Today at the circus I was very emotional watching my niece enjoy the show and clap along. Then as the performers were singing Christmas songs at the end I released that they probably wouldn’t be seeing their family this year as the shows go on till Christmas Day. I just started weeping. Luckily it was fairly dark.
What was the last thing that made you cry?

The Crown episode about the Aberfan disaster. I was sobbing, basically from the beginning.

Oh, actually I cried in Frozen 2 too. I'm not even pregnant 🙄

Twice in the last week, Thursday at my go appointment because I was finally facing up to my fear that I might have ms and left night watching two episodes of panorama, abuse in hospital about the winterbourne scandal save the first crisis in care episode ( watching as part of my work training.) I wanted to shout at the TV and win the lottery to pay for better care for the people featured but all I could do was cry

This morning just because I am so tired and had to get to work. I am having a bastard bout of insomnia at the moment.

@WhoisitnowRalph
It's such a hard decision to make.
Good luck, hope you find your DM a good home she will be happy in.

Just cried at Kirky on Corrie playing his guitar and singing to the quads to get them to sleep!

Last night at Doddie Weir on SPOTY BBC1. Such a young age and it’s obviously starting to take its toll. He seems such a lovely man and you could feel the warmth in the room for him. MND is such a cruel disease.
Couldn’t stop crying, real full-on and my top was soaked with tears.

Pregnant.. My DF is in a bit of a mood due to pain and he got short with my DS who was talking to him (DS is 2). It really got to me for some reason, as DS was being quite sweet.

Modern Love on Netflix. DH and I were in bits.

The GE result

DtPeabodysLoosePants · 16/12/2019 20:01

My dd coming home to tell me her dad's gf had belittled her (good) exam results while praising her own younger dd and made her feel incredibly small and thick. DD IS amazing and bright and doing fantastic at school. Gf can go fuck herself. How dare she hurt my dd like that. DD hates her now.

Today. Driving home from work. Because at nearly 50 I’ve never had a relationship with someone I love. Been lucky in lots of ways but that’s the one thing I’d love to experience before I die. Very much doubt it will happen now though.

This morning listening to Zoe Ball on Radio two phoning a fireman who’d been chosen for an award for setting up a 24/7 counselling charity phone line for people with eg PTSD working in the emergency services.

Yesterday, on and off most of the day. Couldn’t put my finger on why.

Today I got my period and it all clicked into place!

TSSDNCOP · 16/12/2019 20:06

doddie weir’s boys watching their dad on SPOTY last night

hazeyjane · 16/12/2019 20:06

I have to stop myself from crying all the time at the moment. It's all a bit hard at the moment.

passthetea · 16/12/2019 20:08

Last night watching an episode of the royal family, it was the one where nana dies. Seen it half a dozen times and I still sob every time 😢

rosybell · 16/12/2019 20:08

I often think there is something wrong with me as I hardly ever cry, but I did cry on Friday morning when I heard the election result.

Oh workshyfop

Today. Driving home from work. Because at nearly 50 I’ve never had a relationship with someone I love. Been lucky in lots of ways but that’s the one thing I’d love to experience before I die. Very much doubt it will happen now though.

This really resonated with me. I realised something a bit the same recently. I was with exH for 17 years but I now don't think I ever really loved him. I had another long-term relationship but it was infatuation not love.

I did love someone but was very young & naive & nothing ever happened tho I think it was reciprocated. I found myself thinking of him all these years later & realising that might have been my only experience of 'love' & it wasn't real ... like you, can't see it happening for me but who knows?

I hope it happens for you, too 💕

The exit poll and plenty of times since then

TravellingSpoon · 16/12/2019 20:12

Did safeguarding training last week and during it we watched a clip from the Panorama show that Fiona Phillips did on adults with dementia being abused by their carers. There was some hidden camera footage shown which was so awful. I have seen it before but it still gets me every time.

Sandsnake · 16/12/2019 20:12

I’m not usually much of a crier but had a few tears yesterday at the Joe Hammond article. Truly heartbreaking. And then some totally unexpected ones today when having a dance with DS to Golden Brown. He was being really sweet and just loving it and said ‘Mummy, I think this should be our wedding song’ (?!). And I suddenly realised that due to a change in his nursery schedule after Christmas that today was the last of our ‘just the two of us’ days that we’ve been having since I went back to work when he was one (I work four days a week) as I’m having another baby in a few weeks. For some reason it hit me like a ton of bricks (think I’ll blame the pregnancy hormones!).

Flowers to all on this thread who’ve had some really sad reasons.

LockThatFridge · 16/12/2019 20:13

The exit poll and election result. I’m glad I’m not the only one.

PhilomenaChristmasPie · 16/12/2019 20:13

Terrence on BBC breakfast.

At the end of a very long day trying to get my 8 month olds nappy on and he kept crawling away 😂
