Tonight I was crying in the locker room after my workout. I don't know why--I was just down all day. Tired but not from a lack of sleep. Struggling with sadness. When I exercise, those feelings get even stronger--my resistance to the feelings melts away with my workout.
Normally I go into a bathroom stall and sit on the toilet to bawl. Today I was just frozen in place, sobbing and sweaty. It's not a very busy locker room.
I looked up to see a woman had approached me. She put a generous pile of tissue in front of me.
"Whatever it is," she said, "it's going to be okay."
She had her own issues. Her own life. And she took a moment to be kind and encouraging to me when I needed to hear exactly that.
So tonight I'm telling you, too: It is going to be okay.
Sit. Feast on your life.

^^^^Ditto, Norabird!!! So glad every time I hear of someone acting with unexpected compassion. That's awesome.
Sorry those sad moments can be overwhelming. And she was right -- it IS going to be okay.
Take care, Norabird.

(((norabird))) Yes. It will most definitely be ok. Thank you for sharing that story. It's nice to know that there is still some benevolence out there.

I am blessed at the kindness of strangers. People do shitty things but many do beautiful things as well. Wow
I never realized you could be in this much pain and not be dying.

As mainlyinpain said you give a lot to the SI community with your helpful advice, even with all your own distress to deal with.

I was in Church last Sunday and the sermon was about "A True Friend". I bawled the whole time. I have only been to that church 3 times and a lady came up to me with tissue and gave me card with her name and number after that said call me anytime.
The random acts from a stranger during times like this is so powerful.
norabird, I have lost it at the gym as well. I do think working out helps get a lot of emotion to the surface. Wish you lived closer. I'd go work out with you! {{{Hugs}}}
