How often do you cry?

Just wondering how often women on here cry. Admittedly, going through trauma can cause constant sadness, but I’m intrigued to see what people write.

Dudsville - that completely understandable. Cassini was awesome.

Do you mean crying for...life reasons? Or at sad movies, music etc?

Life reasons, never. Movies etc, quite often.

I am very emotional and cry a lot. I hate it. I cry when I shout. I cry when other people shout, even if I am not involved in the argument. I cry when I'm happy. I cry when I'm proud. I hate it, but there's damn all I can do about it. I've always been that way and my GP told me that I am a highly sensitive person. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Thank goodness neither of my DDs have this.

A lot more when I was with exH. He really messed with me.

In the last year or so I had a couple of good cries after my dad died, and when my sister said an insensitive thing (but only later in private).

I am currently pregnant and seem to be crying all the time. Yesterday I ve cried because I ve burned a jacked potato. It was the last one and I really wanted one. I sat on the kitchen floor and sobbed my heart out. Ridiculous I know

Wow, was surprised at all the answers and how many. Thank you all. Yes, I’m an emotional wreck and was like it as a kid. I’ve learnt recently after, Relate counselling, that I’m living with a narcissist which has pulled me down over the years and my mother has a lot of those traits, hence me always being considered a sensitive kid. Now at 44yrs romping towards the Menopause doesn’t help either. So, was wondering if many of us get through a week without tears. Thanks again

You know, when someone is ill, when possible, doctors try to get rid of the cause of the illness rather than make the patient live with it.
There's no point in staying with people who ruin your life.
Get out and be happier.
I know I am.
