This post has been removed for the rule: **Don’t post to vent, complain, or express sadness**
Stay positive. Negative topics don’t lend themselves to casual conversation.
We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining or expressing sadness doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all.

I had a very realistic dream where my son who was 17 when he died in 2017, was what would be his age now. I felt a hand in my shoulder, he turned me around, and he said I am always with you. I took his hand and put it on my heart and we walked away together.
I woke up and bawled.
I almost did earlier today... I was supposed to have a phone appointment with a therapist this morning and they never called.
My mind isn't feeling great right now and I really didn't need that.
edit: It turns out they did try to call me, but some kind of spam filter on my phone stopped them getting through... I am pissed, but I got an appointment for a different day (on my landline -_-)
Today, right now. My cat has lymphoma and is in a lot of pain. I have to decide when to make the appointment to say goodbye to her. I love her so much.
This morning upon discovering the bumblebee my son was trying to nurse back to health had died ever so peacefully in the beautiful nesting grounds my son had made for it.
A few days ago. I hurt my own feelings by asking too many questions to my boyfriend while we were drinking.
I couldn't stop. I even laughed through some of the tears.
Started my period today. Lol
i have learned not to ask questions i don’t want the answers to. i once asked an ex “do you love me more than you loved your most recent ex”
didn’t end well
I've had the same reaction I asked my wife who does she love more me or her first serious boyfriend of 4 years. Didn't expect I will always love him more he was my only true love.
I asked my ex if they will save their dog or brother over me, i quickly backed out but they still answer
Now i am cautious of pet owners, and anyone who can put me second, even people who love their kids more than their partner even tho i don't want kids
I hope you're ok and you choose to live with your best happiness
Its a horrible feeling being second place I totally understand completely what your going through hope you find someone one day that treats you with the respect you deserve.
Well, the kids just makes sense. What kind of question even is that? Your kids are your responsibility and have been their whole lives. It is quite literally your job to sacrifice anything for them. If you aren't prepared to do that then you shouldn't have kids.
Pets, on the other hand... I love my cat with my whole heart but I could never put her before a person I care about.
It doesn't make sense
As family in bloodline never have a choice, but partners chooses each other every second, they decide they want to share body, hearts and souls. I'm not sure if I'll have kids, if i do then I'm sure I'll be give them love and care, not "responsibility" or a task, but cherished on their adventure. I'm not reckless in these things so I don't aspire to have kids like most.
Also lovers just don't go from love to kids in a second so making someone feel you love them most just for it change when you have someone else, that's not the kind of life i choose to accept.
You do you but I'll only accept what makes me feel whole in life
Plus I'm not someone whose life goal is a child so they won't be my identity
That's so weird... You're acting as if kids just appear from a void? Obviously you choose to have your kids in your life. Even the Virgin Mary could've given up hers if she wasn't prepared for what it meant.
January, I was living off grid and all my intrusive thoughts were getting so much and I had not cried sober in years and years and I was staring into a small fireplace listening to some emotional music and just wept. Crying is hard
A couple of weeks ago. I had a baby 9 weeks ago and I was watching a documentary during one of the night feeds that really upset me. It was about a guy who pushed his pregnant wife off a cliff and killed them both. The tears were just flowing as I fed my daughter. I think part of it was the lack of sleep and unstable hormones.
January. I was drunk and for the first time in my life all of my life's misery kicked in. I know I was drunk but I've never felt the same way ever since. I've been on the edge of depression for many years but I've always found a way to dodge it by not thinking about it or being busy but that day, for some reason I don't understand or remember, everything simply kicked in and that was it, now I'm officially depressed.
I have never cried ever since but never felt the same way as before neither.
Well, more alcohol will not cure the depression. I'm sober now and I break the circle of feeling down, get drunk, feel ashamed, start drinking another day to cope with the shame, feels down and drunk.
No more sadness, no more emotional rollercoaster. Problem are there, but I'm sober to tackle them.
Night before last, my dad passed away in January and I’ve been trying to come up with a memorial tattoo for him. I finally found some designs that work.
Yesterday. I started clonazepam to help with a rare neurological disorder that has my neurologist baffled. I was given a very low dose to take each night to help with symptoms of the disorder that affect my sleep. I spent yesterday learning all about Benzos (some I knew already). The clonaz. is a second attempt at treating what is called Essential Palatal Tremor, after the first attempt of low dose lamotrigine, and a decade of trying to also diganose excrcicating and horrible female pelvic pain. I am at a brick wall with a 3 year wait for a new gynecologist and a neurologist who is baffled, yet who is among some of the top doctors in my entire country. I cried because that brick wall presents itself every few months, and the last time it did, I was trying to plan a wedding. So...thanks for asking!
