no one said to corral your emotions. Take your emotions into the locker room and cry your heart out.

Its dumb to stay on the bench and cry when the game is over for the very reasons you put in your post.

If you got fired from your job and couldn't care for your family etc, would you stay in your boss' office crying? No, pack your stuff up and go home or the bar and cry. Even go to your desk and cry while you get your stuff together.
