Does anyone else like crying? I'm finding myself crying for no reason, it has become something automatic. I don't feel a thing, but I have a sensation of lightness afterwards.

 No.8244

Occasionally I cause myself to cry by listening to very beautiful music. I think it's probably not very good for you, but it is cathartic. I've been feeling better recently, and haven't done it for a while.

Sometimes I cry for what seems like no reason. I don't know if I feel better afterwards, but there's a sort of catharsis, yeah. It makes me miserable at work because I'll get upset over something trivial, but I can't seem to calm down. It's such a relief when I can leave and just bawl my eyes out where no one can see me. It's so embarrassing.

I cry maybe once a year… It always feels good and I find myself thinking I should do it more often, but then I never do.

Most of the time, I don't even know what I'm feeling, or even how to put it into words. At least with sadness I know where I stand.

Crying makes me feel good. It's too bad that there aren't many things in this world that succesfully bring me to tears.
Although I guess it's fine since I wouldn't want to grow tired of doing it.

I almost started crying when I was drunk and out with my friends last night. I was just having a good time like I usually do, but when I was on the way home I just felt the urge to completely break down and bawl like a baby.
It was weird, really…

I've come close to crying twice when I've heard songs that really get to me, but I was driving both times so I decided not to. Got some bad headaches because of it.

I cried damn near every day for months after my BPD ex left me. I'd just walk around my apartment sobbing. I'd cry myself to sleep. Blubbered like a bitch inbetween being angry about what she'd done.

I cried at my grandfather's funeral. I cried when cats I raised died. I cried when a stray I fed was run over by construction workers, and I had to bury her.

I cried once when my brother flipped out after he returned from military service and started strangling me, so my mother freaked out and called the cops, but he was employed as a cop and they didn't want him to get in trouble, so by the time the cops got there they changed the story and claimed they called them on me. I was getting yelled at by everyone, for being attacked. I felt so fucking betrayed. I mean, that shit has happened over and over and over again throughout my entire fucking life, but that time it made me cry.

Other than that, no. Diagnosed with chronic depression since I was five, upgraded to major depressive disorder last year, but nope. Last time I cried was yesterday, actually. It sounds silly, but I saw a webm of animal cruelty on /b/, and it fucking got to me. I didn't know that was what I was clicking. Animal cruelty is one of the things I just can't fucking handle, and this was just pure fucking evil. I thought it was a special effect from a movie at first, but nope. It was a dog, covered in blood, it's mouth taped shut. Three of it's legs had already been removed. A woman was dragging it around by it's last leg sawing it off. The dog was flailing around trying to get her to stop.

I sat around angry for three hours, then just cried.

According to the last psychologist I've spoken to, statistically I should have killed myself or someone else by now -there's a lot I'm not going into here. I'm gonna keep right on beating the odds, even if only by doing and accomplishing nothing.

I've completely stopped going to webm threads, and I think you should too.

Crying in the rain or in shower feels amazing.

Sometimes I just get the feeling that I should cry, and then I think about certain sad and beautiful things and let it all out. It's like an orgasm to me.

feels kinda weird for a guy

Man do you sound like a bitch. No wonder your family hate you. I'm not trying to be edgy or anything. It's just that everything you said made me cringe. Jeez.

I didn't say my family hated me, my mother and brother are just batshit is all. My mother has symptoms of borderline and schizophrenia. My brother has bipolar and PTSD from his time in the military.

Eh, I mostly just come to this board to vent.

I used to cry over little things a lot in primary school and a bit more in high school. Shit was rough for me. It was only in my final 2 years of high school did I manage to finally get a hold of my constant emotional self and the crying/emotional me slowly dissipated.

Now I never/hardly ever cry. Mostly now because I'm a bitter, heartless, cynical cunt because I tend to detach myself from a lot of situations now instead of becoming fully invested in.
