiet where emotions happen to seem so loud inside of us. Somehow, it’s a beautiful gift that we offer to ourselves and a powerful way to reconnect with our soul, but it’s certainly exhausting. It takes so much energy to let ourselves feel and stop pushing away the things we’d rather avoid. If anything, you did well by naming and identifying these emotions when you were feeling them. I hope the sadness will give room for a lot of beauty and joy in your heart moving forward, at your very own pace.
