I hadn’t cried in 7 years and decided to do some emotional exercises to make myself cry. So I managed to cry about 4 months ago, haven’t been able to since even with my grandmothers death. Might start trying again.

    My wife had covid, and was sick enough we worried about her surviving. Maybe too dramatic, but she was very sick and it scared us both.

    After she recovered there was a morning I opened the fridge and she had made me a sandwich to take to work. And it just came rising in to me that we were okay now, she was back.

    I cried hard.

    I like that exercise actors do where they watch a clip that made them cry in the past. That scene whwre Dr. Gregory House indirectly saves the quadraplegic with single shot of cortisol gets me every time. Such a soft spot for those who heal and are healed.

    I’m currently battling a burnout. Well, I was at the step just before the burnout. I lost my best friend who died in March, and it really made me fall down the downward spiral.

    After that, I used to cry randomly, without reason, or for the most ridiculous reason.

    Like, sitting in my 4 years old son’s bedroom and tidying his books, and I’d start bawling, wondering how the hell did I end up having this little guy in my life, and what did I do to deserve it.

    That was one of the… Normal days.

    Fortunately, I asked for help before it was to late. I’m on medication, and things are much, much better now.

    I’m quite the sensitive guy and I cry easily, but this was way, way worse that what I’m used to.

    About an hour ago. I have been suffering from severe depression and just need an outlet. It made me feel a bit better though.

    I cry at the most random things. Most recently I cried during the last episode of Only Connect because a contestant solved a clue in a very clever way

    I genuinely don’t remember the last time I cried. I’m a very stoic person. Stuff that makes people cry barely touches me, and that sucks sometimes. It doesn’t feel good, knowing that that source of stress relief is just blocked for me.

    Was rewatching house and watched probably the two best episodes of the series and it made me cry like crazy. I forgot about those two episodes.

    I’m one of these strange people who don’t cry even when feeling very upset, sad, or grieving… but at the same time, I sometimes cry when reading/watching a heartbreaking scene.

    I teared up a little yesterday watching Elemental for the first time. Last time I full on cried was when I watched Coco with my daughter.