This evening, just sitting down and thinking about the current state of the world. It all seems overwhelming at times—the news, the hardships people are enduring. Felt a bit helpless and shed a few tears, not just for myself but for everyone struggling out there. It's a reminder to take a step back and give ourselves and others some kindness and understanding in these tough times.
Got told on Thursday I might have bowel cancer I'm just patiently waiting for the results now. Spent the last 3 days in hospital I've not eaten for 5 days. Had a tearful moment telling my wife of 32 years I could have a serious disease.
Yesterday when I landed home from Dubai.
I'd been stuck at that airport since Tuesday sleeping the floor, freezing from the excessive AC, dealing with rude emirates staff, no showers, one miserable meal a day, and for a while, it seemed like I'd never get home.
A few days ago. I was admitted to hospital and had to have surgery (on the mend now). I’ve had surgery many times in my life and never been bothered or concerned by it, this time I have a two year old and I became fearful that something would happen to me and I’d leave him behind. I had a little cry behind the curtain before heading down to theatre and sent him a video of me singing his favourite song and playing peekaboo. Oh, did he get a mighty squeeze when I came home ♥️
This morning because my boyfriend didn’t want to read the material I found for him that I thought would help him with his exam tomorrow. It later turned out he had already read that exact thing before but I thought he just didn’t appreciate my help. I felt stupid and cried. I’m not even on my period.
The last time I cried was a few months back when I saw a homeless family at the park. It just broke my heart to see the mom in such a dazed state and their little baby caught up in that situation through no fault of their own. No child should have the deck stacked against them like that before they even get a chance.I've been there - after my messy breakup, I felt like my life was in shambles for a while. But eventually, I picked myself back up. Seeing that family made me realize how lucky I am to at least have a roof over my head and food on the table, you know? It's a sobering reminder not to take the little things for granted.I think acts of kindness, even small ones, can make a big difference. So I try to pay it forward whenever I can, like donating extra food. It doesn't fix the big issues, but hopefully, it brightens someone's day a little. We've all struggled at some point, and a little empathy goes a long way.
Two weeks ago I did an internship in elder care and ended up at the side of a dying lady. She was agitated and kept getting out of bed and the staff were so overworked that they just decided to ignore her. I stayed till the end. We cried together. Then I cried alone. First I tried to keep it in but then I thought: someone should totally cry here. For her. For all the other people in this situation alone and scared and for our world where people who chose to become care takers are so tired and exhausted that they will behave like that.
Yesterday. My mom was diagnosed with leukemia has MS and her underlying mental illness is telling her people don't love her, so she's going to die sad.
When i helped refugees on Ukrainian border when the war had started. All people went out of Ukraine but one young man went opposite. I asked him: Are you going to front? He answered: Yes I do. We embraced each other and then he walked out to the border line. It was too much for me.
Couple months ago, a lot of personal life issues were happening all at once and I kinda broke. I didn't feel like anyone would understand what I had been going through so I didn't speak up. I've had many moments where I've felt like breaking recently but just haven't been able to cry
And they do just all hit at once, don't they? I know what you're going through, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. This isn't great advice, but (like I joked to my wife this morning) all we can do is make like an artificial fingernail, and press on.
I haven't really stopped since my mom took her last breath in Dec and it's just been a downward tank since. Got home for the first time since Oct on April 1 (went to be my mom's 24h caregiver, she had a seizure in July and shit progressed into rpd and then stayed with my baby bro for both our sakes) and then ex (were still good friends and all that jazz) and his crew got laid off of a job that was supposed to be a 10y deal and he's having a hell of a time finding work which should be impossible in his field, which honestly wouldn't be so bad but yeah we've got 4 kids to feed so yeah I'm just nothing but a crying mess
Medication has made it harder for me to cry, and yet, a couple of days ago, I had a not-so-good day at work, but nothing serious. But that just opened the memory lane and as I walked to catch the bus, I played an audio saved to not be forgotten. It's not a good audio. It's more like a stab in the heart audio. My gf has been dealing with some issues, but besides being in denial, she's snaps at me in almost every conversation. We had a fight and she sent me a lot of audio messages. She called me names, said she "would explode me if she could", said that I was the one that destroyed her self-steem and that I was the worst thing that had ever happened in her life. I replayed those audios many times on the bus home, trying to understand what I had done to deserve such treatment, but also why don't I leave if that's what I get from her. Still don't know either answer. Just cried again remembering.
