When was the last time you had a good cry?

[faithfulbird20]

Just by yourself...just to release all that emotional build up...

A few days ago. Do it as often as you need. Very important to release those feelings. So much pressure to be cheerful and positive and grateful, especially at this time of year, but that's just not realistic all the time. Have a hug x

I have been through so much rubbish I cannot longer cry, I think I have cried 3-4 times over the last 15 years. I wish I could 😕

Yesterday. It's pretty much every other day at the moment.

This morning after I spoke to my darling mum on the phone. Can't see her and we've had a lot of loss this year, as everyone has but I just really miss her

This morning walking the dog alone in a wood. Won't bore you with why ...

Drunk walking home from my friends husband's wake. He took his own life leaving 3 small kids the exact same age as mine and my friend utterly traumatised. I think it was actually the trigger that pushed me over the edge. But I cried and cried.

Just now, feel so ill with Covid, my DF died a couple of months ago and obviously can't see my Mum now today and final straw was neighbours completely flouting tier 4 rules and hearing them all laughing, just shit.

Can't remember. When 9 week old DD was in ICU about 20 years ago. I'm not a crybaby.

A couple of nights ago.

I got so fed up of people messaging me asking where this baby is & it felt like they were insinuating that I was doing something wrong by not “presenting” them with a baby on time to their schedule.

I felt a lot better for having a good snotty cry on DH

Last Saturday at the Prime Minister's announcement.

I cry all the bloody time.

Most recent sobfest was driving car to walk dog and the music I had at my Dad’s funeral came on the radio.

About 12pm today when my husbands friend who he golfed and lunched with 2 days ago sent a text to him saying he tested positive for Covid and therefore my DH is self isolating in our room and we had to cancel my mother and brother for Christmas lunch

So myself and my 2 DDs are trying to get dinner together whilst feeling just miserable

Everyday for the last month. That sounds more dramatic than it is. My mum died 12 years ago and last month I became a mum myself. I'm so blissfully happy with my long awaited baby but have a littledaily cry because I can't share it with my mum. She really is such a cute baby

I'm not hard, honestly. I feel sad or miserable at times. I just don't burst into tears at every little thing.

Today

This morning, when I opened my presents from my mum, at home on my own.

I never in my life thought I'd have a Christmas where (so long as they were still with us) I wasn't allowed to touch my parents.

It's so sad.

I just want to hug my mum and cry in her arms like I did when I was a little girl.

About an hour ago.

I keep my emotions pretty well boxed up but it all just got the better of me.

This Morning
In the shower and then at the cemetery.

Two weeks ago when the undertakes came to take dad out of the care home, and all the care staff lined up outside in silence. Totally lost it

Cried two days ago when we scattered DDog's ashes. And nearly today when speaking to DM.

This morning. My older children live three thousand miles away. I miss them so much it hurts.

I have been on antidepressants for 18 months and although never a big crier have noticed I cry a lot less. I suppose that's the point but I do miss having a good sob, particularly as there's quite a lot to sob about at the moment

Can't remember. When 9 week old DD was in ICU about 20 years ago. I'm not a crybaby.

Crybaby? That's not nice.

Anyway, today. This year is really starting to get to me now. I'm exhausted, emotional and despite being quite together most of the time, I'm hanging by a thread now.

Everyday. I’ve got a newborn and toddler and I’m dreading January with no where to go and being able to see no one. I’m so lonely at home with 2 small children.

Right now, sitting in my garden with DH in our room and dd in the attic having a teenage strop, and both of us at the end of our tether with her. Christmas was going to be shit but ok, now it's just topped off an absolutely crappy year for so so many reasons.
