Did anything make you cry today?

[AtramentousRex]

Not yet. But it might be coming.

 

[cactusjack0584]

Yes. But I find the tears well up easily these days.

I kind of feel the same. Sorry

When one of our friends pulled up with 20 bales of hay for our critters. he's so fucking sweet.

That is really nice of them

Yep

First session with a therapist today, and I thought I would be making free use of the tissues, but I only cracked when she asked me whether I had kids. I don't. It was a fact I was largely indifferent to until I met a young woman when I was 50, and I realized if I had known her back when we would have had a houseful.

I’m glad you have a therapist there to help. But I could see how that would stir up tearful emotions.

I just woke up… not yet

That’s good

A tv show I was watching made me teary eyed

It happens to us all.

Yes

Not yet. But it might be coming.

I hope it doesn’t

Major league attack of grief at 4:00am over my best friend's death, my wife's depression, changed friendships, childlessness, not seeing my honorary nieces again this weekend. Not crying, as such, but silent weeping.

 

[PMarky2]

On a positive note... one of my honorary nieces appeared unexpectedly this morning.

 

[UWERETHINKINGIT]

I spilled the milk but I held it together

 

[TongueLust]

Yes.

 

[MissMaidenMinx]

Today, no. Every other day for the past 2 weeks I have spent hours sobbing in the fetal position.

Edit - wait, I lie, I did cry today. I just stayed out of the fetal position

Those are perfectly good reasons to give in and let out a few tears. I’m sorry you’re having such a rough go of things.

Yes.

Yea
When you realize that it was You that wasn't good enough for them but someone else was

That someone else always is

 

[AtramentousRex]

That someone else always is

That isn't true. We come into one another's lives for reasons we can't know until later. Sometimes, we ARE right and good enough. Sometimes it's our turn. You get me?

 

[TongueLust]

Yes, family stuff.

Yes, family stuff.

Family stuff can indeed hit deep…

Movies can do that

I was about to say exactly the same thing!
Except I was going to add it's only 0734 so the day's still young

I was thinking the same thing since I didn’t wake up until after 1 pm here.

 

[PMarky2]

It is after 8pm, and I have held it together so far.

 

[cactusjack0584]

That’s good to hear.

That’s awesome!

Was about to say not a tear shed, but there was a couple this morning. My ex is an arsehole and our dog isn't being looked after properly and there is nothing I can do about it.

Otherwise my day was actually good

A few isn’t that bad. I can’t stand people who don’t care for pets. They depend on us so much, to just ignore or mistreat them is such an asshole thing to do.

He's an old dog, and generally easy to care for considering his age, but in a little less than a week he's lost half the fur from his back. I suspect mange. He has a few health issues that need investigating, but the ex just won't. I think I'm going to kidnap the dog and get him looked at. Unfortunately, I'm renting so can't keep him. The ex stayed in the house so got the pets by default. At least the cat's okay.

 

[Oralexplorer]

Knowing I let a good person slip through my fingers because of my insecurities. All the tears won't turn back time.

No thankfully, just the opposite really.
