Have you ever been so tired that you randomly just started crying?

[omghidanielle]

I wasn't able to sleep AT ALL last night, (felt like this )

Went to work for a full day, which was probably not the brightest idea. Since I wasn't sleeping, I had showered, done my hair (twice, because honestly, does it EVER look right the first time?) and at 6AM, over an hour early, I left for work. I rode a terrifyingly quiet El train, sat at my cube on my giant empty floor, listening to the theme song from iCarly on repeat on my iPod, sipping a super fabulous $1.99 small sized Coffee Coolatta until it got to that gross 'too much ice:not enough syrup' ratio, watching the seconds tick on a clock, contemplating when would be a good idea to start Christmas Shopping and whether or not it was a fantastic idea to name a kitten Vivenne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt.

SOMEHOW I made it through the day, I remember the morning, but the afternoon and end of the day starts to get hazy, and SOMEHOW I made it home.

(I don't remember coming and/or going, I'm starting to think that maybe I teleported , but that doesn't exactly explain how my car got from the train station to my driveway.)

And, while making dinner, I just started to cry!

Just like this ---> Serious, serious tears of absolute sorrow that even worried my cats. There wasn't anything that happened that may have hurt me or even upset me just a little bit (well, that I'm aware of!) to spark this.

My DH came home and made me take a nap. And when I woke up, he told me that when he came home, he asked me what was wrong, why I was crying and my response was:

'Remember when I said I didn't get into college because my school sent my applications to the wrong school? ...that was actually the plot to the movie Orange County.'





This needs to not happen again.

To answer the simple question... Yes.

But not to the Orange County plot... lol

 

[marypoppinswannabe]

Yes... This happened to me last week. I got one hour of sleep from 10 to 11 and was awake for the rest of night. In my situation, ,I fell apart at work because I spilled coffee on my shirt. Two of the guys that I hang out with came by my desk right then...They were shocked, because I am not "cryer" at all. So, I am crying and they are laughing...Helped jerk a knot in my tail, but I was one step from tears for the rest of the day.

My DH works 13-14 hour shifts all the time.. when he gets tired he basically crashes...

I have been known to tear up if I am tired though.

 

[Sparx]

I've had to start driving 2 hours a day (i work an hour away) and the first day i got home, i just laid down and cried and cried and cried because i was so tired. it was awful.

i'm always weepy if i'm tired, and i typically cry very easily, so i definitely feel your pain. i hope you sleep better tonight!

 

[Jennasis]

Yes...today. I am so beat that I snapped at a couple of kids today then went to the bathroom and cried.

 

[AmericangirlinFrance]

Yes. I cry easily anyway, but if I am tired, forget it. Anything will set me over the edge. A week ago, I was exhausted (and dealing with some other issues), and the guy at the Walmart paint counter was being totally unhelpful in picking out the right white paint. I could feel tears well up in my eyes, and I had to run away to a deserted camping aisle so I didn't bawl in front of the paint guy.

Someone else said something about spilling coffee - if I'm tired, I always cry when I spill coffee. I had a very petty argument with my (then) boyfriend on the phone, then I spilled coffee. And then I cried my eyes out.

I know to expect it - I try to avoid any situations that might set me off!

Oh goodness yes. I am pregnant and, consequently, not sleeping well. Just this past Saturday I went to work out on the treadmill. Could. Not. Do. It. Instead, I laid down next to it for about 20 minutes. I finally heaved myself off the floor for fear my husband would find his pregnant wife passed out next to the workout equipment. I went upstairs--he was still asleep--stood by the bed next to him, and the flood gates opened. "CA-A-A-A-A-NNN You-u-u-u (inhale, inhale) get U-U-U-U-pppp with DD. I'm SOOOOOOO Tired. (Inhale, Inhale, sniff, sniff).

I ended up taking a three-hour nap.

Been there, done that. I can be watching a not sad movie and start crying.

Since I had my tonsilectomy, I have really had the blues and when I got up and was getting ready for work I started crying. I felt terrible as I was going to work. At work we ended up having some mindless stuff to do and for some reason that seemed to help. I guess just doing the repetitive task of stuffing some things into a little bag and then sealing them up lightened whatever stress was on my mind.

 

[threecrazykids]

This literally has me laughing out loud. I just found out that I have hypothyroidism which FINALLY explains why I'm so stinkin tired . I also do the inhale, inhale, sniff, sniff while trying to speak to my DH over silly stupid things.

I have been known to bawl at commercials that are not even suppose to be sad.

At which my hubby says "oh no...not again!!!"

 

[VMK_MagicalLadee]

When my dad forgot his cord for his non-snoring machine.

Oh. my. god.
It was in a hotel room, no way to get away from him. I couldn't get to sleep because he snores so loudly so i kept throwing stuff at him, eventually gave up and just started crying. I tried to go sleep on the cold bathroom floor, but I gave up and went and.. laid in my bed for 6 hours.

Lately I have been under some stress (both DH and I lost our jobs, having to move, cat died, trying to pack and downsize, and all recent issues with DS) so just a little stress.
Well I am not normally a cryer and after everything this weekend I just lost it for a few minutes.
I know that when I am extremely tired sometimes I can get teary unexpectedly. ALthough I don't remember ever having any random plots to go with the tears.

I just had a thread on this on here yesterday. I basically have gotten about 3 hours of sleep a night for the last month. SPoradically more or less off an for the past five before that, the previous 12 somewhere betweeen none, 2 and 6 never all at a stretch. I just realized right now my son is 16 and I have not had a full nights sleep in at least 16 years. I can't tell you what a full nights sleepp is like. I can't tell you how many meltdowns I have had over the years from lack of sleep. My husband while my kids were small on a good week would only work 60 hours most of them late nights and weekends sleeping in. I remember what a big deal it was that I woke him up on his day off on 9/11. I have been up sine 4 am today with no end in sight. I have no one left to complain to about my lack of sleep and the only new idea I have gotten is either a sleep study, seconal or sonata. I have tried it ALL.

 

[Diva of Dragons]

Ooooh yeah! I'm not an easy crier but if I get over tired

It's normal, right? It's what babies do naturally, before the world tells them "big girls/boys don't cry"!

We tired criers are the normal healthy ones. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

I've been looking for a job ever since my son and I moved back to CA. last August. This is the most frustrating situation I have ever dealt with. My sister keeps saying that I should at least apply at Wal-Mart, that it would at least be something. Well I am aware of that and have and you can only apply every 60 days but still nothing. So, my son left for Denver last Wednesday to visit his half brother. I've been holding back the tears from stress for a while cause I didn't want DS to see me cry over this job thing but as soon as I got home that morning after dropping him off at the airport I just let it go. I think I cried off and on for the rest of the day. It was just something I needed to do.
