ever feel like just crying?

sometimes it's good to say fuck it all and be strong. but sometimes do you ever just listen to some song and justcry? like it reminds you of a hard time in your life or missing friends... i miss times when i hung out with my friends and my sister watched my kid and we all moved away from eachtoher and they unsderstood me. or listening to some emo or coldplay and remembering the summer that my bf & i broke up when i was pregnant. that was the hardest timeof my life... is it okay to just want to cry? i have relized that i am not as much depressed as i used to be. although sometimes i wonder if it may be from not having enough time you know? i am glad i am a mom and have my daugther... but sometimes i think it's good just to let it out. of course i am happy most of the time or tired hehe... hmm....

of course its ok to cry! Sometimes I'm just having a rough day and I hear a sad song and just cry. People cry for different reasons, maybe they're frustrated, sad, angry, upset, or even happy. It's natural emotion....and i'm someone who cries easily.
And besides, after crying i usually feel much better and can think a little clearer.

Wanting to cry could be from you not having enough time. Either to do what you want, or enough time to yourself. Maybe take a few hours out of the day for yourself, if thats possible. Or one night try and get a babysitter and spend time for yourself, because you need to put you first sometimes.

Trust me girl you are not alone. There is a lot of times I just WANT to CRY!!! :cry:

It's "normal" when there is a lot of stress or at anytime. I cried last night....

Yes, I feel that way too sometimes. I am glad you are happy most of the time! It is totally normal to feel like crying sometimes, especially when something triggers hard memories.

Crying can be healthy. I say, if you feel like crying, then do so.
If you're crying all the time-- I would look at what's causing that to happen. But, crying sometimes, just because you feel like it, is perfectly normal and can be really benificial.

Well, you're definitely not alone. The other day I was watching Girlfriends, of all shows, and a re-run I had already seen before at that. Well, there was this scene at a church and the choir was singing this newer gospel song where they're like "We fall down... but we get up" and I just started crying out of no where! I was just sitting there with tears running down my face thinking- this is so pathetic!!! But it's all good- sometimes you just have to let it out no matter what triggers it. :wink:

You are NOT alone on this one. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed at having to take care of not only myself, but 2 other people as well. It's hard being responsible for lives that are not yours!

I always seem to feel better after though. :)

Everyone needs a good cry every now and then. Country music always makes me cry. I like that song "Life Out There" by Reba McIntire.
