Well, I say "chat"...she did most of the talking, and all I could do was murmur acknowledgement every now and then. I'm not well and she could see that I'm not well, so I felt under no pressure to hold anything back or not let on about how bad I really feel. Although I did manage to hold the tears back...we talked mainly about my family and I kept feeling on the verge of crying, as it became apparent to me just how much I miss my family. But crying isn't going to help improve the situation. It might offer a short-term relief, but that is not enough. If I got into the crying mentality then I'd cry all the time, and it wouldn't change a damn thing.
It's good to talk though.

Steve, I wish I could let you cry on my shoulder. I think that crying isn't always bad or weak. It makes you release tension built up inside you. Maybe you should try it! I wish I could give you a real hug but all I can do for now is send you virtual (((HUGS))), xxx
I'm so glad you were able to talk to your advisor.
I sometimes feel better too after talking to my therapist. She talks a lot more than I do, but it helps not having to hide the pain and having someone understand.
Hey thankyou both for your comments. I think I probably will have a good cry at some point!
