crying

[monkey]

i hate how it feels after youve cried for a few hours. nevermind why one would cry for a few hours.

some people say that it feels good to cry. to me, it feels shitty. it sucks to have the puffy eyes and the pain (oh the pain) that develops at the sight of light. and the area around my lips gets all red and my nose looks like rudolph's... it aint pretty.

so do you cry? and do you love it or hate it? and do any of you know good remedies for puffy, extremely sensitive eyes that have spend a few hours on the waterworks train?

[b i o n i c]

:( i hope it wasnt them pigs that made you cry, fucking motherfucking motherfuckers.

the only thing good about crying is the feeling afterwards, sorta like that feeling after an orgasm. not that i've ever cried or even shed a tear before

[monkey]

oh no. im fully assuming this is a chick thread cause men dont cry. ever. ive never saw that time my brother came out bawling after seeing big fish. as a matter of fact, every dude i know didnt come out crying after that movie. what was it about it?

and it wasnt the pigs that made me cry. nah. but the fact that i had to deal with them helped.

[b i o n i c]

^^^ the only time ive ever cried was when my avatar pic was taken

that and the time broke 37 bones getting clipped by a train because i had to go and save a group of elderly blind nuns in wheelchairs from getting hit by train... i shed about half a tear that time

[Lyman Zerga]

i cried for hours two days ago

but usually i hardly ever cry anymore
even if i have enough reasons to do so



sometimes i feel great after crying
sometimes even worse afterwards

[Planetary]

G's dont cry.

[Documad]

I cry a lot. I cry easily. I cry like Holly Hunter in Broadcast News. I just let it go while I'm alone and get it over with. I usually feel better afterwards.

My worst cries are over frustration rather than sorrow. I rarely cry over big stuff, but when I do, I can't catch my breath and it's not pretty.

I make sure to remove my contacts immediately and I flush out my eyes with saline solution. I just let my eyelids be puffy for a while.

shit i always feel better after i cry i thnk thats how you know your still human (n) i cry pretty often too, mabey after a long day or if i half no one to talk too, which happens alot. pornaprophy makes me a little emotional after i look at it after awhile, but it doesnt make me cry. my advice is mabey wearing sunglasses while you cry because then they cant see the tearz inside (!) even if im at home ill put on a pair of shades because then my folks cant see and my punk bros will leave me alone. its alwaysa good to unleash your feelings tho; no harm no foul

[Dorothy Wood]

I've never cried for hours. I cried a shit ton when I lost my job and when I realized that I owed $1900 on my student loans. like, a week later. all at once or something would happen, I dunno, they'd come after me take my shoes? the people on the phone were like, "so, could you put down at least $1000?" I cried so hard I thought I'd die.

I can't cry for long because it usually escalates into screaming/wailing (into a pillow, because I live in an apartment building) and that's hard to keep up. or I look at myself in the mirror and say, "stop crying. grow up." I don't like crying while I'm doing it, but I usually feel better when I'm done.

[g-mile7]

fo real dorothy i know exaclty what youre' sayin. when i cry its like a raeging river coming out and ive got dark skin so it makes it even moer intense but when you got things comeing at you -from all sides of nature- you gotta keept from hesatating because in the future you wont find it the same again'. true words (!) (y)

[Documad]

My least favorite cry is when I cry at a really bad movie, where I know that I'm being manipulated and I still can't help crying.

[g-mile7]

yea i know i saw the movie daylight in theatres like 5 years ago, shit had me cryin so bad i didnt know what to do. i figure im goin into see an action stallone movie so i dont bother bringing in my sunglasses and suprise suprise it turned out to be real human drama' on some whole other level. seen when stallone almost got buried and those people on the bottom dies and you got that brother in the tunnel drowning 4 everyone and they pull him up out but he still dies that was a damn shame so yeah im feelin you on that one def (y)

i hate that cry too.

i always, always, always cry when i'm watching a nature documentary and an animal dies. it takes a good few minutes of my boyfriend consoling me and telling me that it's just how the world works and it's all ok in the grand scheme of things and i'm sure that baby fox is ok and found its mom and i'm wailing and bawling NO HE DIDN'T HE'S GONNA STARVE IN THAT BURROW ALONE OH GOD :(

i get really girly sometimes and cry happy tears a lot. i'm always a little embarassed by that.

as far as puffy eyes - keep a couple spoons in the freezer, or get a couple gel pads that are made for that. they help. but what i like the best is Alba Organics Hawaiian Green Tea Eye Gel. shit's awesome. immediately firms it up. you gotta massage them bags, though, with your pinkies. move from the inner corner of the eye out and very gently rub in little circles to get the fluid (eww, fluid) out.

i'm an expert at concealing a good cry.

[Auton]

wasn't that exactly on subject?

