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.

    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 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.

    A few weeks ago

    My son (4 months old) refused to sleep and was crying/screaming for like an hour

    Very frustrating, and I cried a mixture of sympathy tears and frustration tears

    The last time I cried not from my son was like 15 years ago

        It's tough but rewarding. I know it's cliche, but I really wouldn't trade being a dad for anything

          I always tell people that having kids is like doing heroin. It's the most incredible and awesome thing you'll ever experience in your life. And you absolutely should never do it.

    I'm on new medication and I cry at hallmark commercials. I am happier than before though

    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 am, thanks. I was close with the previous resident here. He passed away, and when I left, I left other close people behind.

    No tears for a long ass time but I basically had a no-tear cry when I realized I was struggling so hard to keep up with cleaning, cooking and excercise mentally which is literally what nearly all adults do and many do it on autopilot. Made me feel like such a child.

    I was smart enough to recognize that was just imposter syndrome by the next day but it hit hard at the time

    The last time I cried out of emotions was when watching a game that you play by blinking. I don't remember the name, but it was emotional, and I couldn't help crying. Yeah, lame, I know.
