Ever cried yourself to sleep?

I have done it very often in my entire life it's just that I don't have a good life just like other people have. I'm jobless and very dependent to my husband on my every need. I didn't have a career because I was so stocked up with my obligations to my kids and my husband. I'm not so happy with this life.

Yes I have. When I've been depressed or had bad things in my life. Sometimes for no good reason really. But just because I've felt so bad and just cried all night until I've fallen asleep. It really sucks because I had bad dreams then too, I guess my dreams were affected by my state and also the things going on in my life aswell. And I've had bad dreams and sad dreams as well and then started crying at night, it's bad because it's dark and silent and not really much to comfort me when I start feeling bad. So it can be hard to feel better.

I have cried myself to sleep many, many times in my life. Several times have been because of problems with one of my parents as well and the others have been because of problems with my husband

I think we go through that several times in our lives. It doesn't mean we're weak, it just simply means that there are times when we can't do anything about the situation and crying is the only thing we could do for the moment. However, as of your dad, I think it's not your fault that he's not who the father you wanted him to be. There are just people who aren't really mature enough to be responsible for their actions. They're selfish and only thing about themselves. You should not feel insecure about this one, it's his problem that he's detached, not yours. Further, I think it would be great though if you learn to appreciate your mom better. She has been both your father and mother. She has done all she could to make you feel you're complete regardless what. Learn to love her more and appreciate her presence instead of looking for those people who aren't interested in your well-being. Be happy. Good luck in your game!

yeah i ever do this because im fighting with my mom and it makes me hurts altough im really hard headed about my opinion ,but now im understand altough my mom is wrong i cant fight with her because my mom is the only one person that i really" respect,and in my life i never see my dad,im just seeing him in photo,only 3x4 size photo :),im happy because i know what him face looks like,whereas my dad leave my family i think it's my karma ,maybe i have something wrong in my past and now i get this condition,sorry im talking about karma,because i believe in karma :),just accept what you have in your life,sometimes it doesn't like what you wanted,we cant mad to the god or whatever,:)

Might I add that growing up i had the same relationship with my dad. He was always working for this big company catching a plane to different states and i only saw him 1 day every 2 weeks he would come home, he pretty much lived in hotel rooms. It is very rough. I dont have the relationship with my dad i could have had. you should call your dad and tell him he better go to your game or else. Dont pass up any oppurtunities you have to spend time with your dad or any other family member, your family is the most important people in your life. Give him a call and ask him to come see you at your game, I am sure he would love to hear from you, and see you play football.

I'm sorry to hear that you cry yourself to sleep over someone who doesnt show they care about you. Something just doesnt seem right about that. I wish that we could stay as uncaring and unattached about the people who have deserted us. I do not have an absent parent but I know plenty of people who have. Its sad. I cant imagine just not seeing my kids they mean so much to me! I do cry myself to sleep a lot mostly over men. Anything really bad that goes on in my life seems to always have something to do with men.

yes.. mostly when i was young. hehehe.. but few months back.. i did. i had a misunderstanding with someone special and i can't talk about it with anybody so i just cried and cried until i fell asleep. i still think about it sometimes but as much as possible i stop myself from crying again. it's a horrible feeling. hey.. cheer up. in any possible way u can. most important is, u'r alive and u know how to love. someday.. smile now.

Ouch! How embarrasing is it to actually admit this? Well, I'm not bothered about that and don't mind admitting that I have certainly fallen asleep in a state of shedding tears but this was some while back when things were going quite bad for me. I guess I still have my days but I am in more control now although there is probably nothing wrong with falling asleep whilst shedding tears! Yes, that's some pretty painful information that you have shared with the My Lot community and I have some painful stuff of my own going on in my mind but I try to lock it away at times. Anyway, I had quite a painful family experience myself during my childhood years and I tend not to think about that too much now. I think that having a good cry can be therapeutic and you tend to feel like a burden has been lifted from your shoulders afterwards, well I do. Anyway, all I can say is keep on sharing stuff like that with your friends as it's good to get it off your chest. Andrew

Yes, all the time. I often cried myself at night until I drifted to sleep. Lots of reason to cry while sleeping, most of the time, I cried for my own life, for what's coming ahead for every anxiety and loneliness I felt, for my failed dreams and for all the humiliation and rejection I felt.

Of course, dear. I believe all of us have experience crying ourselves to sleep in one point in our lives.:) I am married and there were times in the past that my husband I argued so much. The thing is, we do not settle the fight right there and then, he just kept quite while I was weeping silently, too.... There were times that the pain was so much that I'd cry myself to sleep. sometimes, I'd cry remembering my two kids who are far from me right now. They have to be left in the province because it is too difficult to bring them all here with me in the city. I do miss them so much but there's nothing I can do but to pray that one day we will be all together again. I pray, and I think of them while crying until eventually I dose off... Oh, I hope that your father will remember to visit you soon...

Well, compared to the reason why you cried yourself to sleep, my reason was so shallow. I used to cry myself to sleep when I was younger, whenever the apple of my eyes(crush) didn't even pay attention, it really made me very sad. :(

I never cried when I would sleep, I think both my kids that no longer exists in this world, and I have not seen my two children's faces. I feel very guilty because he could not keep my two children that during their in the womb, that's what makes me always cry when I would sleep.

Well, i think that people so many cried in their life. It's not unusual. When i cry out loud, i feel better, and hope that no body can see me, because at that time i look so ugly ;')

Definitely i do, in fact just a couple of weeks ago i had a very very bad dream, i can't even say it now coz it scares me to think about it. It really scares me that i found myself crying at my sleep. I woke up sobbing with teary eyes. Sorry if i can't share the details, really scares me and don't want to think about it anymore. Have a nice day!.

awhh,,. you're making me cry.. im sorry to hear that mrlips. yes, there were times that i cry myself to sleep. mostly about family and few times with regard to lovelife. so hows football? whats your position? i love football! :P

Sadly, there have been times that I have cried myself to sleep. When i was younger, they were times when I didn't get my own way. As an adult, they have been times of loss and sadness. i hope these times will come far and few between for me in the future.

Mostly for love. I cry myself to sleep a lot after heartbreaks that take a while to recover from.

It's to bad to hear this. but maybe your dad is waiting on you to come around. as in reaching out to him first? 70% of young men who grows up without their father leads to a path of distruction. sounds to me that you are NOT on that path. still in school and playing sports. he should be very proud of you! but as for me, every time i happen to cry myself to sleep is because of something that really got me upset about my boyfried. i haven't cried myself to sleep in a long time though. and i hope i'm not speaking to soon. but now, my boyfriend is a good boyfriend. no more cryin over him.

yeah..when i was young.......when i was madly in love and a little misunderstanding would make me cry so fast. but now.........i would cry so my eyes would get tired.....so i can sleep...it's difficult to find sleep especially during day time and you have to stay awake the whole night for your work.
