Yep.

Worked with a developer who had to leave the office temporarily one day to go outside and cry in his car.

Was in a team where he could have spoken to any of us and we all would have listened and helped, but I guess sometimes, some people, just need to be alone and cry.

Whatever helps them. I'm not going to judge.

I tell you it was fairly destabilizing working in a small office in a highrise in a city center. 90 minutes at best from home on two trains, open office plan in a small office space, it was like being in a cage, being so far from a space which was "mine". The only escapes were spending a long time commuting, walking around outside on busy city streets, or sitting in a bathroom stall.

I think the psychology has something to do with growing up on a few hundred acres.

Boy could I have used a crying room. Not to actually cry but just to escape for a while now and then.

I moved from the country to a city. Its been four years I still feel like this!

Out in the country I was five minutes walk from lochs and l forests. I used to be able to leave the house and walk for twenty plus miles and maybe see a handful of people. Just me, the outside and hours of alone time.

You dont realise how much you miss that! Now in a city with no car and its so hard to get away from everything. Jusy to get away and clear my head.

Yeah, I live alone but sitting inside my house unable to get out and away from life can feel so trapping.

One day ill get back.