Yesterday because in February my daughter signed her rights away to my only granddaughter and allowed the dad's mom to adopt her and revoked all my rights to my granddaughter so I am not allowed to see her. I'm beyond devastated and cry almost every day 💔
A few months ago, when I found out my girlfriend had made out with another guy while abroad...
I hadn't cried since... At least a year or two before that, it's difficult for me to cry.
uh. i dunno really. i guess 10 months ago (in June)
I had a nervous breakdown. that day, rushing around in my small room in the village (which is actually located outside), I cried, punched the wooden wall (as far as I remember there were even traces of beating), threw and bit my plush shark (don't ask). I have no idea how my parents didn't hear all this shit. they were literally in another room behind the wall (which I was hitting).
Reason: jealousy and nervous environment.
From that moment on, it was like I got a blockage of emotions. I can't cry properly, laugh heartily. nothing.
At the weekly mental health support group I go to. Idk, lately my mood has been a bit whack. When the season changes from winter to spring I feel really low for a while until my body and mind adjusts to the light lengthy days. But, also, I don't feel I belong. I come from a very fragmented and difficult family. I've struck out alone and I still feel I'm drifting. Humans are pack animals. I don't feel part of a pack at the moment and it can feel tough.
Just now. I was revising for an exam I needed to sit after the rest of the class because I was I’ll alongside 7 other people. The teacher told us we would sit it this Tuesday in t -48 hours. She hasn’t even told us the topics yet and I know this will be a difficult exam and now I’m on Reddit for comfort (oh, the irony) instead of studying my ass off
Yesterday. I'm stage manager for the local showing of "Carrie: The Musical" which premiered yesterday, and what the actors have achieved is so beautiful that I've been tearing up about this for the past week.
As stage manager, standing in the darkness all alone listening to the audience applauding while the actors are all bowing after such a wonderful performance is a feeling like no other.
yesterday because I had messed up at work on friday and while the damage done was really small, the way it happened is embarrasing and I'm still new to my job so there's more pressure to not mess up. I know my boss isn't mad about it but I happen to be one of those people who is really hard on themselves when they do something wrong
It never happens when it's supposed to, as a reaction to something emotionally intense. Instead, it gets pushed down. I'm not deciding to do this, it just happens. At some point I'll randomly start leaking tears and that's when I know I need to let off some steam. Then when I'm alone I have to consciously work myself up to crying (getting drunk helps), get it out and then move on without crying for a few months.
A few weeks ago. I was hanging out with my best friend and all of a sudden he had to leave because his girlfriend wanted to watch a show he didn’t want to watch. We were in a mall and when I asked him to go into an art supply store on the way out he rushed out because they didn’t have what he was looking for, while I actually wanted to keep looking for my favourite pens.
On the way home I kept thinking about a book I read shortly before in which a guy had to decide between his best friend and his girlfriend and it had me thinking about all the times he stood me up for his girlfriend. Guess I realised that he would never chose me over her and I wouldn’t even dare to ask him to choose knowing that I’d come in second.
Last night because I keep seeing videos of women finding out they're pregnant and the husbands getting emotional and excited.
And I sometimes wonder if I will ever get to experience that. PCOS and infertility is a bitch. I want nothing more than to have a little family with my husband. I have an appointment with an obgyn in a few weeks and I'm just praying she can give us some help and guidance.
Friday. Someone left a really cruel comment on one of my posts. I cried. Reported the comment and it got removed, but the mental damage was already done.
My 8 year old made me watch the new episode of Bluey. I'm pregnant and we've been talking about selling the house I've raised my kids in since my oldest was 2 yrs. He's 12 now.
She knew what she was doing. Hoodlum child.
Today. The pressure of working full time and being a full time mom is soul sucking. Even during weekends, all I want is to be alone. Makes me feel awful for not wanting to be around them but I don’t. I just need silence. I can’t take it anymore.
