Do you ever cry?

Do you ever cry?

It is such a rare occurrence for me, but today I did when I was exercising in my garage gym. I think I know why I did, but often understanding my emotions can be a bit confusing for me.

I think many things got on top of me in this instance (both positive and negative feelings) that it came out in this way. It’s quite an intense thing really.

I just wondered what everyone’s experiences with this was as I know everyone is different.

  • I used to get a feeling like a build up of sadness and crying was trapped behind my eyes but wouldn't come out. Now I know what that was. Sometimes I get tearful when I'm just downright confused or frustrated ("worked up"...meltdown?) so it isn't always sadness. Sometimes tearful when things are a bit of a release so positive. Sometimes when I'm just "up past my bedtime".

    It’s interesting to read about the idea of it getting trapped, because this is what I tend to experience. Almost like I won’t let myself show how I’m feeling. It’s an odd one, but I’ve been like it for as long as I can remember. I don’t really get tearful when I’m happy, but it has happened from time to time I guess. For me, it most often comes out when I’m listening to music to be honest. Not really sure why.
