How long has it been since you last tried not to cry, and what was the situation? Were you successful at not crying?




(This has NOTHING to do with making sandwiches for me, by the way.)

  • A dog in the back of a pickup on the freeway.   I think that was about 3 weeks ago. I would have full-on bawled, but my husband gets pissy and annoying when I do that, so I held it in.

    If I have something I have to do, some responsibility, then I might only cry a little.  Otherwise I don't try to stop myself though sometimes I go into the bathroom. I would guess girls are allowed to cry more.

    Last night I was talking to my kid about some serious stuff. I didn't cry and I also didn't hyperventilate as a result of holding in the tears! 

    Yea, me!

    I cried this afternoon for a very short time, but didn't try to stop.

  • I really try very hard when I am taking my English boyfriend to the airport after we have had a nice visit. But I have never been able to hold the tears in.  This last time when we pulled up to the curb,I was not crying, so I was sure this time I would be okay!  But as soon as his luggage hit the ground and I was giving him a last hug from deep down inside came these hard wracking sobs and I was toast!  It gets worse every time:(

    It's a long time since I felt tears threatening.
    I'll let them come if I'm alone but never in company.

  • I cried badly an hour ago because this slightly older lady I know is too complicated by my poor confused simplistic brain and I want a girlfriend and not a fly by night venture where I am concerned the lady is just using me for her own profit and I got vulgar and nasty for nothing just to show my wellness of being human is not for your spurious consumption of unwanted goods and I have anxiety too about trusting her after all the negative happenings and she wants me to join like an Amway thing or recruiting and I am livid but want a women who is not out to abuse me.

    Two weeks ago. Fourth anniversary of my mother's passing. Toasted her memory,  lost it completely giving the tradional prayer:
    "May the road rise up to meet you,
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face;
    the rains fall soft upon your fields
    and until we meet again,
    May God hold you in the palm of His hand."

    I broke down and cried like I haven't since her funeral.
