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.

  • Pretty much never. I used to tear up at the end of literally every episode of Cold Case (the moment where the killer is brought to justice after all these years and we see the ghost of the victim looking on) but now it only ever comes out in moments of total disaster. Like if I can feel myself becoming totally overwhelmed and am terrified of losing my mind again. And even then I need to be talking to someone for that to show as me bursting into tears; otherwise I guess that bridge between my brain and my body isn't connected.

    A lot of people report crying during films etc. but I’ve never really done that. Except during the lion king I guess, but that is quite a different experience with extra meaning for me. 

    I can definitely see what you mean about the feeling of being overwhelmed though. Words become a lot harder then and a voice can falter etc. which can indicate upset and negative feelings.
