    Been there, done that.

    Fight through to the safety, cry when you get to the safe spot. Do not let emotions get the best of you - WHEN YOU ARE STILL IN DANGER.

    But learn to figure out when you are safe. This is the problem. Many folks, with your problem - our problem - do not understand how to recognize safty, do not know when it is safe to put down the burden and cry...and all too often, we "run out of endurance, before we run out of emergency".

    Rest when you can, fight when you must. - and learn to recognize when it is safe to rest, to vent, to cry, to release those emotions...or they will eat you alive. BELIEVE me, I know that. You can go years, decades, with that stuff bottled up....but it has to be released, if only in the solitary darkness, or in writing, or poetry or art, or song...but it must be released.

    Good luck, fellow warrior.