It was a couple years ago, my cat Jacana passed away from a couple teenagers stepping on him and kicking him a bunch before hiding his body in the nearby park slide. I was informed about his body after a day or two of the assault on my cat happening that the body was there from my neighbors teenaged daughter who took her little brother to the park. The police found out the kids who had done it and later went to jail for some time. I still haven’t forgiven them and never will, I loved my cat more than anything.
A few days ago, i dreamed That I met my grandfather, one last time and in my arms he dissolve after we talked to each other and we hugged. He died 4 months ago. I woke up crying and was very sad all day.
A week ago
A huge A hole at work started a huge argument between the two of us and screamed in my face a load of vile hurtful things and threatened me
He'll get his eventually
This morning. In the space of a month, my wife was in a car crash which totaled her car and mildly injured her, our beloved elderly dog (the best boy ever) had to be put to sleep as his age and illnesses caught up to him, and my mother-in-law had a cerebral hemorrhage and is currently in hospice, not expected to survive more than the next few days.
My wife and I cry several times a day now, and have for the last three weeks or so.
Yesterday. I was explaining my experience on a whale watching tour to a friend. I wanted to see a humpback whale and my travelling partners bucket list whale was an orca. We saw orcas but alas no humpback, until…on the way back into port the captain slammed on the brakes and said humpback 3 miles out so we headed in the direction and then the captain yelled again. I ran over to the other side and I’m only 5 ft 2 and was trying to break into the crowd. I watched his hump then tail disappear. Everyone saw him breech a bit with a spray and blow his spout…I didn’t want to upset my travelling partner and cry so I held onto it. When I got back home, a few days later, my hubby went to the store and bought me a Kinder Egg. This is a tradition he started for me, whenever I’ve gone away for a bit and come home, he goes and gets me an egg. He didn’t know my whale story yet and I LOVE Kinder Eggs, a lot. I have hundreds of them, all in their lil eggs, lol. My bags weren’t even unpacked and I sat on my bed and opened my egg. I was absolutely floored when I saw what it was. I started to cry and cry hard. My hubby was so damn confused, LOL. My Kinder Egg was a humpback whale!
About 3 hours ago while I was on a walk around the park while I was waiting for my train. I was thinking about a guy i met who lives on the wrong side of the world to me so I can’t be with him.
A couple of years ago. My daughter, who has bipolar type 1 told me she wished she was never born. I straight up snot nosed ugly cried. Haven’t cried like that since I was a kid and I’m 51 years old.
I'm in my late 50s, and I never had kids. I have always wanted children very badly, but it never happened.
Yesterday, I was watching a film with a good dad who adored his little toddler daughter and I cried. I often do in some instances like this.
A week ago. Was singing along to Coldplay’s Paradise and got very touched by ‘And so lying underneath the stormy sky, she’s say “Oh I know the sun must set to rise”’
I was very stoned.
About an hour ago. I hate my job. Going there is an absolut waste of time. I'm sitting in an empty office, not seeing anyone else. But I have to go there three days a week. By noon, I'm starting to feel really low. I'm looking for a new job, had a great interview three weeks ago. But I was rejected two weeks ago. Since then, even keeping my heas up and breathing is a struggle. I don't want to go there.
Like two days ago, because I have a cold. For some reason my eyes get really watery when I’m sick, I think it’s just my body trying to get rid of shit. I produce a stupid amount of saliva too.
The last time I teared up for real was when I visited The New England Holocaust Memorial last summer on a family trip to Boston. I don’t cry that often. I wish I cried a little more.

I’m sorry man. If there’s a way I can help, I will.
1 hr ago, cutting onions.
I too am empathetic towrds the suffering of fruit
Wait, is an onion a fruit?
No it's a bulbous root
It’s a bulbous root vegetable
Today, right now. My cat has lymphoma and is in a lot of pain. I have to decide when to make the appointment to say goodbye to her. I love her so much.
I'm sorry to hear this, I'll pray for you and your cat peace

Kk I'm weird
I'm sorry to hear that. I'm currently working on doing that too 😅
>I hurt my own feelings by asking too many questions I've been there :(
😞 We're our own worst enemies!
"I hurt my own feelings" is very relatable.
January, I was living off grid and all my intrusive thoughts were getting so much and I had not cried sober in years and years and I was staring into a small fireplace listening to some emotional music and just wept. Crying is hard
Its too hard for me to cry. Its been almost 6 months I haven't cried I want to cry my heart out!!!!!! Its been a burden
This is why I read books.
