I wanna cry

Oh, sunshine. Don't cry. Did you go home recently on vacation? This could be it, especially if you miss your home and family. I'll tell you something. I'm 65. My father passed away when I was 8. We were very close. A few days ago I was thinking of him and started crying, wishing he was here. This happens to me often. I don't have bad memories of that time, but I have plenty of bad memories from my adult life. These I do not dwell on. What happened, happened. It can't be changed. You need to pray, if you are a spiritual person. Also do things you enjoy. Take a walk in favorite place. Do you have hobbies? Friends, maybe you could spend time with? There really is no way to escape from your own thoughts. Remember that your father is watching over you always. Don't let bad memories spoil your days and nights. Listen to music. Something pleasant and relaxing or happy and upbeat. Do you paint? Or draw? Art therapy is becoming a very popular form of dealing with life's problems. Here is an interesting site www.art-therapy.us/art_therapy.htm and also www.goodtherapy.org/art-therapy.html If nothing else these sites will give you something distracting for a few minutes. I wish I could help you more. Please don't dwell on the bad memories from your life. You must think of the good.

Hi sunchinesophie, Sad to hear about what you have felt. However, such emotion is a normal feeling whenever you will reminisce the happy and bad moments shared by you and your father and to the entire family of yours. It is actually an agony of losing - an unexpected recurring of emotion every time that you're alone or shall I say have experienced complexity of the things and events transpired of your life. You should need to accept the reality of life and never carry the soreness of yesterday events as you go along because it will remain recurring to your mind. Think of the positive things to do in your life, improve your self-esteem, build your self confidence, and control your emotional and psychological factors in order for you to carefully drive the wheel of life into a joyous and merriment future without fear and hesitation even without him (your father). Good luck!

Sometimes something or someone can trigger off our bad memories making us sad it's like a catalyst, or someone only has to say something and immediately your mind starts to remember stuff that you have buried. Sometimes when we are feeling 'down' we tend to only remember the sad times in our life, and we start to focus on them, it can be very draining. But with tears you can purge the feelings and feel so much better. I wish I could cry, you heal quicker, I am also a strong believer that time heals.

Life is something where you could find something quite unexpected. Things happen quite fast and beyond our hands and we people can't do anything at it. We people should face it and over come it. May loneliness is what which makes you to think so. Try to get away from it. Happy Mylotting

the best way to put a troubled mind at ease is to pray and let your heart out. be happy and dont let the past trouble your present and future :)

I have done this before. Just randomly thought of someone and got super depressed. It always helps me to just have a good cry. Let it all out and fall asleep as a result. I always feel better when I wake up.

Yes, it's difficult when you lose someone Sophie. You are sad because you loved and cared about your Father and you still miss him. Try and think of the good memories you had, not the bad ones. I look at old photos and they make me smile because it reminds me of the good times. Of course, the memories cannot replace the person you loose but looking back, makes me feel better. Try it and see Sophie and remember the good times with love and fondness and try not to be sad, my friend. You still have family and friends that care about you. :-))

Sometimes as good cry is needed. If you still have left over emotions after that do something very active, exercise, run, swim, throw a ball around any thing that causes physical activity. Once you have worked the emotions our do some yoga or just pray or meditation to reprogram your mind. It's perfectly normal to feel an overload in our stressful world.

Cry if you feel like crying. It is one good way of releasing the pent up emotions. After you have cried you will see that you feel better. When we feel sad, we think of people who are close to us but are already gone. Cry if you must, and talk with them in the confines of your room. It helps to release whatever bad & sad feelings you may have.

It does happen when you feel like crying because you feel bad for something or somene.. actually last Saturday night I just cried because me and my husband fought for something.. and it really hurt me and I started thinking about everything that makes me sad and i it ended up crying but after crying I felt better.. so crying is fine as it releases the tension and sadness that you feel inside.. just cry when you feel like crying it doesnt makes you less of a person.. it actually helps to make one feel so much better..

Hi,i lost my dad also about two years sgo and when things are so challenging for me the pain of losing him gets so strong because i know if he was around he would help me fix things or tell me something reassuring.i think its okay to cry it makes you lessen the pain .

hey , I have felt same at times. 2 years ago , i thought of taking my life. Take a break and read something that is not serious. Believe me , i read Oscar wilde's stories for children. It eased my mind,

Cheer up! My grandpa was gone in 2003.He loved me a lot and so did I.Everytime I saw an old man who looked like him,I burst into tears and felt sad about losing my dear grandpa.Sometimes I could't cry so that I would force myself to think about my parents instead of grandpa.So that please distract your attention to the person who still love you or go outside to talk with your good friends maybe.We must live a good life and don't let the person who love us worried.

There was a reason, why you become suddenly sad. You love your father very much but he left with no return. In the past when your father is still alive, he is always there to assist you in times of troubles, to comfort you to protect you and to let you feel that your not alone. Now come the time that you are all alone a sudden flashback on your memory made you remember of your past, you feel the pain that you currently encountering for you remember your beloved father... GOD.. how painful it is. Keep your mind and body busy move on.. your not alone many are those who encountered much more that what you experienced..move on please

This is normal to feel sad and down remembering our long lost beloved ones. Just cry it out and spill out your emotion that will help you feel better after. But of course, don't let sad memories lingers in your mind always. Face today and moved one.

everyone has a sad mod in a period of time ,you know, you can go out for a short travel , find a friend to chat ,and do something others good for your mod and health. when i am sad,i will be running around the playground .donot stop until i feel good again.you can try to do this .

Hi sunshine, perhaps you need to speak with your doctor about this issue...I had the same feeling and things going going on and I had to take some pills for same and needless to say the pill have actually helped temendously...

you'd better do something else to aviod thinking zbout you father.Time softens mermories.Everything will be okay.Stand up and run towards yourfuture

I'm sorry to hear that, but I think you have the answer why you're feeling that way: you miss you dad big time. I wish I can give you a really good advice but I'm afraid I'm not much of a good talker. Maybe you can try to reach out to a friend that's a really good listener? I think that more often than not, people need more friends to listen to them without judging rather than have someone to give them advices.

Keep on going never give up.Never say die.
