Okay these tears too shall pass,
Unfortunately though if anyone knocks on my door I am screwed for more then one reason with the state of my eyes plus crying has lead to blurred vision.
The worst state I ever had to answer my door in was in halls at uni. Middle of the day (I should have been in class), my room was a tip and I was a crying mess myself. Worst of all I had tried to make myself snap out of it so I'd written this vitriolic "sort yourself out" speech to myself and stuck it to my wall. It was clearly the room of a crazy person, and I had to awkwardly let the hall-caretaker come in and inspect the lightbulbs or something, very aware of how f*****g nuts I came across

.
That said, the uni did have a duty of care to us in halls and nobody ever followed up on that. If you'd have seen the stuff I'd written...
So I hope nobody bothers you this evening, it only makes you feel worse

Also crying shouldn't feel emasculating but I'm sorry if it does, that's not fair on men. Do you feel almost chemically imbalanced when you cry like this? That's how it feels to me; logically inexplicable but impossible to shake.
