I'm going through some shit and need to cry but can't so am resorting to watching whatever it takes to kick it off.

I'm watching 'Its a sin' at the moment, episode 3...

I don't want to be asked what's wrong just ideas of what to watch. Thank you.

If you were asking 10 year old me I would have said Never-ending Story where the horse sinks into the sadness.

Beaches, Firefly Lane, It’s a Sin, also ‘ This Woman’s Work’ song by Kate Bush features in Firefly Lane and that sets me off every time. I hope you find something that helps you 😭

I’ve just finished season 2 of firefly lane and ugly cried throughout.

Or if you're up for reading, read the book. Think I started crying on page 4 and barely stopped for the duration. My cat was most worried!

Butter adverts.

I may be a touch too sensitive & quick to cry.
I hope what's making you feel you need to cry can be sorted out, or you can come to terms with it 🌸

Black Beauty. Even the music sets me off, it's like a Pavlovian response 😂
Obviously the 1994 one with Sean Bean, none of the remakes.