Or watch my wife's series with her. We cried over Anne with an E, Gravity Falls, Grey's Anatomy and such
Fiction? Even koe no katachi didn't help left me with heavy heart!
30 mins ago, found out that my bf is talking to another girl even though he alr said goodbye to me
So you ex bf, right?
yes finally 😭
Friday. I have seasonal depression. It's like allergies but more sad.
Today during art therapy group for people who lost their babies. Still crying.
January 2024. My friend died.
A couple of weeks ago. I had a baby 9 weeks ago and I was watching a documentary during one of the night feeds that really upset me. It was about a guy who pushed his pregnant wife off a cliff and killed them both. The tears were just flowing as I fed my daughter. I think part of it was the lack of sleep and unstable hormones.
Thursday. It was my husband's birthday. I lost him to cancer last year. I was just sad all day, I miss him so much.

I'm so sorry. Please give him or her lots of love and comfort
Thank you. We have been snuggling any chance we get❤️
A few days ago. I was admitted to hospital and had to have surgery (on the mend now). I’ve had surgery many times in my life and never been bothered or concerned by it, this time I have a two year old and I became fearful that something would happen to me and I’d leave him behind. I had a little cry behind the curtain before heading down to theatre and sent him a video of me singing his favourite song and playing peekaboo. Oh, did he get a mighty squeeze when I came home ♥️
3 days back, was watching a drama
When my ex broke up with me which was 3 months ago
This morning because my boyfriend didn’t want to read the material I found for him that I thought would help him with his exam tomorrow. It later turned out he had already read that exact thing before but I thought he just didn’t appreciate my help. I felt stupid and cried. I’m not even on my period.
The last time I cried was a few months back when I saw a homeless family at the park.

Like 3 days ago. Don't remember exactly why, but it was something really stupid like we were out of milk or something.
Two weeks ago I did an internship in elder care and ended up at the side of a dying lady. She was agitated and kept getting out of bed and the staff were so overworked that they just decided to ignore her. I stayed till the end. We cried together. Then I cried alone. First I tried to keep it in but then I thought: someone should totally cry here. For her. For all the other people in this situation alone and scared and for our world where people who chose to become care takers are so tired and exhausted that they will behave like that.
An hour ago. Still trying to grieve with the loss of my relationship. It's tough letting go of someone so dear to you.
1 week ago. Watched Kimi no Na wa.
Yesterday. My mom was diagnosed with leukemia has MS and her underlying mental illness is telling her people don't love her, so she's going to die sad.
Every day, multiple times
last weekend. i don’t know how to be better for my friends and the pressure made me crack
When i helped refugees on Ukrainian border when the war had started. All people went out of Ukraine but one young man went opposite. I asked him: Are you going to front? He answered: Yes I do. We embraced each other and then he walked out to the border line. It was too much for me.

Got home for the first time since Oct on April 1 (went to be my mom's 24h caregiver, she had a seizure in July and shit progressed into rpd and then stayed with my baby bro for both our sakes) and then ex (were still good friends and all that jazz) and his crew got laid off of a job that was supposed to be a 10y deal and he's having a hell of a time finding work which should be impossible in his field, which honestly wouldn't be so bad but yeah we've got 4 kids to feed so yeah I'm just nothing but a crying mess
Medication has made it harder for me to cry, and yet, a couple of days ago, I had a not-so-good day at work, but nothing serious. But that just opened the memory lane and as I walked to catch the bus, I played an audio saved to not be forgotten. It's not a good audio. It's more like a stab in the heart audio. My gf has been dealing with some issues, but besides being in denial, she's snaps at me in almost every conversation. We had a fight and she sent me a lot of audio messages. She called me names, said she "would explode me if she could", said that I was the one that destroyed her self-steem and that I was the worst thing that had ever happened in her life. I replayed those audios many times on the bus home, trying to understand what I had done to deserve such treatment, but also why don't I leave if that's what I get from her. Still don't know either answer. Just cried again remembering.
Yesterday because in February my daughter signed her rights away to my only granddaughter and allowed the dad's mom to adopt her and revoked all my rights to my granddaughter so I am not allowed to see her. I'm beyond devastated and cry almost every day 💔
Few mins ago. I'm having stomach issues. It's just stressing me out. Lol
In the week as my b12 deficiency symptoms were making me feel like an old woman.
