When was the last time you cried? and why?

Last night. The reason is because I'm so overwelmed with so many things on my mind and trying to get the things I need to get in order in order but I run into a road block every where that I turn and top it off, my dad is very ill and we don't think he's going to be with us much longer. And trying to help them move and their old house is 4 hours away from their new one. My chihuahua is at the vet today for surgery but is doing ok. It's enough stress or rather too darned much stress for me. Last night I cried a little bit, not much but enough to release some of the stress.

I have trouble crying because I've been conditioning myself most of my life not to cry. The last time I had a true crying spell was when I found out my mom was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and my dad said she would likely only live another 2-5 years. I believe it's been about 3 years now. She's bedridden, but still doing okay. I usually go online when I'm depressed or tense. I just discovered myLot today, but I also have a blog at LiveJournal where I post my thoughts and feelings.

Sometimes crying is the best way to let out all the frustrations and stresses that have built up in us. The last time I really cried, other than during a sad movie or when I was in pain, was when I found out that a person that I thought was my best friend was stabbing me in the back and saying extremely mean hurtful things about me to another good friend of mine. It really hurt, and I think I cried every day for almost a week. But after I got it all out, I felt better and it helped me to think more clearly so I could deal with the situation. I hope you come to enjoy your new home here in the US hon.

Well, I shed a few tears this morning. A person close to me must have been having a bad day, because when I went to talk to them, they blew up at me and yelled, over something that I had no idea about. I tried hard not to let that person see the tears, but when I left the room, I did cry a little. But not for long. It's just that the anger was so unexpected.

Well, the last time I cried was yesterday, while watching the movie EIGHT BELLOW about the 8 husky dogs left on Antartica lone and on chains for more than 160 days. Lovely movie really, and the tears were dripping from my eyes for most of the time. When I feel depressed and need to cry, I do so, and it usually helps. Whe trying to suppress your tears I think is making it harder on yourself. Maybe a good talk with a friend could help too. TheFortunes

i cry alone,i always cry when i am drunk

Its been quite some time since I cried... I think I last cried when my grandpa expired, and its been almost 2 years back.. I was really very attached to him... Things happen for good and I understood completely after he expired... He was suffering from acute heart pain, nothing was able to cure him, he was always in pain... I think he's better of now, resting quietly in some star, watching his little grandson from above...

Well crying is good for you because it releases all your repress feelings and it allows you to move forward. Is normal to cry when we experience a life change ,and it makes us stronger. Diversity brings understanding among people. Is a good thing to come out of your culture and learn about others. I left my country when I was very young and I always missed my family ,but I'm very happy now in the U.S. I'm sure that you are going to be just fine. God Bless.

Since I hit menopause, I cry about 4 times a day. Any time someone mentions something sad. Anytime something is really poinant, someone is sincerely caring, etcl. It takes next to nothing. I used to be able to wait and cry in private. Forget that now. Tears roll down my face before I can excuse myself or before I even know it's going to happen. People don't understand and they think they've hurt my feelings. Some get upset that they hurt my feelings and some think it's wonderful because they're trying to make my life miserable. Luckily the one that was really into that is now out of my life. Take care

ohhhhhhh claire,last july i break up with my husband and everytime i remember what he did to me ,,its make me cry,..i always make my self busy and i tried not to think about the past, the pain he gived but sometimes cant control my self to think what happen in the past for my life....and its make me cry ..huhuhuhu

i never cried when i am with my parents but when i came to hostel to study i cried about 5 times a weeek to be that much far with my parents and that is the only situtuion i cried

hello claire. crying is a natural thing, just let go when you feel like crying but consider where you are at that time, public place won't be too comfortable. smiles! i don't really remember the last time i cried. i almost cried about a week ago when a friend asked me about my mother. there were actually times that i asked myself, "why aren't you crying?" or even test myself if can still cry. weird. but i guess, i have learned so much from the past experiences that crying doesn't solve everything. i tell cry when you want to, but don't sulk. i know you are adjusting, probably feeling alone sometimes. you will get over it. you are in a different place and culture, explore it. others before have felt the same way but the minute they work at the adjustments to new life, things change. your native land will always be here as your home. time for change now. get up, get yourself busy, find new friends, explore your new world....take care always....Perry

