Do You Cry Easily?

[RabbitsRock]

I’ve always been very soft hearted & have definitely cried more since becoming a Mum but my menopause years are proving to be the most emotional of all! There are happy tears as well as sad at least. Guess it’s healthy to let all your feelings out. I had a good cry just now, listening to the love letter being read out on Sunday Love Songs, then again when Michael Ball played “ Unchained Melody” which is DM’s favourite song. Just so sad about how her illness is progressing - she’s still here but in some ways I’m already mourning her 😢

Can't remember the last time I cried. I always encourage my dds to let it out but I hate crying, particularly in front of anyone. At the end if the day crying isn't a weakness it's just another way of showing emotion

I cry a lot, to the point that both our kids just completely ignore it, I cried not long ago when our son had a friend over, they were watching what were they watching, I can’t remember, but the friend clocked me crying and our son goes “oh ignore him, his face just does that” 🤣

Yeah, usually on my own. Can be something like an old song that sets me off even if it doesn't have a bad memory attached. Sometimes it's quite the opposite, thinking about old Christmasses as a child and how happy I was. Now I'm just a miserable adult orphan who's been through too much, and I miss that little girl I was who was all excited about Santa Claus coming to visit.

I always cry during Remembrance Sunday, especially at The Last Post, and the words

When you go home
Tell them of us, and say
For your tomorrow
we gave our Today.

I’m far more likely to cry when I’m tired and stressed.

I cry when I see people cry. I cry at anything, even positive comments on Strictly.

Yes all the time. I'm like the most emotional person ever. Although I do also cry at silly things when I'm hormonal. The other day I cried because a motorhome was towing a small car behind it. I cried at work a few months back because one of the cows in the field opposite us looked straight at me with the saddest eyes. Thankfully I could blame hay fever that day and that magnet kitchen advert where it goes magnet may have made me, but you made me part of your family. I practically bawl every time that's on. However I will only cry in front of people I feel comfortable with.

Yes this is me, I really need to cry quite often, but seem unable to. I also lost a very dear brother two years ago, I'm still in shock I think.

Crying is a healthy thing to do - most of the time. I wish I could do it.

I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time. Reading your post set me off. I cry much more in my 40s. I used to think I had a heart of stone.
Sending love & strength to you. X

I spent a lot of early menopause crying. I now cry much less (except at the psychologist - lovely as she is, I end up in tears every week)

I can make myself cry easily but I don't often cry for real.

I used to be made of stone but since having babies, I'm much more emotional. Now I'm in Peri - it's ridiculous how blubbery I am. I'm wetfaced at the Girls Aloud show when they had Sarah up on the screens 😢

I'm a funny one - I'm a crier if someone I care for cries, or I think about something that makes me proud etc. Not full on bawling, but a couple of tears.

However, I work in a job where I hear a lot of sadness, and deal with lots of tearful people, but it never ever makes me feel like crying. I feel sad for them, it's bloody awful, but I've managed to detach myself so I don't get upset

Very rarely. I'm made of stone.

No, I very rarely cry. As a child I was taught not to show any emotion, so I don't. It's really unhealthy though and I am envious of people who can trust themselves to their emotions.

Feel your emotions for what they are, and let them guide you.

I'm sorry to read about your mum being ill, illness that doesn't get better will be one of the hardest things to navigate, but being in touch with how you feel will help guide you through. Wishing you all the best.

Since I hit perimenopause, the week before my period is like a huge continuous waterfall. 😭

This week I cried during a scary aura migraine.
I have had them since I was a teenager but the visual stage still terrifies me.

No. The last time I cried was about two years ago. I’m generally quite stoic and the only time I get emotional at films is when it involves animals.

I cry or well up a lot, always have. I got a bit choked when they were dancing to Pet Shop Boy medley on strictly yesterday!

I never cry when I’m upset, I just wallow a bit, but I do cry when I’m angry. Which is annoying as I feel like there’s a lot to be angry about at the moment

Oh God I'm a massive crier, I cry when I'm happy, when im sad, when im angry, I cant watch the news because it gets me so upse i cry. I cry at films and sad books and things that have happened to other people

I have ADHD though so I wonder if that's partially to do with it as I am quite sensitive 😅

Absolutely not

I'm British!!

Only when I'm at home or with family. I could have a blazing row with someone from anywhere else and I'm totally calm and ice cold. At home, I'm crying over all sorts! DH looked sore earlier (old injury) and I was sniffling making him a cup of tea. There are songs that I listen to and just erupt. Seeing pure joy on the kids faces and I've got tears in my eyes.

Sometimes if I've had a hard day, I put music on that will make me cry to get it out. When I'm alone or just with DH, obviously. Doesn't half make me feel better.

I find watching DH play violin really emotional, so it can be difficult if I'm at one of his events.

I didn't used to be a crier! Started after I had kids I think, and now it's not stopping!

This one kills me.
