crying

[feelabout90]

How often do you cry? I find it very hard and sometimes when i’m very upset I really would like too.

Very rarely. Until my husband upped and left at christmas without giving good reason. I havent stopped since, and i really mean that hence my nn! The only time i stop is if i do sleep. Im not a particulatly sensitive type so i feel pathetic.

I hardly ever cry these days... Find it really hard. I used to all the time. When I do cry it's usually over something really trivial.

Very rarely. Last time was a screening of Les Miserables.... much to the embarrassment of DS.

I wish I could cry more, it's such a relief when I do. But I usually feel like it at work or at really inopportune times. Which is frustrating. A weepy film helps. Or hayley dying on corrie was useful this week.

Have you tried a sad film op? I had to be carried out of the cinema after brokeback mountain. I was in bits...

Love that film, beautifully made, only managed to watch it once as it is so sad.

I have cried enough for 10 years over the past 4 months. I think it will take a heck of a lot for me to cry again.

Pre-having a baby, I found it really hard to cry, it was a very rare thing, and I found it almost frustrating I was not able to cry more easily.

Now, I seem to be able to cry without a reason.

Have you tried sleep deprivation OP, trust me, it works a treat.

On a more serious note though, it might just be one of those things your body does not find easy. You might need to find a space where you can really focus on your feelings of upset and get yourself to that point where the tears come.

I seem to cry rather a lot although not usually in situations you would expect a crybaby to cry. I usually cry when I'm angry, tired or really frustrated. Occasionally when very happy but not often when I'm sad... Unless it's that time of the month & some moving tv advert comes on.

Ok bloody hell I basically cry all the time about anything & everything.

I dont find it easy to cry and I really think a good cry would make me feel better sometimes.

Do try a dramatic sob sometimes.

I cry often for many reasons. DS 11 is very disabled but nowadays that doesn't bother me, his dad and me separated 2 years ago (after 11 lovely years) so that still upsets me and I cry if I think about it too much but the main things that make me cry are the little things, like hearing a song on the radio from my teenage years (late 80's) and remembering the fun and freedom I had then - that makes me cry buckets, and I feel so stupid, also a nice text/email makes me well up, birthdays, Christmas, any slightly stressful situation they all do it - there's no hope for me!!

I have a good cry every couple of weeks or so, usually over a sad TV programme or something. Cathartic.

I'm not actually miserable though, it's just a human response to the beauty/cruelty of life etc etc.

If you want to cry because you are genuinely miserable about specific things, that's different.

even when i’m really fed up I cant cry. Its most frustrating

I find it very hard to cry these days.
It's very odd: I can't decide whether it's simply a random physical phenomenon or whether it means I'm resigned to or apathetic about things I ought to find more upsetting.
