I totally identify. Whenever there is a crisis, I am stoic. Water is my release and salvation. I cry in the shower too. I take water aerobics at the y. I love the beach. Now with the rain, I am depressed. I need the water to revitalize and re energize me. I love being submerged in the water. It is like a bubble surrounding me. Keeping me safe from all the outside pressures.

This was very thoughtful, insightful, and very well written. Thank you.
