YES... in fact yesterday I was work and just lost it. I cried off and on all morning.
My husband called me and I started to cry and couldn't speak. I couldn't explain why I was so upset.

Ok, I'm totally pmsing and it's way past my bedtime but I'm on the verge of tears and once I'm done crying (for every reason and no reason at all), I might be able to go to sleep. Anyone else have those nights???

Yes- and not just when I'm a pregnant hormonal mess. Crying is really cathartic, as long as it isn't a drawn-out affair. My most recent crying episode was yesterday when my husband called to tell me that he wants to get a minivan (see my question from yesterday). Rational? No, but it helped me calm down long enough to listen to him when I got home!
Absolutely..Cry on girl!
Totally!! Let it out. I love a good cry.
Sometimes I get this way during the day, which is harder because you can't just fall apart. But at night ... go in the bathroom and go for it!
Hope you're feeling better. And know that you are not crazy and you are not alone. (I'm actually glad to hear that other women feel this way.) :-)
A good cry is like a good rain - cleansing!
Hope your day gets better! Smile - it's FRIDAY!
Yep. Us women need to cry sometimes. I know I've heard crying releases built up toxins. Release those toxins!
Yep!
I think the most important rule of parenting is to stay calm in front of the kid(s).
To maintain that calm it's VITAL to take those "mental health breaks" when and where you can-- a good cry in the bath, a screaming fit in the car-- whatever works for you!
I cry when super stressed. I had a private meltdown just last week and I was better afterwards. I know it's bad when even the meltdown doesn't help. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
absolutely!
cry on, girl, cry on.
Yes, and for me it's usually worse during the winter. I don't usually recognize the scenario until after I start crying: it's late afternoon, it's already getting dark outside, my son is sick and maybe has fallen asleep without eating dinner, I have PMS, and I can't stop crying. My husband is usually very understanding but he doesn't want me crying around our son. One time we were stuck in holiday traffic, hours from home. My son kept throwing up, and I couldn't stop crying. Then I realized, oh, PMS. At least I wasn't the one driving.
just had one ( well two) of those days last weekend!
That happened to me last week. Too much going on. I couldn't sleep so I turned on the TV. I saw that Kays Jewelers commercial where they show these guys proposing and the women saying yes in 3 different languages and it was so sweet and romantic I started crying and couldn't stop. Aaaahhhh, the joys of being a hormonal woman.
Aww! That's so sad! I've totally been there. :( HOpe you feel 'normal' soon!
Yep! The last few weeks I have been on the verge of sobbing all day, every day. I knew that once I got it out, I would be fine and would feel a zillion times better; unfortunately I am not a crier (Maybe once every few years) so I just could not turn on the waterworks. Sometimes it helps to think of the saddest thing ever just to get going...sick huh! This time around, I couldn't do it, though. It was very frustrating. Luckily it passed...
Hormones are responsible for the BEST and WORST things that ever happen since the beginning of time.
So yeah, we girls really ARE ruling the world in that way.
:)
I do very rarely, but it's usually a little earlier in the day!
About one week before I get my period, I always feel like crying for no reason. I usually don't succumb to the urge, but whenever I do, I always feel better afterwards. And of course, I never do it in front of my kids because I feel that it would upset them to see me cry (and for no reason).
Turn on Greys Anatomy. That way you can cry and not feel like it's for no reason. That show always makes me cry.
No, I hate to cry and rarely do it.
