When do you find yourself crying?
Some people tear up when someone says a nasty comment to them. Other people cry and cry watching a sad film.

What Makes You Cry?
I cry everytime i get this horrible and cruel flashbacks that seem to wait for me to be alone.
@inventiveScarf259
Being alone and having to face flashbacks can be an overwhelming pain. Know that you can always connect to a listener here or join one of the support rooms.
I cry constantly when i remember that my soulmate has died. He was the only person in my life to ever show me love. I ache when i realise that i will never ever feel love again in my life.
@sooty41
Letting go of someone whom you feel so closely connected to is hard. Not many people are blessed to meet their soulmates in life, this is very special.
The last i cried was when a buddy died that was 3 years ago
@DB1521
Any loss can be tough to have but the loss of a best friend can be particularly difficult to bear. How are you dealing with strong emotions since your buddy passed, if I may ask?
I cry out of frustration more than anything. Once upon a time I'd cry a lot but I rarely let myself these days
@QuetiapineQueen
I'm sorry that your life is sometimes so challenging that you're getting frustrated. I find giving myself permission to cry out loud can be very relieving.
I usually cry when I'm frustrated. Like, I know I could have done better but I haven't because I panicked or it stressed me out.
@SouthEast93
It's tough when panic and stress keep you from giving your best! I find that lowering self expectations and being gentle with yourself goes a long way. How does deep breathing work for you when you feel getting overwhelmed?
Remember the hurtful things I did when I was getting high.

I hope coming here will help you to learn to forgive yourself 💙
One night I was talking with my stepdad about how bad it is living at the house right now. This was when I was also very depressed and not feeling like myself. I brought up the point that I know I can't really do much at my current position, so I really have nothing to provide and I'm kind of useless. But he was asking that in more of a caring parent way. I realized that I thought of myself like I couldn't love myself, since I can't provide anything. Too wrapped up in my own thoughts to see what other people view me really as.
I held back my tears in that moment. I just couldn't believe I thought of myself like that. I really don't respect myself or take care of myself properly. And it's all because I help everyone, else more than I do myself
@EmberShard
Often we are our harshest critics and also the only ones seeing ourselves in a very bad light. I hope coming here will help you to see your self worth and learn to care for yourself too so you can feel better in life.
@soulsings
What makes me cry is any and everything really but i guess mostly what makes me cry is
- sad songs
- when i'm at my lowest
- when i hate myself
- when i think too much or too deep about sensitive topic
@soulsings
It makes me cry when I feel too stressed out or anxious. I also cry on sad shows and movies, as well as, crying when I lose people. I also cry when I see my mom cry. I hate seeing her cry.

Question: What makes you cry?
Quite recently, almost everything but it's cause my emotions are more sensitive and heightened due to the events this past year. Regularly, I'm a cry baby; movies, songs, books, etc. usually tug at my heartstrings. But if you're speaking about when I'm alone in bed at night, my thoughts make me cry. I think about my life now and how it used to be; how every thing has changed and the decisions I've made.. my worth and inadequacy (even though I've been told I'm enough). All of it makes me cry. I'm sure it's enough to make a grown person crazy.. Wait, hold on I think I just might be there (awkward joke to lighten the mood).
Anyways, I hope everyone is having a good week ❤️ I'm sending positive vibes and hugs your way (if you're comfortable with accepting it.)
