About 30 mins ago over a past relationship.

You?

A tear left my eye yesterday when I watched a trailer for Lucy shimmer and the Prince of peace on facebook.

I can't remember when I had a proper full on cry.

Apart from welling up over cute or happy things, I can’t actually remember. Which is quite nice.

This morning whilst watching the news. There was a piece about people with dementia and a lady who runs a pub that gets everyone together for a free meal and music/dancing etc. There was one gentleman who was there with his wife who suffers from dementia and he said when they dance it’s like having his wife back again 😢
DH gave me a very odd look as I sat on the sofa bawling my eyes out.

monday morning in the shower, as I had another negative pregnancy test. Feel on the verge again now for the same reason

Yesterday, grief which first came out as anger and then tears (in public too which was awkward!) It obviously needed to come out though, felt a little calmer after but just mentally drained.

November 2020, the day my dad died. His death and the realisation that I had to go through the agony of arranging another "lockdown funeral" for him, just a few months after having to do the same for my mum. They both deserved so much better that we could give them. I very rarely cry but that night had me wailing like a Banshee.

Easter Monday. I read ' A little Life' 😢😢😢

Monday morning. I was doing a push up based workout and my arthritis made my wrists hurt so much I started crying. DH coached me through by reminding me done people are unable to workout, we finished the workout, my wrist supports went back on and life was good again.

Oh you poor thing. Wishing you all the best for a positive soon.

A few nights ago I watched the documentary about the NFL player Steve Gleason who has ALS. Early on his wife is watching him and it is obvious how much his coordination and gait has changed and she starts crying. It took me instantly back to my late partners (similar but not the same) diagnosis and I cried the whole way through. Like a previous poster I was glad my husband was on night shift as it was messy. I’m lucky, life is good and I rarely cry these days.

When Cerberus the dog died in Coronation Street. I’m dreadful when an animal dies on TV or in a film

Yesterday. My DM has just had a stroke and my DH went to hospital with chest pains due to massive work stresses. My debilitating migraines which had finally seemed under control have come back, I suppose rather unsurprisingly, and it was one thing too much.

dimpleton · 12/04/2023 08:40

A few days ago, just feeling down. I went months without crying and currently seem to be crying every few days.

FlipFlops4Me · 12/04/2023 08:43

Day before yesterday. Watching The Fellowship of the Ring. I cried not just for Gandalf, and then for Boromir's tragedy but for my own.

thecathasbeenfed · 12/04/2023 08:52

I don't cry very often at all. I'm not sure when the last time was, maybe early last year at a neighbours funeral. We weren't particularly close but seeing her daughter so upset was very emotional.

lucysmam · 12/04/2023 08:54

Last night, in the shower. I'm not very well & it's frustrating me not being able to do many of the things I'd usually be doing

BelleSauvage9 · 12/04/2023 08:57

Monday. Dd2 (14 months) had me up at the crack of dawn and I was exhausted and overwhelmed and feeling terrified about having dc3 in 8 weeks when I feel like I'm barely managing now. Still scared but doesn't feel as bad when I've had decent sleep!

Paperexcelandpens · 12/04/2023 08:58

I rarely cry. The last time was at my grandads funeral last year.

Chchchchchangesss · 12/04/2023 09:04

Yesterday because I'm having my dog pts next week and can't bear to look at him. He's old and it's time for him to go but still.

TheOrigRights · 12/04/2023 09:11

Yesterday at work (I WFH alone) and was very frustrated at a piece of work which has taken up a great deal of time. I was on top of it only for the author of the publication I'm working on to change their mind, requiring even more complex work. Fucker!
I soon calmed down. I would never react like this in a shared office, but being alone there's no one to bat such frustrations off with.

Icepinkeskimo · 13/07/2023 04:23

Five minutes ago, I wake up crying around this time most nights. My lovely mum passed away a few weeks ago, grief is like a tidal wave it sweeps over me without warning.

FriendsDrinkBook · 13/07/2023 04:36

About 20 minutes ago. My autistic child woke me up at 4am for the third night in a row. I have a migraine , I feel nauseous and my head is pounding. I desperately need a good block of sleep to recover.

whatatime · 13/07/2023 04:43

Last night as we are having Ddog1 PTS today, hence I'm awake now and will probably start crying again now...
