When Is The Last Time You Cried?

I balled my eyes out last night I was so sad.

This morning after I ate three donuts.

A couple days ago thinking about all of the dogs I miss

Every Tuesday.

About 20 minutes ago.

Lately everything that can go wrong has gone wrong and I’m exhausted, fortunately I have telehealth with my therapist tomorrow.

I’m very, very gay and I’ve only cried a few times in my life, as a child.

I tear up all the time, having a sensitive nature. But I can’t remember the last time I cried.

I’m a ball bag these days.

January, 2020 after watching the movie 1985.

In January my father, mother, brother and I had a phone call with a specialist treating my mom. She’s had a series of TIAs (they think that’s what they are, but aren’t certain). He talked to my parents and I individually. It was a long conversation and we were all on edge. When I went to leave that evening my mother thanked me profusely for coming and participating. We were alone in the kitchen. I told her that she (and my dad) are the most important people in the world to me and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for them. I started to cry before I could finish the sentence. I just turned and left. She won’t remember this because her memory is impaired now, but it’s a moment I won’t forget.

I will well up and tears will roll down my cheeks at the slightest of sad or touching movies, some songs and even a few touching commercials but that is different to me from a cry. I can't remember the last time I cried because I was upset or sad about something I don't think I have ever cried as an adult, I didn't cry at the deaths of either of my parents or my older brother from suicide, nor for any grandparents. People just aren't that important to me. Death is sad, it just doesn't bring me to tears.

Holly Hunter in Broadcast News let us know it's okay to cry

Two days ago, watching The Leftovers on HBO Max. It’s like grief porn.

Watching this

When Eddie left Debbie for Liz.

Aww, R10, so sorry to hear. Sounds like you have good parents,

Whoa R13

I am a huge Leftovers fan but have never thought of it as sad or grief inducing. It's more a journey of discovery.

What scene made you cry?

I can't really cry for myself. I can cry in empathy for someone else or while watching a sad movie.

A few days I was able to get into an old Flickr account and found pictures of my dog who died at 14 in February when he was a puppy. I miss him so much. I cried.

i get weepy several times a month about losing my marriage but glad I do as it makes me know that i really loved him , even though he is batshit crazy now

In this instance, it was the season one finale. Kevin finding Jill in the fire. Tommy reunited with his mom. Nora finding the replicas of her departed husband and children, putting them in bed and kissing them goodbye. And then finally, the scene where Nora picks up the baby.

The first season isn’t a patch on the other two, but it has one of the best, most meaningful final lines ever: "Look what I found."

OP, I quit using Zoloft in 2017, after 18 years. One of the two remaining side effects of quitting is choking up for no reason. It's effing annoying. The other is a permanently runny nose. I'm glad I stopped taking it. My brain actually remains rewired. I was concerned I'd fall back into the unhealthy habits I had before I started taking it (200mg p).

I guess R21 -- I found all that mystical and a reminder of what was in their subconscious brought to the fore, wasn't sure if it was reality or dream.

But different people have different reactions to things so not saying your reaction is not valid. I will need to rewatch and consider someone finding it very sad.

R21 was meant for r17. Sorry!

I am one of those who rarely cries and was surprised, when I found DL, to realize that many posters were being literal when they said that something made them cry.

I was sad when my grandmother died a few years back, but she'd had dementia for several year and so it was like she'd been gone for a while already, she was in pain and she rarely recognized her own children let alone her grandchildren.

I sobbed when my mom and dad died several years ago. I tend to shove food in my mouth to stuff down my feelings, but there wasn’t enough ice cream in the world to fix that.

Oh, I don’t know that "sad" is necessarily the emotion I was experiencing with much of it, r23. Catharsis moves me to cry quite often.

That said, the stuff with Nora seeing the (fake) faces of the ones she lost was VERY moving; it flooded me with sadness. I just made me feel what it must be like to experience loss on that level.

We really need a good Leftovers thread. Didn’t mean to hijack this one.

As we're deeper into the anniversary of New York's COVID peak last spring, I'm finding a lot of my emotions very raw about it. One of the nurses and I were talking about it, and she reminded me of the time that the woman who overheads the code announcements broke down while she was announcing the umpteenth Code Blue one day. It took me a minute to compose myself after that memory came back.

All good. R27

I'm not a crier.

Christmas morning after I opened all my gifts and realized I didn't get ENOUGH!!!

Was it the lack of cha-cha heels?

Crying as I type this....

Who are these heartless zombies that never cry?

Bitch, I'm balling watching Suzanne Somers Lifesavers commercials

January 18, 2021 when I had to put my cat down. I cried before I made the call to the vet and on the way there. I pulled myself together for one last chat and cuddle in the car before we went it. I held it together during the process and when he died and cried all the way home.

I lost two of my oldest, closest friends in the past year and didn’t feel nearly the same level of heartbreak. I hope grieving my cat’s death so intensely was in some way misplaced grief that I wasn’t able to express for my friends. On the other hand death in the time of COVID is surreal with no funerals, no real closure.