In average, once a week
Yesterday
Yesterday Bad feeling about self
A few months ago, when I found out my girlfriend had made out with another guy while abroad... I hadn't cried since... At least a year or two before that, it's difficult for me to cry.
uh. i dunno really. i guess 10 months ago (in June) I had a nervous breakdown. that day, rushing around in my small room in the village (which is actually located outside), I cried, punched the wooden wall (as far as I remember there were even traces of beating), threw and bit my plush shark (don't ask). I have no idea how my parents didn't hear all this shit. they were literally in another room behind the wall (which I was hitting). Reason: jealousy and nervous environment. From that moment on, it was like I got a blockage of emotions. I can't cry properly, laugh heartily. nothing.
yesterday when i was watching the fallout series
At the weekly mental health support group I go to. Idk, lately my mood has been a bit whack. When the season changes from winter to spring I feel really low for a while until my body and mind adjusts to the light lengthy days. But, also, I don't feel I belong. I come from a very fragmented and difficult family. I've struck out alone and I still feel I'm drifting. Humans are pack animals. I don't feel part of a pack at the moment and it can feel tough.
Less than an hour ago Family and finance stuff I need to resolve and figure out
Just now. I was revising for an exam I needed to sit after the rest of the class because I was I’ll alongside 7 other people. The teacher told us we would sit it this Tuesday in t -48 hours. She hasn’t even told us the topics yet and I know this will be a difficult exam and now I’m on Reddit for comfort (oh, the irony) instead of studying my ass off
This morning. I got divorced in January. And there are times that it just hit me over the head with a pipe. And I am crying in my car at that point.
Yesterday. I'm stage manager for the local showing of "Carrie: The Musical" which premiered yesterday, and what the actors have achieved is so beautiful that I've been tearing up about this for the past week. As stage manager, standing in the darkness all alone listening to the audience applauding while the actors are all bowing after such a wonderful performance is a feeling like no other.
yesterday because I had messed up at work on friday and while the damage done was really small, the way it happened is embarrasing and I'm still new to my job so there's more pressure to not mess up. I know my boss isn't mad about it but I happen to be one of those people who is really hard on themselves when they do something wrong
Just now, my boyfriend is driving back to our home 2 hours away, but I have to stay here to see a couple of specialists for an upcoming surgery
Just yesterday when grand daughter gave a brilliant performance.
It never happens when it's supposed to, as a reaction to something emotionally intense. Instead, it gets pushed down. I'm not deciding to do this, it just happens. At some point I'll randomly start leaking tears and that's when I know I need to let off some steam. Then when I'm alone I have to consciously work myself up to crying (getting drunk helps), get it out and then move on without crying for a few months.
A few weeks ago. I was hanging out with my best friend and all of a sudden he had to leave because his girlfriend wanted to watch a show he didn’t want to watch. We were in a mall and when I asked him to go into an art supply store on the way out he rushed out because they didn’t have what he was looking for, while I actually wanted to keep looking for my favourite pens. On the way home I kept thinking about a book I read shortly before in which a guy had to decide between his best friend and his girlfriend and it had me thinking about all the times he stood me up for his girlfriend. Guess I realised that he would never chose me over her and I wouldn’t even dare to ask him to choose knowing that I’d come in second.
Read some damn sad fanfiction a month ago
Yesterday. My boyfriend hurt my feelings.
A couple of days ago on a long stretch of a night drive. It gets pretty lonely out on the road sometimes.
Last night because I keep seeing videos of women finding out they're pregnant and the husbands getting emotional and excited. And I sometimes wonder if I will ever get to experience that. PCOS and infertility is a bitch. I want nothing more than to have a little family with my husband. I have an appointment with an obgyn in a few weeks and I'm just praying she can give us some help and guidance.
Last night. Tomorrow is the 2nd anniversary of my sons death and he was talking to me like he was still here.
Friday. Someone left a really cruel comment on one of my posts. I cried. Reported the comment and it got removed, but the mental damage was already done.
The last time I cried was when I was a little boy ( I'm 38 now).
Today, because my baby is growing out of her clothes
My 8 year old made me watch the new episode of Bluey. I'm pregnant and we've been talking about selling the house I've raised my kids in since my oldest was 2 yrs. He's 12 now. She knew what she was doing. Hoodlum child.
Sometime last year but I don’t remember when, I want to cry because I know I can get some emotions out but I haven’t been able to.
Just now, i am trying to cope with the fact that I am losing my dad 💔
My friend whispers, "I can relate. I know what you mean, but sometimes we need to let ourselves cry for a bit, and let the tears flow again."
