Yeah for sure, but that normally because when my SA is getting to me i'm more depressed than usual for some reason.
Thats actually how my parents found out, it eventually just got the better of me and i was crying in my room and normally i would've covered it up - or not cried at all. But I just couldn't give a crap anymore, and then mum had a talk with me and the ball got rolling.
Haven't cried in a while, but that because i'm trying my best not to dwell on it.
Crying certainly doesnt make you a pussy either mate. I think I probably do feel better after just crying for ages. :?:

regularly. i have to be ecused from lessons at school, or turn up late because i am in the toilets crying..i cry at home, in bed, when im out, when im with my bf..
anytime that it just gets too much.
theres nothing wrong with crying. it takes strength to show your emotions. theyre nothing to be ashamed of.

I used to cry every now and them. Then I just became numb and stopped crying completely. The last time I cried was a few months ago just before I started getting treatment. I've been feeling so good since (compared to how I used to feel) that I haven't had an need to cry.

yeah, i cry all the time...the thing i hate the most is when im at work and talking to my boss (or someone else important) about something that im concerned about i always feel like crying but try to stop myself because i couldnt bear them to see me crying...means im stressing out about trying not to cry which means i always come across sounding shaky and stupid - and i never say what i want to say.

I cry sometimes too. For no reason at all, i just hurt inside soo bad and it comes out, but i usaully feel better after, so i try not to keep it in, it depends on where i am of course i dont wanna cry in public. it used to like once a week, now its only once in a while so maybe im gettin better, i sure hope so. i dont wanna be like this anymore.

:roll: Crying can be a good thing. It gets rid of lots of pent up emotion and kinda clears the system for a while. It means you are feeling something at least.
I haven't cried for myself in years, I find that I can't do it anymore. sometimes I feel so sad all I want to do is curl up and cry, but I have just become so numb inside I find I can't feel anything anymore, not for myself at least.
I cry at sad films, and comic relief and stuff like that. but as far as feeling anything for myself, I have spent so much energy as a child trying not to cry, I have lost that ability.

Anyone see Richard and Judy last night? (or the night before; can't remember). I just turned on when they were interviewing someone who was saying how tears are right in front of our face for a reason, and not tucked behind our leg or something lol. We're intended to show our feelings for survival's sake. Seeing as phobias are a survival technique too, I suggest we accept crying as recompense from nature : )

i cry after job interviews like yesterday i went for an interview and all week i was telling myself its ok theres nothing wrong with you theres nothing to be worried about you do fine just breathe...but like usual mouth goes dry heart starts pounding and i the thoughts start " when i introduced myself did i say it really quietly" is she looking at what im wearing, i shouldnt have worn this" "she thinks im fat i can tell" "oh god she thinks im a freak" "already ive blown it, stupid, stupid, stupid" and then i cant wait to escape, and thats the first 2mins then i drive home feeling absolutly miserable at how pathetic i am, i get home slump myself on the couch and the tears start, its not much different with meeting new people except i dont cry and i usually feel better when its all over.