[Chicka B]

I haven't cried in a REALLY long time. It's usually when I'm depressed which is caused by stress which is caused by school sometimes. So I'ma be cryin a lot more often, tomorrows my first day of school. Poop. :( By the way, crying helps me relieve some stress even though it don't make the problem go away.

[HOTWIFE]

I don't mind crying, it usually makes me feel better. I've been crying alot this week watching those damn 9/11 documentaries.

G's dont cry.
If that's the truth, then I'm realisin' I aint no gangsta.

I'm suprised no one has said it yet, but I think this thread should be on the Dashboard Confessional or Belle and Sebastian message board instead of this one.

The last time I cried was probably a year ago. I don't cry often but when I do I go all out.

This girl was about to start dating a guy, she was just a friend at the time but I really cared about her and felt bad she was going to be unavailable, I had my faced buried in a pillow crying for a good 30 minutes after I got off the phone with her when she told me.

The weird thing is when she actually broke up with me for the same guy it didn't bother me one bit, I was really mature about and said "If that's your decision I respect it." She cried a lot but I didn't shed a tear. The whole situation was weird now that I think about it :(

Of course I dated her three times and each time she broke up with me for another guy, so I realised maybe she didn't want to be with me, just SOMEBODY until the next person came along. I don't think as highly of her now as I used to oddly enough :rolleyes:

I totally hate cryin'... I think that cryin' is a weakness demostration so...I try to spare it... I cry only when I'm alone, at night (If I must do that) so I cannot see the colour of my cheeks and nose and eyes....and I cannot reflect in a mirror. Anyway I'm going through a period when I should cry a lot....but I refuse!!!!

[na§tee]

animal cruelty always makes me cry. baby kittens! poor little faces! how can anyone hurt animals? especially kittens! it makes me so sad. i'm just like "YES! TAKE MY MONEY! TAKE IT ALL!" sob.

i never used to be like that. i was totally hard-nosed. as i get older (and, more likely, continue pumping my body with the fake hormones in the pill) i get more emotional. i don't cry at movies that much. the last ones i cried at were probably, oooh.. finding neverland, love actually (the bit where emma thompson's character discovers her husband bought the necklace for someone else but straightens her shit up and carries on.. omgz!) and.. hmm, can't remember.

documentaries get me more. especially people who are afflicted with terrible (and mostly terminal) diseases and are 100x a better person than little selfish old me is. and then i feel bad that i am crying because i am not as good as them, which is selfish.. uh.. too, and it just escalates from there. the boy whose skin fell off - my god, i was a wreck at that documentary!

old men who are treated badly, too. that gets me. i watched a documentary recently where this son was trying desperately to get his dad in a nursing home, and the dad didn't want to go. all his wife's stuff was in their home, all the belongings of this woman he loved and wasn't with him anymore. he would try to be independent, to not need his son to help him, but he would inevitable end up falling over or hurting himself or wrecking the kitchen. but his son would just get angry. they did get him to a nursing home but, in the end, the dad put his foot down and he went back home, little suitcase in tow. it killed me. it really did. asshole son!

if i am really upset about something - which in the past couple years have only been when i almost split up with my boyfriend, to feeling lonely and unsuccessful and a general loser earlier this year when i couldn't find a job - regret is a bastard - i will cry for hours. the worst in that horrible lump-in-your-throat pain you get, and that sort of dull ache you have to lull yourself into before you can even sleep. and your body hurts, too. yeah. crying aint much fun.

hope you feel better now, pauli!

[enree erzweglle]

I mostly cry when I'm touched by kindness or upset by seeing meanness & hatred, and I cry when I see other people suffering. If there is a situation where someone is grieving over the loss of some loved someone or they're in such a dire, dire way--something like that--that'll set me right off. Especially if those people are in that dire situation and it was at the hands of other people or because of hatred or some avoidable something. It is hard for me to watch that, suffering even in the slightest and it's really hard when I can't get in there to help. I can get over it more easily when I can involve myself in some way to help that person, but that's obviously usually not even possible. I have friends who can watch the news or hear or read about awful situations with particular people or in regions of the world and not only do they not tear up or want to get involved, but they sort of shrug it off and I wonder about that, about them and about me.

And during my period. It comes like clockwork every month, but every other month it takes more of a toll on me. I'll have more physical symptoms and I will be much more sensitive and less able to write stuff off that bugs me or rubs me in the wrong way. For a few days before that type of period, I'll be more affected and I'll be prone to crying during those times. I know about it, though, and ahead of time, I'll sort of bolster myself against it, but if I have other stuff in my life that's competing for my time and energy, then my boltering usually fails and then I might get upset over or misreact to something that I wouldn't think twice about otherwise. :o

Why thankyou, you're not too un-gangsta yourself.

that happens to me, to the point that the swelling lasts well over 24+ hours and I have to use special drops. Being allergic to your own tears totally rules.

Hence I hate crying. HATE.

[zorra_chiflada]

yes, that happens to me too.
and i've been crying more than i ever have before with all this shit that's happening with my mother.
