I am having emotional outbursts is it time to see a therapist?

[Anonymous]

I was informed that one of my parents has cancer and tbh its almost like i am in shock I can’t tell anyone because I can’t accept it or say it out loud. I have been crying non stop ever since i found out. I can’t control my emotions and if anyone asks me “how are you doing” I literally burst. Its so embarrassing I can’t control my tears at work, restaurants or anywhere and i often have to take myself to the washroom to wipe my tears. Its getting so annoying and if i don’t stay busy i cry instantly. I don't know what to do and I don't know if i need psychological help but at this point i feel like i need medication.

*sigh* I know I am going to come across like I am an asshole, but I have to be direct in saying this:

>>> Get your shit together!

There is a time to cry and a time to act.

When you're on board the Titanic and it hit the iceberg, whining about the iceberg and the ship going to sink isn't doing anything for anyone. Your job is to get your shit together and get to the lifeboat before you become fish food.

Right now, your family is in a potential Titanic mode. One of your parents has cancer. Instead of whining, get your ass in front of a computer and learn what is going on. Know what you, your parent, and your family are in for. Running about and whining like a chicken without a head doesn't help the situation and, in fact, makes it worse because your cancerous parent needs to focus on healing and doesn't need the additional stress of a daughter falling apart because of this. So, "Man up!"

Good luck, honey!

Sorry. That's really rough. A therapist could definitely help.

Yes, I would see someone.
you’re going through a horrible time. Also don’t be afraid to lean on others. Friends, partners, through this.
