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.

I can’t remember.
My sadness seems to come out in anger for some reason, I’ve never been one to cry. I wish I could, sometimes I feel like it might be helpful to let it all out but I just rage and stew internally and mouth off a bit to my lovely friends who listen and humour me until I’ve got over it.
I think people assume I’m heartless and cold because I don’t cry but it’s not that, I feel things very deeply.
Sending kind thoughts to everyone going through the mill at the moment. Life is hard for many right now.

Last night at the Pride of Britain awards. Incredible amazing people.

I tested positive for covid last week and have found myself inexplicably crying at random things on and off ever since. I am not a cryer. I honestly believe it is another (much lesser known) symptom.

Three days ago when my son said he wished he was dead ,has bad mental health since April .

Mischance · 02/11/2020 22:33

Last week - for days on end. OH died in February. I am coping OK, but every now and again it hits me like a brick.

When I couldn't shave due to being pregnant and not being able to see past my belly

This morning when a businessman donated £1million to the Alzheimer's charity on bbc 1 .

Just now as I went to bed and checked on my son on the way to my room, he's just so lovely, well behaved and it's such a pleasure to be his mum. I don't know what I did to deserve him 🥺 (he's not even 2 so ask me again in a few years 🤣)

PhylisPrice · 02/11/2020 22:56

For everyone who has cried through sadness I really hope whatever troubled you will be over soon 💕

March when my beautiful Nan died. I miss her so much.

AgentCooper · 02/11/2020 23:01

Flowers for everyone.

I had a good cry yesterday which had been bubbling up for a while. FIL is 86 and not well, and has been treated horribly in hospital. I miss going out to work and seeing family. I worry about DS starting nursery when he’s not been at toddler group since March and the best I can do for him is an hour seeing friends’ toddlers in the park here and there if we get a dry day. He’s so highly strung and I really worry about him.

We were watching Coco yesterday and I just sobbed. Then me and DH watched Karate Kid 3 in the evening and he was a bit baffled about how upset I got about Mr Miyagi’s bonsai trees.

Today in frustration and stress dealing with rubbish IT whilst trying to work from home on my day off to catch up with workload

On Saturday over my fucked up life and emotional difficulties

Sorry for everyone’s losses and pain

megletthesecond · 02/11/2020 23:03

Sept 4th for a moment. Out of relief and fear for the winter. The day both dc's went back to school and I was alone for the day.

SirVixofVixHall · 02/11/2020 23:04

Half an hour ago watching a woman with her extremely ill husband on the news.

HerRoyalNotness · 02/11/2020 23:05

March. I allowed myself a 5 sec cry when I got laid off after 2 weeks of work, after 5 years of looking for a job. I can’t allow myself to cry, might never stop.

tunnocksreturns2019 · 02/11/2020 23:06

Flowers everyone. So sorry to read so much pain, and hope for better times for you all.

Today for me but that’s not unusual. The love of your life shouldn’t die at 37. One of our DC is really struggling and I’m so so tired of lone parenting.

I just want my DH to come home.

@crunchymum at the moment it is raw but after a while you will feel she is always with you, everyday. Whenever something happens in our family good or bad I sort of tell My Mum in my head. I know that sounds weird but if I have to make a difficult decision I always think what would Mum have advised.

I cried at end of October as that is anniversary of my Mum's death. I drove 170 miles to spend day with 3 of my sisters in Devon, stayed overnight then came home following day. Went out for nice lunch though.

Nannyamc · 02/11/2020 23:14

Sally
My heart bleeds for you
Been there done that for 15 yrs
It is better now but very hard parenting was involved

BogRollBOGOF · 02/11/2020 23:14

Today. Umpteen times. Just another shitty day of 2020. Been a couple of weeks since the last soggy-eyed day. I cried a lot in June, but a few weeks later life began restarting again and eased it for a few months.

Flowers for anyone who needs them, however big or small the reason. It's healthy to let it out.

WinWinnieTheWay · 02/11/2020 23:16

Today. I remember earlier this year thinking that it was so long since I last cried that perhaps I couldn't any more.
I feel desolate and it doesn't look likely to get better soon. My problems are caused by coronavirus but this pandemic is the absolute cherry on the cake.

PolkadotGiraffe · 02/11/2020 23:16

Earlier this year. I had Covid that became long Covid and a group of friends I had who I really trusted were absolutely awful to me and it hurt me a lot.

Before that, when my husband left us.

I remember your story @tunnocksreturns2019

What stood out to me about was your eloquence, your strength and your love for your DH.

I'm sorry its a hard time for you at the moment. Dig deep and keep strong Flowers

coronafiona · 02/11/2020 23:18

Today. The absolute shitshow of homeschool broke me. And now I'm embarrassed some of you have much better reasons than me Thanks

BunnyBoilerRhian · 02/11/2020 23:18

Brace yourself for a pity party from me.
Yesterday full.bliwn noisy crying. Todsy tears in my eyes that i managed to jold back. Why? Because my husband is Just so cold and unemotional. He's having an affair. He says its ended but I know it hasn't. I cried because I feel despair. I've lost my marriage, my job, my life and the future I thought I had. I need to end it but I've no steam or oomph nor the balls right now to do it.
I'm also getting the cold shoulder from someone I thought was a good friend. I'm trying to think she maybe struggling emotionally too but I suspect she's throwing me off and I've no idea why. It's really upsetting me. I feel rejected from everyone and everything right now.
