When was the last time you cried and why?

Today my 11 year relationship has come to an end. After lots of talks its just not going anywhere anymore

Mine was today.
Been feeling off for weeks and I finally cried. I then cried again when I saw a friends partner on facetime because she's so bubbly and happy and I wished I could be like that again. I felt like my partner has got the rough end of the deal being stuck with boring old me.

I cried last friday in hospital. After 9 miscarriages I am pregnant with baby number 10, this is our final try. At my 12 week scan last friday they think they have found an anomaly with the baby. It's just a measurement but its indicative of a possible serious health defect. I burst into tears and so dis the consultant midwife when she told me. We go to manchester tomorrow for more detailed tests but not sure how much more I can take. I lost my mum last year and I am at breaking point x

On Monday being told the baby that I'm carrying does not have the same fatal anomalies that caused my son to be born sleeping at 24wks last year. Best early Xmas present we could of asked for. Now I can finally tell our son he got his wish of his wee brother sending him a baby

This morning. My 6 year old is being bullied at school and school seem out of their depth. Came home and just broke down because I'm desperate to protect him and guilty of failing. I was also bullied terribly in school and finding myself remembering my own horrendous experiences.

A couple of weeks ago I got rather upset regarding my grandparents (both of whom are in their 80s and live in Johannesburg, South Africa). They are dependent on home-care help from social services, but the covid situation over there is just as bad and chaotic as it is over here. They're confused and lonely and not in the best of health, but despite our best efforts they can't get the help they need. I can't even fly over there given the current restrictions.

So its more crying in frustration/anger than anything overly emotional or sad- although I know things might change for the worse if the situation over there doesn't improve.

hi - i am from Johannesburg, SA - if there is ever anything you would like me to do, i most certainly will. Dont worry too much, Covid is mostly under control here despite what's in the media

Yesterday when I was feeding the poor semi feral cats who live at the bottom of the carpark in the local supermarket. There's one really shy black and white one and it's only in the last couple of weeks that he's started to come over to me and rub around my legs.
He was just coming over to me yesterday when a fucking asshole (sorry, but he was) roared into a parking space in his 4x4 with two Alsatians in the back barking like hell.

Needless to say the poor cat was absolutely terrified, ran into the bushes and no way could I get him back out

There were plenty of other spaces in the carpark so he really did it on purpose. Obviously thought it was funny to terrify the poor cats.

There's a group in the area that looks after them, traps and neuters them, but there are a few of us around that feed them too. The little black and white one is still young enough that if he was trapped he could find a home to live in. Some of the older ones are too feral and wouldn't be able to settle in a home, but I've being trying so hard with that little guy and it was ruined in seconds.
Cried when I got back in the car.

Me and my husband have been isolating from each other within the house as he had Covid. I stood at the bedroom door (I’m in the spare room) and we rubbed our feet together for some human contact for a laugh and my pregnant hormones made me cry

Been crying on and off since last thursday when I went to visit my dad and found him slumped on the couch dying. Paramedics were brilliant but unfortunately too late to save him.

Today. Sobbed my heart out when driving. 16 years since my sibling died and it all came flooding back. I’m usually OK on anniversaries but this is half my life time ago now and I just keep wondering about what they would be doing now and I feel robbed of a life I should have had.

I’ve cried multiple times over the past 5 days my partner of 7 years (whom we share 2 beautiful boys) didn’t come home Friday night because he was too busy sleeping with a girl from work. The worst weekend of my life, he didn’t admit it until Sunday and that was only because I’d pretty much worked it out for myself anyway. So now I’m looking at moving back to my hometown with the children and it’s breaking my heart knowing I’m going to have to tell my 4 year old that we’re going to be moving house and that his daddy isn’t coming with us my heart is breaking for my children. He’s still in the house for now whilst I find somewhere else (our house came with his job so it’s his by rights) Just when I thought he couldn’t stoop any lower, He didn’t come home until 1am last night and he’d been with her again. My sadness is shifting to anger now though and it’s motivating me to find somewhere new ASAP and give my 2 beautiful boys the happy home they deserve I just don’t feel like I’m ever going to feel happy again right now, I wouldn’t wish heartbreak on my worst enemy

