I find a good cry helps me. I used to cry all the time at the beginning. (I was never a person who cried. I used to tense up and get a migraine before I would cry...but CES changed everything). Two years in, I eventually took the advice that had been offered to me many times and I saw a psychologist for several sessions. As well, I made some progress in ability to "manage" the lack of control of my bowels and bladder. That stopped the constant depressing thoughts and crying. But it is easy to slip back there and when I do I find a good cry usually pulls me out.
