When was the last time you cried and why?

[JamSandle]

About 30 mins ago over a past relationship.

You?

A few months ago over issues in my relationship on top of postpartum hormones. I always find it so crazy that people can go years without crying!

On Sunday, we had a family BBQ, it was the first time we had all been together for a meal since my Mum died in November and the first time I had cried and grieved properly (before everyone arrived). My Mum used to always make a trifle in a beautiful glass bowl for get togethers as her contribution. My sister could not be there but made a trifle for my Dad to bring. That and the fact that the last time we had all been together in our garden was Mum's 80th birthday and I found some of the confetti from her balloons hidden in the grass. Sometimes it is just the small things

Earlier this week when I realised, again, that I'm thoroughly in love with someone I shouldn't be.

I have much more serious stuff to cry about in life right now but I can't let myself open that door, so I basically let my feelings out over a slightly less grim problem.

On and off all day. Husband has moved out, my choice based on his behaviour but still the most awful feeling. So sad it physically hurts.

Last week when I watched Jason Watkins' programme about the death of his daughter Maude.
I leave anything that might upset me to watch until my DP is on night shifts so I can ugly cry freely.

I’m going through a very hard time professionally and personally. I cry everyday, sometimes more than once. I’d change jobs but I’m very well paid.

Stabilizing family first, which is very hard to accomplish as my ex husband really doesn’t look after the children properly at all. Once I have them with me more, I’ll be able to move and get as far away from the US as I can.

This evening having seen the most despicable video on Twitter that has made me despair at the barbarism and savagery that some people think is ok.

About 10 minutes ago. A family member died today.

This whole year has been awful so far for us though. We started with our hamster dying just before new year, and since then my mental health has been the worst it's been in over a decade due to various things, one DC has been suicidal and has other mental health and anxiety issues, DH's depression then came back because of the stresses at home, then a friend of mine died last month too and I couldn't make her funeral because I had Covid. That's not even everything but I could write a book with the numerous things that have gone wrong for us in just the last few months and no-one would believe it would all have happened.

2 weeks ago during therapy. I was worried the antidepressants were flattening my mood but I've managed to cry weekly in therapy. I highly recommend it.

An hour ago, I cry multiple times a day every day.

On Monday. My brother is about to make quite an impactful health decision, with quite far reaching consequences for the rest of the family and we're all quite scared and seeking reassurance. I cried with frustration as my brother can be quite obnoxious and controversial so waiting to see how this plays out.

Now, reading this thread. Too many sad things xx. dribbly tears.

last night I was watching a a film, Post Impact. It was made early 2000's & terrible, terrible quality but they'd hijacked a plane & were separating the Jewish men from their families. 🥲. I can't believe this is still happening tears.

Saturday in the park a dog, who looked so much like my old dog, it was like her running towards me, I just felt elated momentarily thinking it was her then crushed when I almost simultaneously realised it wasn't.

my uncle died recently (unexpectedly & young, he was only a tiny bit older than me) and too many other things.

I usually cry over at least one thread a day. For them, for me, for life in general.

Sorry to hear this @Aintnosupermum 💐

Just now after trying to calm my autistic dd from her meltdown where she was screaming the house down. I'm so tired of it all.

Two days ago after watching the Pointless video by Lewis Capaldi

I hardly ever cry. I honestly think I've gone years without crying at times. But reading my 22 year old's card caused me a little happy tear on mother's day.

Yesterday. My 8 month old kitten got run over and killed 2 months ago and I'm struggling to move on

In 1998, at my friend Gill's funeral. She was only 39 and had breast cancer. It came back and went to her lungs and brain. From her first diagnosis to her dying was less than a year.

She was generally bloody excellent, she took in all manner of waifs and strays, always fed people and helped them. She always had a good word for just about anyone.

I didn't cry when my sister died and we were close.

last night. My aunt is receiving end of life care at a local cancer unit. She’s been moved to a side room

Watching Bluey on Monday.

Last night after seeing that Pooky the cat died

Monday, because I want to leave DP but he doesn’t want us to split up. He’s a lovely person and I don’t want to hurt him and I don’t even have a proper solid reason for wanting to go, it’s like a nagging thought that keeps coming back over and over. Sometimes I want to do a Forrest Gump and just start running.

I honestly can’t remember - probably a couple of years ago? I very rarely cry and almost never about things in my own life

Me too but I’ve worked on a Central London ICU ward for nearly 20 years and I wouldn’t be much good if I let it get to me. When I “clock off” shift I leave it all behind me because I have to do it all again the next day or night.

Yesterday, visiting a beautiful WW1 cemetery in northern France- a bag piper was playing, mist was rising from the ground and we saw a grave for a 17 year old soldier- just so moving.

Last night. My friend died.
