How often is healthy to, let's call it, let the breaker trip, and just cry for a couple hours? I made sure everyone is asleep in another room and I'm being quiet so there's no worry about my wife or kids seeing me.

This is something that I've I've realized I do every 4 or 6 months for at least the last few years. I don't have to and can stop if my wife or kids come out and could see me crying just like anyone else could but after too long I have to let it out.

I'm not suicidal or even have general depression or anything. Everyone has plenty of food and water/milk/juice my wife and kids aren't going without anything necessary by any means. I'm doing just fine supporting my family.

If anyone knows a better sub to post this to or tips to deal with it I would be appreciative.
