When did you last cry?

[RosieLemonade]

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.

So sorry for everyone on this thread who has struggled/are struggling/ lost loved ones etc 💐💐🎉
I am crying now, watching The Pride of Britain Awards. The 92 year old lady who received an award for her community work said she hadn’t cried in about 30 years. I cry just about every day!

Oops wrong emoji there!

Today. My life has crumbled around my ears and seriously thinking about not being here any more.

((((HUG))))

There's always someone around to chat to if you want to start a thread x

Last week it was Mam's 70th birthday she died of covid in April she is forever 69.

I don't think another lockdown isn't helping anyone emotions are high.

For anyone in need. x

Right now watching Lord of the rings - The two towers - the faces of the little boys about to go into battle with the orcs .

Proper sobbing-yesterday on my way to the yard. My horse couldn’t get up from the field then managed to when he heard my voice, but I know I’m on borrowed time with him, plus my mil died in the early morning. It was all too much for me.

I had a very teary time tonight thinking about my mil, I’m really pissed off that she wasn’t the woman I adored in the past few years, dementia is an awful thing but has made it easier to accept her death.

Yesterday when i was told my mum.had broken her hip and needs surgery

@RedRec

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.

You don't happen to live in South Shields do you?

Last week when I got to my toddler's Baby Sensory class and realised we couldn't go in and do the class because I'd left the bag with the toys we have to bring, blanket to sit on etc at home.

There is other stuff going on in our lives, but that got to me.

@TheoriginalLEM Oh no that's terrible.

Bless you, Crunchymum

I’m tired of being resilient because I’ve been doing it since 2013. But I’ll keep on. I need to find a Hopeful Thing to cling on to. Think a lot of us do, don’t we?

Every day for the last few days; it’s all got a bit much tbh. It’s not like me. I’m also unwell; maybe they are Covid tears as a previous poster suggested!

Tonight, my mum is receiving palliative care for cancer and dementia and I just felt so tired and overwhelmed juggling my family, career and care. Dementia is a bit of a rollercoaster and there's only me. I thought of my Grandma and how heartbroken she would be to see her daughter (my mum) like this and it just upset me

Biggest hugs to everyone for all the pain, sadness & worry x

Last time I cried was (like a pp) for the poster whose 42yo husband just died, she clearly lived every fibre of his being. Heartbreaking

For myself, last week, it was my Dad's birthday, but he died - (far too young), a decade ago & not a day goes past that I don't miss him.

Tunnocks. Big hug my lovely. Your DH was a great bloke, life is bloody unfair!!! Sorry to hear one of the DC is really struggling right now. I wish I could bring your DH back for you xx

Not full on sobbing but tearful when idiot boy killed Lagartha in a hallucinagenic fuge

Should have read the thread / room. Sorry. Huge hugs to everyone doing it hard right now xx

Today. I rarely cry but couldn't help myself

I cry often for the lose of my beloved only sibling and greatest friend. My life is forever changed but I know how lucky I am to have had them in my life and think of it as love for them pouring from my eyes.

I cried happy tears watching a police man talk down a suicidal man who wanted the officer to shoot him. He was an ex vet. The police officer was also struggling with mental health and he said God put him here to save him, he put the gun down and was unharmed. The police officer was overwhelmed and was sobbing... so was I

Sending love to all those going through a tough time, I'm grateful we have Mumsnet as it's a safe place and you realise you're not struggling alone.

I've shed a few tears tonight as I'm slowly realising my friends at work are not really friends at all despite how long I've worked with them. They know I was diagnosed with depression last year and my biggest worry was being signed off and isolated. We've been working at home since March and all that time they've been having weekly social video meetings to catch up & talk but I haven't been invited to any of them. I've been too embarrassed to ask why, I thought it may be because my manager is in the group & he's probably sick of talking to me during the day. The worst thing is I'm sure they know I know they have these calls. I wish I had the courage to just ask why and as it's gone on so long I'd feel like an outsider.

I feel like an idiot as I'm lucky to have a job & be able to work from home but after this I know I won't be close to these people anymore when we return to the office.

Just reading a piece of fan fiction that I didn't realise echoed an event in my own life until too late, and wishing I could share with my mom but it's coming up to the 2nd anniversary of her death and thanks to lock down am going to be alone.

A few weeks ago. I'm not much of a cryer but never ending struggles with the SEN system, covid and selfish family I had a breakdown at drop off and was comforted by the other mums.

Little chinks of compassion that my own family would never show me. I felt really bad at the time but when your done, your done

2 days ago when I woke up to the lockdown news. It's my due date today. My family live in Ireland. I have seen my parents once since February, and now I have no idea when they will even meet their granddaughter when I give birth this week. I had PND on my first kid, nearly went properly insane, and I dont know how I am going to do it all alone when DH goes back to work. My nearly 2 year old daughter now points to the tv when she wants to talk to them as she just knows them as the people on the tv. It's been one hit after another this whole pregnancy.

A week or so ago, out for a walk on my own, because I could let go. My husband is having another mental health crisis and we're completely without support. Today I'm doing ok but very scared he can't hang on and we won't grow old together.

Lunchtime today when DS1 text me to say he was just getting on the plane to go away with the army. It’s only a short trip, and depending on self isolating rules when he returns, he should be home for Christmas so it was a bit pathetic really. However, we went to see DS2 & DDIL for the weekend, they’re both working (nurses) over Christmas so with this bloody lockdown I don’t know when we’ll see them. DS2 is asthmatic, too, so it worries me too death when he’s right up in the thick of it so it all just got a bit much.

Sorry, that’s long. I’m so sorry for all of you who are having really tough times atm. ❤️
