Why did you last cry and when?

[TheWhisker]

I cry a lot. I know it's not normal, but sometimes I get home from work and the stress and worry from the day makes me cry.

So, what was the last thing you cried at and when?

I don’t cry too often these days but I was listening to the JK Rowling podcast and when she was describing her abusive marriage it just hit me in all the wrong places about my own marriage.

This morning, i woke up early from a really bad dream where my son died. In my dream I was screaming but when i woke I was silently sobbing. It's the second similar dream recently.

I also cried yesterday at a tick tock video. I'm more emotional these days. I'm still not really over the dream though.

Thank you 😊 scared and nervous cats are my forte, so it's my job to bring them out of their shells and get them used to being around people. It is hard to say goodbye and I know a lot of people only do it once because it's so hard or they keep the dog/cat. I can't adopt because I don't have a garden, but at least I'm making myself useful this way and it is lovely to see them settled in their forever homes.

So sorry to hear that xx

Oh could you not adopt a house cat, one that's blind or deaf? I realise that may hamper your fostering though. I'm honestly in awe of people like you. Very selfless 🥰

Used to be quite emotional but since starting Citalopram for PMT and general depression three weeks ago, I’ve not even welled up! Will see if that remains when my period is due!

A few weeks ago when my friend of 15 + years ditched me as her bridesmaid, ditched my daughter as her flower girl and banned my whole family from her wedding because a) I hadn’t messaged her every 2/3 days to “check in on the wedding planning” b) hadn’t “Contributed enough excitement to the bridal party” and then finally, went on holiday for a week so couldn’t answer her phone calls.

I probably wouldn't be allowed to as I only have a small studio flat. I feel guilty enough about my foster cats being stuck in such a tiny space, but as they said at the animal shelter, it's still bigger than a cat cabin. I've often thought I will adopt if I ever move to a place with a garden, but I'm not so sure now as I'm helping more cats this way.

Just now.

A couple of days ago. A lady from church sent me a lovely message praising my kids and my parenting. I was very touched.
I cry a lot.

Yesterday. I’m pregnant and have gestational diabetes and my husband ate some really nice ice cream in front of me

Couple of weeks ago. I had some interviews coming up at work (luckily I was successful) but in the run up to them I was tired, stressed and not very well with a throat infection. It all felt a lot and I was sure I was going to be rejected.

Last week. Two of my year 12 students wrote about me for international women's day. They said I was kind and smiley and always made time for everyone. That I go above and beyond in everything I do and that I inspire them. There was a lot more but you get the gist. I literally cried, it was so lovely and I felt so proud. 💗

When my hamster died

I had a session with a client last week (I'm a counsellor), and she'd had some bad news. I had a mini cry after the session.

Yesterday. Feel life is pointless

Yesterday. Just a little bit…because I hit my elbow on the clothes horse, must have hit a nerve because boy did it hurt

About two hours ago because my mam is sick and I'm just so sad.

This week, name changed as it’s slightly outing. I held someone’s hand as they died. It was very difficult and very sad.

Today. I cry most days just now. Having an incredibly stressful time with ds & beating myself up about my failings as a Mum. Cry a lot when out walking the dog & it all gets a bit overwhelming. Normal? Probably not but as a single parent I have nobody to talk to about this stuff

I cried today because I'm listening to the Alan Rickman diaries.

Also my mother was quite nasty to me this morning.

I teared up yesterday at work, a child did something unexpected and it was a big thing for them. Properly cried about a month ago, loneliness and feeling really down and overwhelmed.

Lost my job very unexpectedly a few days ago, and I cried.
then I got FURIOUS, and anger is highly motivating to me- so I’ve got 5 job applications in to places I’d be thrilled to work, and have got an app in for two places to get a masters degree online.

I am grateful now that they booted my arse into high gear by not having the funding to continue my beloved (but low-paid) position.

This week. My DS has autism, adhd, tourettes, dyspraxia and low cognitive functioning.

This week he was additionally diagnosed with scoliosis - unexpectedly.... he was at a routine medical appointment. His specialist was checking his heart and chest when he stood up and let out a breatn and said; 'Aaah. ' Then 'Well I can't unsee it'.

It was Just Another Thing.

This morning listening to a podcast. Its a sad story, but it was the actions of one person which moved me to tears rather than the story itself.
I have also cried tears of frustration a lot this week.