I used to be the type who would shed a tear or two at a movie or, when alone and thinking about how sad something was, would cry a bit. But about fifteen years ago I left my bf who had been. . .I dont want to say "abusive" but I let him screw me up mentally with his shitty treatment until one day, I left. I haven't cried since and I think about that every now and again. I dont think my inability to cry is because I'm happy or life is better. I think I'm afraid that if I start to cry, I won't ever stop.

I'm crying right now looking at the lifeless body of Alan Kurdi the drowned Syrian boy.

I cried reading about the murder of Ryan Peralto.

Does everyone cry during the Shirley MacLaine scene at Debra Winger's hospital bed in Terms of Endearment?

[quote]I never believe straight guys who say they've only cried a few times in their life.

Straight men lie all the time about the most trivial shit.

Two days ago. I was so damn tired I couldn't stand it.

Watching Rhoda the other day. It was Season 3, I think. Ida got a job distributing magazines and snacks at a hospital. Rhoda and Brenda were so demeaning to her. After Ida explained her desire to feel useful, I was angry-crying because of her ungrateful children. Sometimes, I want to smack the shit out of Rhoda.

I was holding you and loving you

Knowing it would end

I'm too sad to tell you

I also cried watching the Leftovers, for me it was Season 3, right before Kevin killed (child) Patty.

I'd like to cry every day, but I can't spare the moisture.

Only cried laughing. At the thread 'gay male horror titles' (there's also a lesbian version I can never find). At videos of people falling down on YouTube. I laughed til tears rolled.

"I was holding you and loving you...Knowing it would end"

Not sure if anyone got your Streisand reference.

Do you need to be kissed in the rain?

I feel like crying at times...the lump is at the top of my throat, but I can't seem to have a good cry. I might squeeze out a tear or two, but a good sobbing is hard for me. Sometimes it takes a good, sad movie to bring me to tears.

....or something so funny, the tears are rolling down my face.

R46, maybe this one? One of the many things I will remember about 2020.

Yesterday

Maybe a week ago because I was lonely.

Last week because my cousin died of a drug overdose

You're all pussies

[reply 53] I am sorry for the loss of your cousin. The question I should ask myself is when haven't I cried? MARY! I have lost it in some way or form every day since I lost the one true love of my life to suicide. My only consolation is believing that he was a Datalounger before he died.

About 20 minutes ago while watching the YouTube video of Twenty One Pilots cover of My Chemical Romance's "Cancer".

The last time I cried was December when my mom died.

She was a wonderful woman and a wonderful mom. I was lucky.

Not a big cryer but, for me (and anyone who needs a nice sob), it's "The Elephant Man" and it's not just a tear, it's a gush. The level of cruelty and moments of kindness make me bawl (not ball) like a baby. Can only watch it every few years since it is so draining but it's a beautiful film.

Over sensitivity and crying at the drop of a hat are signs of depression, once you're on meds you stop all that shit

You would be surprised how often people you know cry

I cry everytime I remember how great DL used to be until the Imaginary Story Threads and Pussy Threads came along...And having 8 threads on the exact same subject---every single day---always makes me tear up too....

R61 I was thinking today how different DL was about 2012-2016. Now the experience is similar to Twitter. Mostly predictable, sarcastic negative one-liners

There were more thoughtful responses with 30-40 replies in an hour, when now there will be maybe five in a day and then will die out.

The last few minutes of "Field of Dreams" never fails to make me cry.

Every single day while I listen to the original Broadway cast recording of FOLLIES.

Monday after paying an unexpected $2500 auto repair bill

Last night,after watching a bunch of reunion videos on you tube. I dont really cry in front of other people,but will sob for hours in private.

(R63) Im a MESS every time its on........

Listening to this

'm crying as I type this

This one always gets me

A good cry can be a massive relief.

I recommend this show. It shows how people go through the hospital process and some of them die in front of us.

It's all real.

My adult son died without warning about 13 years ago. I still cry now and then when I think of him. Grief has to be experienced. There are no shortcuts.

I though I'd lost my dog to anaplasmosis earlier this summer. I cried like a baby for a whole morning. Thank heaven the vet saved him. He was wearing a tick and flea collar but the nasty little bastards got him anyway.

I left my hometown a few years back. I had visited my Mom (Dementia) and my great Aunt, (100 years old). I pulled off crying realizing I’d never see them again and I was right. Covid hit and I couldn’t visit them. They both seemed to have died from infections, not Covid. Anyhow, i had a bad crying fit that day.

I cried with joy when my niece made it into medical school. She tried so hard and deserved so much praise for her work

My cat got cancer and became VERY sick very fast,I started crying the moment I got out the vet and kept crying everyday until he passed, when I buried him his fur was visibly wet because of my tears.

R10 reminds me that when my father was in the hospital a couple of years ago, and I was along with him, he started telling me how important I and my mother are to him, and before I could answer I started bawling like a three-year-old. (Other than that I've only lately cried at sappy movies.)

Sending hugs, R10!

I have never cried for a person, and I've lost a few.

I cry regularly for a little cat named Lizzie, with long, grey striped fur, who died too soon 25 years ago.

I cried when my cat got terminally sick and I took him to the vet to be put down. A terrible day