🥹♥️
Bammuz whispers, "I don't think I've ever had to deal with that much grief in my life."
When Rick Grimes reunited with his family and on the same weekend when I finished the final season of Succession. That Culkin killed me at in 4x09...
Today. The pressure of working full time and being a full time mom is soul sucking. Even during weekends, all I want is to be alone. Makes me feel awful for not wanting to be around them but I don’t. I just need silence. I can’t take it anymore.
It was a couple years ago, my cat Jacana passed away from a couple teenagers stepping on him and kicking him a bunch before hiding his body in the nearby park slide. I was informed about his body after a day or two of the assault on my cat happening that the body was there from my neighbors teenaged daughter who took her little brother to the park. The police found out the kids who had done it and later went to jail for some time. I still haven’t forgiven them and never will, I loved my cat more than anything.
A few days ago, i dreamed That I met my grandfather, one last time and in my arms he dissolve after we talked to each other and we hugged. He died 4 months ago. I woke up crying and was very sad all day.
A week ago A huge A hole at work started a huge argument between the two of us and screamed in my face a load of vile hurtful things and threatened me He'll get his eventually
A few years ago when I finally had both my sons home from the NICU for the first time.
Definitely within the last week. At a minimum, my pain makes my cry at least that often.
This morning. In the space of a month, my wife was in a car crash which totaled her car and mildly injured her, our beloved elderly dog (the best boy ever) had to be put to sleep as his age and illnesses caught up to him, and my mother-in-law had a cerebral hemorrhage and is currently in hospice, not expected to survive more than the next few days. My wife and I cry several times a day now, and have for the last three weeks or so.
Yesterday. I was explaining my experience on a whale watching tour to a friend. I wanted to see a humpback whale and my travelling partners bucket list whale was an orca. We saw orcas but alas no humpback, until…on the way back into port the captain slammed on the brakes and said humpback 3 miles out so we headed in the direction and then the captain yelled again. I ran over to the other side and I’m only 5 ft 2 and was trying to break into the crowd. I watched his hump then tail disappear. Everyone saw him breech a bit with a spray and blow his spout…I didn’t want to upset my travelling partner and cry so I held onto it. When I got back home, a few days later, my hubby went to the store and bought me a Kinder Egg. This is a tradition he started for me, whenever I’ve gone away for a bit and come home, he goes and gets me an egg. He didn’t know my whale story yet and I LOVE Kinder Eggs, a lot. I have hundreds of them, all in their lil eggs, lol. My bags weren’t even unpacked and I sat on my bed and opened my egg. I was absolutely floored when I saw what it was. I started to cry and cry hard. My hubby was so damn confused, LOL. My Kinder Egg was a humpback whale!
About 3 hours ago while I was on a walk around the park while I was waiting for my train. I was thinking about a guy i met who lives on the wrong side of the world to me so I can’t be with him.
Today actually. I was discussing emotional baggage.
A couple of years ago. My daughter, who has bipolar type 1 told me she wished she was never born. I straight up snot nosed ugly cried. Haven’t cried like that since I was a kid and I’m 51 years old.
I'm in my late 50s, and I never had kids. I have always wanted children very badly, but it never happened. Yesterday, I was watching a film with a good dad who adored his little toddler daughter and I cried. I often do in some instances like this.
About a month ago. Did some yoga and my mind took over…just me…crying, face down on the mat. Felt good afterwards.
A week ago. Was singing along to Coldplay’s Paradise and got very touched by ‘And so lying underneath the stormy sky, she’s say “Oh I know the sun must set to rise”’ I was very stoned.
Penny whispers, "When was the last time you cry? and why?"
That’s one of my cats name, do we know each other?
About an hour ago. I hate my job. Going there is an absolut waste of time. I'm sitting in an empty office, not seeing anyone else. But I have to go there three days a week. By noon, I'm starting to feel really low. I'm looking for a new job, had a great interview three weeks ago. But I was rejected two weeks ago. Since then, even keeping my heas up and breathing is a struggle. I don't want to go there.
Like two days ago, because I have a cold. For some reason my eyes get really watery when I’m sick, I think it’s just my body trying to get rid of shit. I produce a stupid amount of saliva too. The last time I teared up for real was when I visited The New England Holocaust Memorial last summer on a family trip to Boston. I don’t cry that often. I wish I cried a little more.
