When did you last cry?

I just cried in the bath because I miss working with my friend. We work in the same school but different bubbles so haven’t seen each other in months.
Before that it was because we visited DH’s granddad for the first time since we lost nanny and I was overwhelmed with sadness for him.

Just now, at this thread

And nearly every day since March.

Today. Really stupid reason compared to PP's tragic stories but am just feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

On Friday night when I heard that a much loved and fabulous colleague had died after a long battle with cancer, leaving behind a loving husband and young daughter. It was messy and snotty and she would have absolutely taken the piss out of me if she'd seen me.

Daily at the moment . Broken heart 💔

Pebbledashery · 02/11/2020 22:03

@tiredvommachine you are someone to everyone in your life xx

honkytonkheroe · 02/11/2020 22:03

On Friday. It would have been my dad’s birthday who died last year.

ShortSilence · 02/11/2020 22:04

Today. I cry easily these days. It wasn’t at anything tragic, but it was sentimental and heartfelt.

poshtonic · 02/11/2020 22:05

Every day for the last two weeks. Broken heart. Feels like I will never heal.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 02/11/2020 22:05

3x today. I was hard as nails pre March.

SomethingOnce · 02/11/2020 22:06

Last? Just now, seeing what’s been going on in Vienna.

30 June 1997.

Mmmmdanone · 02/11/2020 22:08

I usually cry very easily, but honestly can't remember the last time i did. I think I just feel fed up must of the time right now but not in a crying sort of way.

AriesTheRam · 02/11/2020 22:08

Today as I'm test ready and the lockdown has fucked up my driving plans

OhTheRoses · 02/11/2020 22:09

1998 the day dd was born 51 weeks after ds2 was born and died. I cried so much during those 51 weeks and then with joy as I held a perfect baby in my arms. I have no more tears left.

dudsville · 02/11/2020 22:12

I cry often. I'm easily moved. I'm glad of it.

Hello,

We can see a lot of MNetters on this thread are struggling tonight. We just wanted to share our Mental Health resources for anyone who might need a bit of extra support. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected].

Lots of love from MNHQ to anyone who is finding things tough right now. Flowers

Yesterday. It just got to me. I realised that, apart from when I'm gloved up examining a patient, I haven't touched anyone since Christmas.

ragged · 02/11/2020 22:18

About 7 weeks ago, very disappointed in terrible behaviour from adult DC, and feeling down that I didn't raise them better.

I often tear up in response to sad stories, too.

maureenfrombarnsley · 02/11/2020 22:19

Last night, reading the FB blog of a very young man battling cancer for several years who sadly died. Poor, brave man and his family.

Betty94 · 02/11/2020 22:20

ThanksThanksThanks to everyone on this thread that's having a tough time, 2020 is horrible :-

Mine a little bit more light hearted and hopefully it makes someone smile but I'm pregnant and I cried because my dog started snoring and it was so cute.

Last time I cried with sadness was in June when my grandma passed away Thanks

Ffsffsffsffsffs · 02/11/2020 22:20

Yesterday. I couldn't have got through the last lockdown without the support of a very old and dear friend. He died recently, completely unexpectedly, mid 40s. I have no idea how the next few weeks are going to work

Chicchicchicchiclana · 02/11/2020 22:21

March 17th or 18th, around then anyway.

bloodywhitecat · 02/11/2020 22:22

@Icanflyhigh

Today. Mum has just been diagnosed with lung cancer. The waiting for results is unbearable.
That is incredibly hard, I am so sorry. Yes the wait for results is awful but you do sort of get used to it, when DP was diagnosed I jumped at every phone call while we were waiting for results but a few weeks on and we have learned to put it to the back burner for a bit (we are waiting to find out if whatever they found in DP's liver is a spread of his pancreatic cancer, I am resigned to the fact that it is).

@JamieLeeCurtains Thank you, yes it hasn't been the easiest of times.

SallyTimms · 02/11/2020 22:22

Today when dd school rang up asking me to collect her and to have an urgent meeting as she had taken pain killers and tried to cut her wrists last night with cuts lengthways on both wrists and to go to a and e for crisis team referral.

It's been a long day and I can see a long road ahead of us. I'm so tired, she has been unhappy for so.long but can't say why, just that she feels sad all the time. I feel drained, just drained.

ShesMadeATwatOfMePam · 02/11/2020 22:23

Today. A lot. Work is causing me another backslide with respect to my mental health and i am just exhausted with fighting them.
