How often do you cry?

For reasons I can understand, 2018.

For reasons related to my mental health and some issues I am having at the moment, last week.

Crying out of happiness, Tuesday night just gone, 20:37
 
I lost my Mam, Dad and Husband of over 20 years in the space of 14 months. I think I silently screamed myself to sleep most nights but didn't really cry much in the tears sense. The only advice I could ever give any one that goes through something like that is that you can only truly grieve one person at a time. However, now I have started listening to music again, it's some songs just make me fall apart, for example Ellie Goulding - How Long Will I Love You. I would absolutely blub if I heard it in a supermarket.
 
I once came home from the pub, drunk, and caught a bit of the film “Ghost”. I cried at the scene where Swayze pushes the penny under the door and Demi Moore realises he (Sam) really is there. I think it was mainly the booze though.
 
I dont cry at sad things. I have gone through much change from a young age, with moving death in the family, divorce etc. I have trained myself to think of the good memories and not look at what has been lost.

However I am a real blubber for happy things. These long lost family programs when they get reunited. I had a lovely christmas with my kids who are now grown up and left home. The pride I have when my team beat Chelsea or over perfrom against Villa.

Last time was when I got diagnosed with autism.

Sorry if this overstepping the mark... was the crying sadness? Was there any element of relief?

I am currently having my son screened. He's probably too young to understand what autism means. For me and his mam, I think a diagnosis would be a relief as it would help us understand why certain things affect him the way they do and put some coping mechanisms in place.

So Demi was drunk and imagined it?
 
I opened this thread and actually said out loud "fking hell"

I cry at b011cks things on TV. Someone wins sewing bee etc.

Family dies, zero emotion. Lost loads them to addiction or suicide or natural, zero emotion.
My brain is wired strangely. I cry most days but not at things close to me.

I cried when I read about legz, I don't know her but I felt strongly about it.

DM me mate if you need to speak to someone who has been through the process with a child, always open to talk.
 
I have just filled up watching BBC News where Kevin Sinfield lifted Rob Burrows out of his wheelchair and carried him over a finish line at a fund raising event last summer. God, that's hard to watch. Both
ex-players awarded the CBE for services to sport, fundraising and raising the profile of MND, and rightly so.

If I’ve had more than 3 glasses of a good hearty Rioja, I could probably cry watching University Challenge.

It’s become a bit of a running joke with our lass if we’re watching something like The Repair Shop or DIY SOS The Big Build on telly… “are you going to be ok??”

😂😂😭
 
I cry a lot but not in front of other people if I can help it. My family have enough to deal with at the moment without worrying about my mental health on top of everything else. I'm always furious with myself afterwards if I lose it and start crying when my mam is there to see it.
 
Stood outside the cloth hall in Ypres in 2019, listening to a British school orchestra. They struck up and started to play Glenn Millers Moonlight Serenade, which was special to my parents and played at my dad’s funeral. Totally took me by surprise and cut me off by the knees, blubbered like a baby.
 
My mental health precludes me to crying a lot- I get so low and depressed at times. Yesterday I had a complete meltdown that needed medical intervention.

I know what you mean.
I once blubbed out of the blue when a family scraped in with 200 points for the jackpot on Family Fortunes. AND.....they got ALL of the top answers.

Sorry to hear that, Trug. I hope you’re doing better, a day at a time.
