So that now, all the energy that you have expended in getting through the new, the events, the challenge and the nerves leaves you basically knackered. Which is not a good place to be when upset, and is some part of being upset too in that there's less energy to keep the barriers up. and f) it's OK to be upset. I'd go for the facial and throw in a massage too. And a bit of shut eye. R x Hey Sweetie