I cried yesterday. I ate a piece of capsicum.Oh, it's too hot.I felt burning. So.......5555555555

Hi, Claire!!! Moving to a different country is tough. I myself moved to Finland from Indonesia about 6 months ago and the first two months were the toughest. I did cry a few times during those months without any specific reason. I also have some friends who moved abroad and they all admitted that the first year at least was the hardest. For me, the past 4 months have been pretty easy since I can find MANY friends through blogging and they've truly helped me A LOT. Don't be too hard on yourself when you just moved to a new country. Be kind to yourself. Make mistakes and laugh. Don't condemn yourself. Try to make friends. I myself am shy, so I get by by having online friends. If you're a more outgoing type, maybe you won't feel satisfied just by having online friends. Maybe you can join some group or club somewhere. Just rest assured that in 6 months or a year you'll fit in. It just takes time. When it comes to your questions...when was the last time I cried? Hmmm...maybe a few days ago. I was feeling tired of giving my time to my friends. Why? Because they're far busier than I am, so they don't have enough time for me anymore. And that saddens me. I can't expect more from them, but I feel that my love tank is also depleted. Gladly yesterday I managed to talk to one of them via YM, so now my love tank is filled again he he he he... When I feel depressed I write depressing poems or I write in my blog. Having other people commenting on my blog does help A LOT. Blogging is VERY therapeutic for me. ;-D Hope you'll cry less and less, Claire, and later on find that you feel at home in the US. ;-D

Crying is good for the soul. i cried last night because I could not get Bruce to understand me. In the end after I cried, I realized he did understand and I felt much better. Crying releases emotion. I release *alot* of emotion. LOL

Hello Claire, well it is always good to cry. Hope you start to feel better soon. Like you said, sometimes we just can't help it so it's good to let it out. I'm one who doesn't like to look weak and I do keep it in sometimes but if it's something really bothering me I speak with my husband and just let it all out. He's always there for me when I need to cry. The last time I cried was about 2 weeks ago. My brother told us he was HIV positive. I was in total shock, I'm still a little numb about it but just the other day I started thinking terrible things when I was home alone about how one day he might not be here with us and how soon it could be or when it will be and I just had to let it out and cry. I know there will be many days like that to come because now everytime I hear a sad song on the radio I always think about him and I start to get teary eyed.

The last day that i cried is because my baby got sick and in that day too i remember my husband when he cheated on me... I really feel so down because, we have no enough money to support my baby's medicine and my husband is not yet home so i really think that time that im alone and he is cheating on me... GOSH i just dont know what to do, i just cry so i can let go all my worries and fears..

Hi claire03! I completely understand how you feel because I got the same feeling of homesickness and culture shock when I went abroad to study. However, with the question of when was the last time I cried, well, just last night. My hubby and I had a misunderstanding and we both slept not talking to each other. I just prayed a lot when I feel so hurt and sad but then he just embraced me when he thought I was already sleeping and that did the trick. We snuggled close to ech other and had a good night sleep. Take care and be strong. Have a nice day.

I cried last time when I lost my grandmother... It was years before but I still remember the day when I got the message... It was very bad because I really loved her. She always made me cookies and we went to zoo every month and I always prayed with her. She was a beautiful person in her mind. Always helped for the poor persons or anybody who needs help without any racism or something... God Bless her!

I cried when my grandpa passed away 13 years ago.That was my cry last time.I don't used to cry.But when I see some moving deeds or characters,my tears maybe fall from my face.There is a TV program each year named with moving China.It chooses the most ten moving people in our country through public appraisal.All the ten people are advanced.They work splendidly and extra hardworking.What is more,they do many moving deeds to help oters.There are always many miracles about them.I always moved by them.
