When was the last time you cried?

I haven’t cried in 9 years, feel like a good cry would be beneficial but I can’t. I know that I have some emotional issues but I was wondering when was the last time you cried?

This evening, putting down a patient of mine I've been treating for 13 years since he was a puppy. Me and the owner sobbed on the floor together.

Yesterday all day.
Terrible PMDD. In between crying was thinking of killing myself or someone else

I cry at anything! Tonight I cried watching the tv programme The Repair Shop!

I cry nearly every day..hard to imagine for some, but it seems to be the way my body deals with everything. I cry when I’m sad obviously but also when I’m proud (like at dd’s nativity) when I’m stressed, when I’m tired. Mostly I cry when I’m angry, every time we argue I cry and i hate it. Although dp said he can always tell when I’m really angry, because I don’t cry. Grin It’s annoyingly because I hate crying! Someone only has to say one little thing and off I go..

Occasionally. When things get too much. Once or twice a year?

I've cried twice this week. Dh came out of hospital, after a week, and it's just been too much.

Yesterday I got a bif teary at home after DS threw an almighty tantrum in a supermarket.

Then when he said sorry mama

Then later when he looked at me and gave me a big kiss

Then when I watched a cilm with a happy ending

I am not normally like this but I am sleeep deprived and Aunt Flo is due a visit in 2 days Xmas Blush

Last week when I read in the paper about the Orangutan that had been kept and used in a Brothel, and it had cried and wet itself when the owner of the brothel visited it in the rescue centre.

a couple of nights ago, DH was supposed to be having biopsy's today to see if he has cancer, he's been really really stressed about it and he got upset and I did, he didn't actually have the biopsy's done today though because he was that stressed his blood pressure was up which would cause lots of bleeding. They are going to do it under general but it won't be until after Christmas so I'm hoping it won't be too far after christmas incase it is anything that needs to be treated :\

I find it really hard to cry though generally so before then it would have been month's ago. It just all mostly turns into migraines with me, I suppress it without meaning to.

Flowerfae · 17/12/2018 22:33

I saw that Mirren :( There was another article/video about an orangutan/or chimpanzee can't remember. Who had been rescued by someone who later came to visit where he/she was being looked after and he/she got really excited and jumped into his arms and wouldn't let go.

BackAwayFatty · 17/12/2018 22:34

Today & every day for the last 9 days. Going through a miscarriage. Absolutely heartbroken!

Sontagsleere · 17/12/2018 22:42

Today, in the car listening to the news about a newborn baby girl found on a Dublin beach Saturday morning. No foul play, she was still born. Mum has not come forward. I cried for baby and mum.

kittenfun · 17/12/2018 22:53

Not for ages
I am not an emotional person

FrigideBarjot · 17/12/2018 23:01

Everyday atm. My dad has terminal cancer and every time I think of him or somebody asks me "how's your dad?" I start crying😥 My mum is so strong and I feel so pathetic.

WaxOnFeckOff · 17/12/2018 23:11

Today. In the supermarket. I was walking round picking up bits and pieces and just thought about my DM who died this year and who had such a tough life. Thinking how much of a pleasure it would have been to her at this time of year, back when we were all kids, to go round the supermarket putting whatever she wanted into her trolly without worrying about it. She would have loved to have given us more when we were kids but money was always so very tight. :( I really really miss her.

PurpleWithRed · 17/12/2018 23:13

Today, at a funeral for a wonderful woman just a couple of years older than me who had a massive heart attack out of the blue.

mortifiedmama · 18/12/2018 03:38

I cried about 5 months ago, pregnancy related. Before that? I honestly cannot remember. Probably from exhaustion about 2 years ago.

I'm not a crier.

YeOldeTrout · 18/12/2018 04:25

About 12 hours ago, watching Lassie Come Home. I cry at any soppy story. I don't cry about real people dying as long as they aren't children, though. I accept death pretty comfortably.

MrWolfknowsthetime · 18/12/2018 04:31

Earlier this evening, for the first time in ages. Just a little bit low and I woke up last night because of a horrible, scary dream. So, I'm still up because I'm avoiding going to bed tonight. Going to bite the bullet now though, wish me luck.

PepperSteaks · 18/12/2018 06:48

Yesterday in Asda. I randomly remembered how MIL ruined DD’s first birthday by being her usual selfish self. Then I looked at DD and had some sort of a animalistic rush of love for her and started tearing up.

Katedotness1963 · 18/12/2018 06:51

Wednesday. All day. For no real reason. Depression sucks.

Iputthescrewinthetuna · 18/12/2018 06:55

2 days ago, my friend is going through something really hard. She broke down on the phone. I joined in, listening to her so sad broke my heart, I have no words to make her feel better, so I cried with her.

foxyknoxy30 · 18/12/2018 06:56

Yesterday

LaBelleSauvage123 · 18/12/2018 06:58

On Sat watching the Meryl Streep scene in Mamma Mia film 2 and then again on Sun morning thinking about it. Such a terrible film but that scene made me miss my mum so much.

moonfacebaby · 18/12/2018 07:03

Yesterday. It’s happening a lot at the moment as I’m anxious, and more than likely, depressed. I can’t face taking anti-depressants.

I’ve had way too much shit to deal with in the past 6 years and I think it’s finally caught up with me.

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 18/12/2018 11:48

I hardly ever cry, but I teared up a bit reading a story about the conversations between 999 operators and people trapped in Grenfell Tower.
I also came close last week at my DDs first ever Nativity. I was struck so hard by how much more disabled she is than even the other disabled children in her year. (She did brilliantly, though!)
