Rivers of pain, tears of sorrow

When was the last time you cried?

It's been awhile. The last time was a year ago Christmas. I had a miscarriage 3 days before that Christmas. :( It hurts to even type this so I will have to stop.
 
The last time I cried was a couple weeks ago.

I cried over the insanity, lonliness, frustration, grief and irony that is my life.

And we do it more often than we'd ever admit to another person except online.
 
Yesterday.

Same old stuff... newly seasoned with a double fistful of helpless anger and bitter shame.
 
Three weeks ago, when I found out my dog has cancer. :(
 
I'm not sure when... but it was probably over my ex.

First loves hardest? I hope so... that girl tore my heart out and spit in the hole she left there. I cried more tears then I care to admit over her.

It took a shrink, some really good friends, and two years... but now I'm ready to take another chance at that four letter "L" word.

And yes - I do *really* cry like that... just not often.
 
This morning, at work, a customer came in and basically told me off and I don't normally let things like that get to me, she just caught me at a really bad time, plus I had just heard almost the same comments from my partner not an hour earlier. Normally I speak my mind, thankfully my boss did it for me because I was so upset, I just broke down, the day has gotten better, especially after I realized how much my boss really appreciates me after all.....
 
I cried myself to sleep Saturday night.

It's hell on the sinuses in the morning. :(
 
Last week.

What over?
Job stress, lack of sleep, foul fucked up dreams, frustration, loneliness, isolation, feeling overwhelmed, feeling unappreciated, worrying for friends, mourning a death...it all wraps together sometimes.

I don't do it often, but it's one of the things I do. Tears are cleansing. It's a good catharsis for me. It's a way I let the pain and poison go, then feel better, and cleansed. Always have.

It's a normal part of my healing I guess :)

*gentle hugs and tear-touching angel kisses to other tearful ones*

I would have to say that it happened a few months ago, and I'm not proud of the reason why. My father had sent me an e-mail telling me he had bladder cancer, and that he was going to find out how bad it was, and possible treatments. I haven't really been close to him (we didn't speak for all of my adolescence), and I hadn't responded to his e-mail.

A week or so had gone by- he had already gone to the doctor, and the guilt was eating away at me for not contacting him about it. I was walking home after seeing a movie with a friend and then I just burst out crying. Awful, huge, heart-wrenching sobs, probably just as much for the guilt of not talking to him about the cancer as for not having a good relationship with my father; realizing that he's getting old and so much time has been wasted on both sides, resenting and hurting.
 
Tuesday night, Icried for what seemed to be hours.

Why? I was promised a hug and he didn't deliver.

Otherwise, I don't cry often. When I do, it comes from the soul.
 
The last time I really sat down and cried my heart out was many months ago.

It was one of my saddest moments as a young adult. A friend who I worked with, a young man named Ed, had schizophrenia. Apparently he was having alot of trouble with it, and it was starting to show. My bf and I picked him up the day before, he was walking down the road and he couldn't remember where he lived.

We called his parents and they came to pick him up. That was the last time we ever saw him, alive. He stabbed himself in the heart with a butcher knife.

He was so young, and so talented. He was one of the most kind and caring individuals I have ever known. I can't explain it here.

I just felt so bad because I thought we could have helped, or that I should have told him how much he meant to me.

Very sad stuff. :(

I'm sorry to hear that (((Huggs))) Elizabeth
 
I'm sorry to hear that Lilminx....if you need a shoulder to cry on...I'll be here.
 
Just before X-mas for me.

I was cleaning some around the house and came across a card my vet sent me after my best dog died this past summer.

I was away on vacation when he died. Unexpectally(SP?). My friend found him laying in my yard. I drove straight home 8 hours crying the whole way.

I cried while digging a huge hole for my best friend. (he was over 90lbs).

I sat and cried next to his grave till I passed out from being up for so long.

I cried for 2 weeks solid. Losing close to 25 lbs.

I cry every time I have to mow over his grave

I cried every night for months.

I thought I was past that stage till I saw the card. I lost it. Once again I was sobbing unontrollablly. For close to 2 hours. I had fallen to the floor and had not moved.

As I type this tears are streaming down my face.

I miss you Roscoe!
 
when i got my grades. it wasn't the grades that made me cry, it was my parents. no matter what i do it's never good enough. i can never succeede enough for them to love me for who i am. i will never be the person they want me to be. and they will never let me forget it, as long as i live.
 
I hate to admit this, but the last three days in a row. Badly. My self esteem's in the crapper, I feel like life sucks and I don't give a flying fuck about much of anything right now. My health sucks, family sucks, friends suck (not the Lit ones), job sucks, dog is very ill, cat just died, all the things I believed in just sort of evaporated. I can't even read my son a bedtime fucking story without crying. :mad:

I'm sick of it.
If my day keeps going this way I just might
break something tonight.

I can't break my funk. I don't know how to even try anymore. I'm losing hope, losing faith in what I believe in. I'm just going through the motions in life. And now I'm crying again.
 
I know what you mean, Foxy. That sobbing from the gut, that goes on for hours or days. It's healing and cleansing.

I think the last time was when my first dog died a year ago. I cried myself to sleep for a week.

When my best friend died of aids 10 years ago, I cried for months. Literally. I didn't think I'd ever stop. Mike. (I wanted to invoke his name.) I still cry over him sometimes.
 
Last Friday night after having to make a telephone call I didn't really want too..........:(
 
Cried buckets for months before and after my dog died a year and two months ago.:( :heart:

Cried almost 3 years ago when the guy I was in love with finally figured out he wasn't "in" love with me after almost 8 years.:(

September 11th, 2001.:rose:
Haven't gotten over this yet, and don't expect to for quite a while. Hoping that viewing the site soon will help me to put a small bit of closure to this new reality.
 
Just a few days ago.

The only grandfather I have ever known passed away last month and this past weekend was hell. He loved hound dogs (blueticks especially) and there was a large convention of hound owners here with lots of hunting and such. We have taken him every year forever it seems. I think we all cried.

But one special man just kept me talking and helped me work through it. Thanks SC.
