I'm absolutely fine but sometimes when things get a bit much I need to have a cry to let some sad feelings out. Has anyone got any ideas of (shortish) things I can watch to make me have a little weep ocassionally?

The video circulating of George floyd being arrested has done it for me this morning.

( I may have majorly missed the point of the thread-but seriously there is absolutely shit things going on every day in the world. Watching the news often makes me cry when I look at how people can treat others so badly)

I don't cry much but I sobbed my heart out when I watched Truly Madly Deeply.

BrieAndChilli · 27/05/2020 12:06

I can’t watch a single episode of this is us without crying my eyes out. It’s an amazing show and well worth watching

I just watched Coco recently and I don't know if its because I haven't seen my mum much during lockdown but OMG it completely broke me!

Last Monday's 'Grayson's Art Club' on the subject of Home. Mostly both intriguing and with funny parts, but one of the last contributors' Zoom exchanges...can't even think about it yet.

Virgin River on Netflix. It's a series but start from the beginning and put any episode on any time you need a quick fix. It's a real tearjerker!

Shopaholic100 · 27/05/2020 15:53

The pursuit of happiness
Boy in the striped pyjamas
Marley and me
All three had me in 😭

Oh yes - I watched a video of a man who ran marathons/long treks with his son (I think it was) who was unable to walk. So he decided to do all these amazing journeys with a wheelchair, sometimes carrying him. I was a bit of a soggy mess after watching that. That and the soldier who broke his back and was told he would me ever be able to walk and he was jogging at the end. 😭
