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?

Most days since Mum died in January.

Firstly, well done on adopting rescue cats 😊 Secondly, it can definitely be turned around. Patience is key in these situations, don't try and force her into anything. They're all different, some of my cats have taken months to become comfortable with me, some a few weeks/days and my current foster cat sat on my lap the first day he arrived. I've spent hours sat on the floor when they've been hiding under the bed etc, just talking to them (or even singing 😆 poor cats) just so they can get used to my voice and waiting for them to come to me in their own good time, I try not to bother them if they don't want to be stroked/cuddled, as tempting as it is. She is obviously very scared at the moment, so having a smaller area for her to live in might be beneficial, having a whole house might be overwhelming. As for not being bonded, that's something you'll have to keep a close eye on as having to live with another cat that that she doesn't like will be very stressful for her.

I can't actually remember, which has been a bit of a revelation because I used to be so unhappy and cry a lot and I've just realised that maybe I'm not any more. I'm pretty sure it was through frustration as well, rather than being upset.

I'm so sorry for everyone going through terrible times at the moment 💐 may you find some peace.

I think you were right to cry too.

I find it tremendously hard, it uses a part of my brain I don't use for anything else in my life and although it gives me a huge sense of satisfaction when it goes well, I found the exam terrifying. My husband wonders why I put myself through it, although was sweet when I phoned him sobbing.

Tears of frustration and disappointment, as it transpired unfounded.

Hugs to all the criers out there.

Today my oldest son has just been di discharged from hospital after four weeks with acute pancreatitis it was necrotic,,he's only 16 we have both been under a huge amount of stress and he's now type one diabetic and I made him test his blood sugers,they were fine but he started crying because I was stressing him out which made me cry did us both good tbh,I'm just relieved he's survived an awful event

This morning. I have fucked my knee up and I had to walk across Minor injuries unit to get it seen to. Have a brace and crutches now so much more managable. Last time I cried not due to pain was watching a concert and song came on that I love but which is very moving. Cried my eyes out.

Every day.
My lovely brother died in December. It's still very early days and he was only in his 40's. We were super close. I'm finding life overwhelming right now. I've quit a job I loved as I just can't go in anymore. Not even sure why, I just can't. Think it's the lack of compassion from my colleagues.
Yesterday my car broke down and I cried.
Today my daughter spoke rude to me and I cried.
Probably same again tomorrow.

@Bonjovispjs thank you. She has come in for some dreamies. I have made a point of not bothering her.

It's a tricky one because the other cat doesn't want to be confined to a smaller space and the family room is the gateway to the rest of the house.

About 4 hours ago, I'm highly emotional and cry when I read (so most days)
So yeah, it was a characters death in the book I'm reading, currently hating the author for killing them off!

Yeah, that's tricky if they want to be in different places. I guess as long as the door is left open to the room she feels more comfortable, then it'll be ok, all cats need a safe space to hide if they feel afraid. It's a good sign that she comes back after going out, shows she does think of it as home 😊

Oh @Bonjovispjs in a pen from 4.5 weeks until 7 months. They were rescued individually from car engines. It doesn't bear thinking about!

Hugs to you lovely.. am so sorry 💕

Poor things 😢 Horrible how some people still treat animals. I used to work at the animal shelter that I foster cats from and I was regularly in tears over animals who had been abused.

Cried with laughter out with friends recently

I cried a week ago - my son was diagnosed with a rare chromosome disorder and I didn't know what it meant (still don't).

I happy cried a few days ago as he said mama for the first time at 2

It’s been a bad 24hours. Cried lastnight about a patient with a horrendous home life. Cried this morning after a dream in which my DS2 fell into an river and drowned and I died searching for him. Lastly, this evening watching a documentary about Libby Squire’s rape and murder, may she R.I.P.

Earlier this evening when I told my BFF/FWB that I'm going to start dating other men again. We've had a relationship where we seem to have taken it in turns to fall in love with each other but not both at the same time. I love him dearly but he's not quite right for me and probably vice versa. I don't want to lose what we have but I do want to be someone's special person and highest priority if I can find the right someone. But I've cried a lot today and this week over the realisation that our relationship will never be what I want it to be and I must move on.

Tuesday this week, at daughters Masters graduation with many others and after one girls name was called it was announced she had sadly died in September and her mother was collecting her degree 💔 so moving watching her on the stage. The loudest applause deserved.

Last night. I'd had a few drinks and snapped with the stress of the last 24 hours. I'd been up all night with a screaming 3 yo who had fallen and teeth injured his lip really badly.
Then I had to get up and have my DD birthday party all while toddler still distraught and in pain.

I have a very young baby so crying much more than usual at the moment, total hormonal mess otherwise I am another who cried at The Piano, and also the advert with the old couple where the husband has dementia.

This morning. Almost five years since my darling Mum died and I still have conflicting Mother's Day emotions (obviously love it for my children). Mothers Day was the last time my DDs were with my Mum. Cry a lot every year.

Today. And every day since my daughter took her own life in November. I was on my own in the house and I listened to the music from her funeral (again) and sobbed.

Last night talking to my DP of 18 years after they confessed they are physically attracted to the colleague they have been having an emotional affair with more than me and that we should separate.

A few days ago. Life is pretty hard at the moment but I’ve always been quite emotional

Oh god I cry all the time. I cried today because I'm going away tomorrow for 2 weeks, DS and DD will be with their dad. DD wrote me a very sweet message in my card and it meant alot. DS wrote a message in his card and it was actually legible (ND) and he had clearly tried so hard to get it absolutely perfect.
