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

[Suellen]

Funny you say that.... I heard mixed things. I heard a 20 something making fun of them. We did have lots of people say they liked the matching outfits ~ it makes it easier for me to keep track of them when I travel alone with them. They love matching outfits.

I was just glad they didn't overhear that girl mocking them. BTW ~ WHO does that??

Boo to that perosn! I think they are adorble! Especially if they girls liked them and it made it easier for you as a parent, I say why not do it!?

Some people need to be reminded that there is always a time and place to keep your thoughts to yourself.

After my husband left to Boot Camp after his Exodus, I was doing laundry and sobbed when I was washing his clothes. I felt like an idiot.

I do cry when I get really stressed, but I am approaching my 39th week of pregnancy. I am also not sleeping well.

I missed the bus to work last week and came back to the house crying hysterically - you would have thought someone had passed away! My husband thought I had gone into labor. Another bus was due in about 20 minutes and where I work, they really don't care if you are a little late. It was just so frustrating!!!

Thought you would enjoy this little tidbit...

I just put in Disney World Modern Marvels on DVD looked at my mom and started crying. Gave her a big hug and just started sobbing.

She looked at me and laughed and asked me why I was crying. I just couldnt' help it, I was so emtional.

Crying because I was stressed...NO

Crying because I was an emotional basketcase from loving disney...YES

I lost my husband of almost 25 years in early October. I still cry on the way to work and the way home every day. Anything with a Dad on TV/movies makes me cry. Despicable Me sent me into a horrible crying fit. I cry at night.....I just cry. I try not to cry in front of the 2 kids (DD13 and DD15) left at home. When I talk to my oldest, DD23, I try not to cry, but sometimes can't help it- she lives in NY and I miss her. I have to take the middle DD19 to the airport tomorrow to go back to college....I will cry all the way home. At least I won't cry on the way there (I hope!).

The other day was the first day of the semester, and I teared up in front of a colleague. Really regret that. I am a woman in the hard sciences, and that was probably another nail in the coffin in my career, but it was the third "sadiversary" of my husband's death....oh well. @#$#@ happens!

But, the rest of the day I am fine. Even almost functional. The dogs think I am nuts....and the cats just think I have gone over the edge. Oh well. Life goes on.......

I'm not much of a crier. But I don't like snow, in particular driving in snow, and one winter it snowed about three times a week for a very long time. I felt like it would never end.

I remember coming out to get into the car one morning in early May, and there was about six inches of snow on my car. I just burst into tears.

I'm a BIG crier under times of stress, and especially as of late (family issues for the past few months). Seems like no matter what I am doing I can't help getting that sad feeling and balling my eyes out. Once the thoughts enter my mind it's tough for me to shake them.
Additionally, under normal circumstances I seem to cry listening to love songs, certain commercials, and whenever I see certain romantic comedies.

My DH makes fun of me all the time, he thinks it's funny and I'm cute when I cry, but I do not.

I have been under HUGE stress lately. I could cry at just about anything. I started crying one night couldn't stop I strted calling myself Leaky because if anyone said anything I would start up again. My eyes were just about swollen shut in the morning and I had to go to work. That made me cry some more. Got out the ice packs that made my eyes a little better but I still looked like a wreck!

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who cries with Stress!!!

Val I'm so sorry to hear about your husband.

Lately I have been crying over everything as well! Last night I stepped on my dog's paw and she howled for a split second. That was enough to set me off and I think I was crying for a good half hour. Once I start, I feel like I'm flooded with everything I've been stressed out or upset about lately and can't seem to stop!

I'm glad I'm not alone in my craziness!

Kind of makes you want to cry doesn't it?

Val - I'm so sorry about your loss. Your tears are more than justified with what you are going through. I'm sure that your friends/family/colleagues understand and won't judge you for how you feel. The tears are a cleansing process - the mind's way of washing out the sad.
