We were talking about this recently in a thread over on E Jean Carroll's newsletter. When I have really been in crisis in my life, submitting to the feeling of falling (apart) rather than putting on a "brave face" and trying to pretend it wasn't happening was always the best thing to do. It didn't make the crisis smaller but I do think it made the recovery shorter.

One cannot rise without falling.
