Irrational crying when you're stressed - what have you cried about?

[Ember]

As I said in the rude invitation thread, today I burst into tears when the photocopier jammed up on me. Through my tears I was laughing at my own ridiculousness, because who cries over jammed paper?! Another poster mentioned irrational crying is always her indication, too, that things are maybe a little too stressful at the moment. So fess up, I know we're not the only ones, what strange things have YOU cried about??

The box I mentioned in the other thread was probably my biggest crying fit, but there have been others. A couple of times during the worst of my stress I cried about not being able to find something. Usually some article of clothes for one of my girls that they want to wear. My kids just look at me like I'm crazy.

I cried in the car today while singing Miss American Pie.
It's been a stressful day.

Don't worry. I, too, have cried over jammed paper in the photocopier. I mean, really, who could blame us? You open all those stupid doors to get the one-half piece of jammed paper, and then it still says "jammed". It's like the photocopier is mocking us.
I hope your day gets better...

I cried once when I dropped a plate of eggs. I was pregnant and for some reason that was the only thing I wanted for dinner. They would have been yummy, with spinach and feta and everything. There were no more eggs left so I had to have cereal for dinner.

Give yourself a hug and some chocolate we're all allowed to be sensitive sometimes.

I KNEW I was pregnant when I cried over a broken calculator.

I was paying bills and balancing the checkbook and it dropped on the floor and shattered into a million pieces.

I broke down in a two year old type tantrum, begged my husband to somehow fix it, and cried tears until I couldn't breathe.

I mean, I was emotional, it WAS my high school algebra calculator, you know. It was 15 years old!!!



I got a positive pregnancy test the next day.

Threw a FIT when I couldn't get into our house the other day. The lock sticks when it's cold out-- I was freezing, had a ton of groceries in the car, and was NOT in the mood (stressful season at work). I literally burst into tears and wanted to flip out-- took me 20 minutes to get into the house. NOT preggo, just emotional in the situation!

I cried yesterday - on the way to work - I saw a cat who didn't make it across all 3 lanes of traffic and got hit - I didn't see it happen he was probably there for awhile - but I cried... it wasn't my cat - didn't belong to anyone I knew - but I had tears streaming down my face for this dead cat. I started thinking about the family who wouldn't be able to find their cat - and started all over again. Not sure what was up with my yesterday! Mind you, I also saw a dead dear, dead squirrel and dead opossum - those did not make me cry! Oy vey!

I did really cry (ok, more like sob and made my dh hug me) when Tinker (hamster) died in June, but it was the last thing that I could take after a long string of "stuff" happening!

Me too, a few days ago I cried when I went to sit on the couch and wanted the ottoman moved closer to me and because I was in so much pain from over doing it (I have had some terrible back pain lately) I couldn't bend down to move it or push it hard enough with my legs so I started crying.

DH said "please don't tell me you are crying because of the ottoman".

Hearing my daughter sing in choir.Just something about having a daughter who sings (I used to be in choir)that gets me but good.

I just cried today when I called my DH to tell him that I just called the oil burner guy back out to the house for the 4th time this season. The house reeked of oil smell. DH was trying to fix it, but was out walking the dog. I knew he didn't want to incur another outrageous bill, but I couldn't stand the smell. I got him on his cell and just started crying because I didn't want him to be upset that I called them. He was fine with it. Turns out we needed the guy - it was a leaking gasket on the oil filter. But the house still reeks . It will take time to clear. I have been keeping a lot of stress in lately and this just sent it over the edge. And, by the way, I hate oil heat.

We I'm stressed, I watch a teer jerker movie. It gets the stress out. The other day I sobbed watching my son kick some serious bottom on the basketball court. I pulled my hood up and hid my face. He's had a triple double - his first.

DH just found out he lost his job on Friday. I've been crying non-stop since it happened. I am crying right now actually- I had to cancel a weekend trip I had planned with friends and they want to pay for me to go. How blessed am I- wonderful friends. I won't go as I would feel funny. But them offering that, well that's what I needed today. So these are the first happy tears I've cried in a few days.

I've done this before. I wasn't even stressed when it happened. Hmm...

I've been really sick over the last few months with pain from gallstones and was being shuffled back and forth to doctors before I found a surgeon who would take it out. There were several times where I broke down sobbing. Although I was in major pain, it wasn't the pain that had me crying, but just being so frustrated with the entire thought of being sick longer. My poor mother would just say something on some days and I was so stressed from it that I would just start tearing up! Deffinatly been stressful for awhile, but hey, sometimes those tears are good to get out!