I know this will come across as a pity party, but just now. Today is my birthday and so far only 2 out of 3 kids have wished me a happy birthday plus my husband(kids are all over 10yrs old and everyone is home today). I've had a bottle of expensive liqueur from them all which wasn't even wrapped and is something I would never drink. No cards at all and 2 texts/WhatsApp messages from my relatives, who live within 15mins of me. I've done the food shopping, washed up, done 3 loads of washing/drying and put it all away and cleaned the toilet/bathroom.
I like to make others feel special on their birthdays and like to pick cards out which show I've thought of them. Oh and I bought a small bouquet of pink roses reduced to £1.60 earlier to cheer myself up.

I cry every day. I’ve probably cried every day for a year since my mums Alzheimers got worse. I cried because I missed the old her, the thought of life without her, the thought of my dad without her, the sound of her voice. She died late last year. She had a horrific end, hallucinations and in pain, I cry every time I even kind of think of it because I can’t physically think of it because it’s so painful. I still get her scent, I can still hear her laugh. I don’t know if there will ever be a day that I don’t cry

I have been crying on and off all day, my gran died during the night. We were so close. We knew she was going to die soon but I’m completely heartbroken and it’s so hard to see my mum so sad. she was very old and lived such a happy and healthy life but I feel actual pain in my chest from feeling so sad

 

[Chickenandgravy]

Today....its a year ago tomorrow that I lost my horse. Not a day goes by I don't think of him. And the memory of him getting put to sleep and falling over has traumatised me so much. He was with me on my best days but more importantly my bad days and I owe him so much. A piece of me went with him that day

Today. I've realised that things are getting on top of me. I'm at a point where I feel like I may have to give up my rented home and move back in to my parents for a while to allow me to save money. I left a 10 year relationship a while back so have struggled slightly financially since then & now everything is increasing, including my rent and my wage is simply not enough. My ex and father to my son provides nothing in terms of maintenance because he isn't working and hasn't for a while due to his mental health. Luckily, my parents are more than happy to have me and my son there & have always been so supportive & have been telling me to do it for ages but my pride got in the way. I'm 34 and shouldn't be in this position. Single parenting is so difficult when it comes to money. My uncle has been diagnosed with bowel cancer & we're a very close family so it's upsetting. My job makes me cry with frustration because we're so overworked currently (NHS) and we're being shouted at by patients daily. The abuse we get is unreal. That's difficult to handle when you're already struggling mentally. I miss my best friend of 10 years who has completely removed herself from our friendship group since meeting a man and becoming pregnant after 2 months, she was also my sons godmother so its hurting right now. I also realised she deleted me and my other friends off facebook this week. Such a kick in the teeth. The world is just shit right now isn't it.

This morning, at the funeral of a dear boy, he was 20 years old and died by suicide. Check on your loved ones, they just might need asking twice, to make sure.

Basically constantly since yesterday afternoon. I had to have my bestie furry friend put to sleep because he had heart failure and I am just devastated. I can't even sleep properly because he used to sleep on my bed with me and his little cat snores would send me off to sleep myself. Heartbroken.

Today funnily enough, myself and my toddler recently left his dad, who was emotionally and physically abusive towards me but never our son. He’s kept the house, the furniture. Last week I accepted a council property and it’s all got ontop of me. Decorating, flooring, furniture, bills. Especially in the current climate. But I will do it, i’ll survive and i’ll manage for my baby. At least I know I will come out of it alive now i’m without the ex. Sometimes you just need a good cry before you build that motivation back, after all, there’s a tiny human I’m doing it for.

Nearly 4 years ago, a woman who was my first ever internet friend and who got me started on FB died, sounds mad that I should cry over the death of someone I've never met.
