I think the privilege shown by these people is flabbergasting.

Life is a challenging bastard.

Sometimes I'll hear song or watch something that's sad and then start thinking of made up scenarios like what if I had to put my cat down one day and I'll just be streaming with tears. But then when I'm actually upset about something or angry/sad in real life you can't get a single tear out of me lol.
I'm not sure about the last time I had a full on cry, but I had tears in my eyes seeing my mum's dog the other day. He's been a part of the family for 9 years and loved so much by us all. The grandkids adore him too.
The other week he had an accident in the garden. Nobody witnessed it so no one knew what happened. He had an odd wound. It didn't really bleed much, it was like a big scratch. The neighbours' cat was nearby, so my mum wondered if they had clashed. Both my husband and I went to have a look (we work with animals and my hubby trained to be a vet nurse in the past) we both agreed it didn't look like a cat bite.. it was a straight line. And it wouldn't be a cat scratch, because there was just one and it looked too thick for a cat claw. We also noticed a bump.
My mum rang the vet for advice that day, ready to bring him in. They said to bathe it with salt water and bring him in the following day.
At the appointment the vet told my mum it is probably a cat bite. They prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatorys.
Days passed and he was not improving. He had little appetite and my mum brought him back to the vets. He was admitted to the hospital site. Turns out he had a twig impaled in him! Bear in mind he's a little dog (italian greyhound) and this twig was the size of a forefinger! I went to see him after the op and he had 2 drains where abscesses had formed. He looked very sorry for himself and i was holding back the tears.
Had the Vet done their job properly and felt him they would have felt the lump that I did. As I said it looked nothing like a cat bite either. It should have been found and removed on the day the accident happened. He must have been in pain, poor boy.

Driving home from work last night. Horrendously busy shift, no breaks so no food for 12. 5 hrs, had survived on a few roses chocolates that were on the desk, and some bad news that happened to one of our ladies.
This morning reading the headlines feeling like this will never go away
Yesterday. I miss having my family all together... we all live in different places right now and with what's going on I don't know when we'll all be able to get together again. 
Thankfully everyone is healthy but I just want to give them all a hug!
I'm also job hunting and it's really stressful right now.

Yesterday. Not really got a single reason why, just feel very stressed and emotional at the moment. Everything just gets on top of you sometimes doesn't it.
So sorry to hear that
About a month ago. My daughter is at university, and even though it's her final year, I still miss her like mad. We are incredibly close. Anyway, on the Friday night I'd had a mini meltdown about life in general with restrictions etc. Then the next day there was a knock at the door and she'd popped back to surprise me. I burst into tears and gave her the biggest hug ever. My husband had known for a few days that she was coming back, and it was really hard for him to keep it a secret when I'd been having the meltdown the night before. He did though, and I was glad.
Today while driving home. Three deaths of friends/family in the past two weeks 
The Oscars telecast... Why do I put myself through this torture ? Why, God ? Why !?
Earlier today. A few days ago a girl on my twitter timeline had indicated that one of her friends was on her way to a job interview and had to meet an agent. The friend had called her a few mins to the appointment time but the call ended suddenly. She now reached out to their mutual friends and everyone one else on their twitter timeline. A complaint had been made at the police for a missing person and through the help of the people of twitter they were able to figure out who the agent was and had used a hashtag to signal everyone about him being the last person this girl met with. The guy was subsequently arrested and his dad as well and from his confession at the police station he had met up with the girl and kidnapped her. Taken her to his father's house where with the aid of the father and a cousin she was kidnapped raped and subsequently murdered and buried. It brought a tear to my eye as she was very young and all she wanted was a job to recover from the drawbacks of the pandemic. The guy now is in police custody together with his dad and this afternoon the body was dug up an taken to the morgue before being handed to the bereaved family in the coming days.
I have a small baby, so I cry most days
Today it was because I looked at her and she was just so cute

Today i got blocked by someone who I thought was a friend turns out they're just a massive hole and if tit hits the fan i won't be to blame
Today, I realised I am emotionally burnt out and empty after supporting and caring for loved ones and taking on everyone else’s worries, fears and anxieties.
I didn’t realise until today what was making me so short tempered and numb and then a conversation with my boyfriend made me realise that I was just empty. My mind was just saying ‘no’ to anything and everything else cos it needs time to recharge.

Cried because I had to empty the dishwasher after working a 6-2 shift, meanwhile my partner has done duck all but play with his STUPID VAN when he could've at least done some sort of housework.
I'm 7 months pregnant so it's defo the hormones cos I never cry

Night before last. I moved city away from my friends of 20 years with my boyfriend just before lockdown hit last year. Now it’s been over a year since I’ve seen any of my friends and had no opportunity to make new ones of my own (new job from home etc) so have been relying on being able to socialise with ‘his’ friends here. It’s a mixed group and I thought I was fitting in well, but then saw the girls were all out for drinks on Sunday and I hadn’t been invited and obviously nobody had considered I might like to be included. I was busy anyway and I don’t want pity friends but it stung that I wasn’t even asked.
I’d had a few drinks so seeing that on top of so long of not seeing my own lovely pals got the tears flowing!
