Rebbe Nachman writes that when a person sighs he becomes a completely new person. By sighing over his wrongdoings he disconnects himself from his baser side and reconnects to holiness.
This is a result of the fact that even though he finds himself in a disconnected state, he turns to Hashem.
Many people see themselves as only able to truly be functional when they are operating at full capacity (מוחין דגדלות). They view the times when they are down as being blank spaces in their lives. It would have been better had they not even been alive. They are embarrassed by those times and wish to disassociate from them. These people are not even connected to their own selves. They hide from others and are surely not interested in connecting to Hashem.
Rebbe Nachman is teaching that these are also times of being alive. Even then a person has the ability to connect to Hashem through crying, screaming, moaning and sighing.
