Do U Cry?

I used to never be able to cry a few years ago. Now I cry at everything, a sad tv commercial, a movie (I blubbered through Titanic recently). I actually feel better after a good cry. But then I have to clean my glasses, and look like a strawberry for the next hour. I don't cry because I am sad or feeling bad for myself. Then there are good tears, but that is another long story lol!

" I use to cry all the time and it really bothered me at work. I'd get upset and start crying, UGH! Pdoc increased the dosage on one of my meds and I hardly cry anymore. I like it better this way. "

" i haven't cried since holding Anika's dead body in my arms for the last time. its been a long time since that day . . . after that you just don't want to do it again, for crying has now been linked to an unpleasent moment. as well, as boys are always told at young ages, "big boys don't cry." "

" Real men do cry . . . the way society has told men to suppress emotions . . . bleh, leads to a lot of violent explosions if you ask me . .

Anyway, I cry . . . a lot. If I'm upset I can't hide it from my bf b/c the tears just well up . . . eventually he has to see them if I'm with him . . . I have also been known to "burst" into tears . . . you know not where they well up slowly, but where your entire face crumples up and the tears start pouring out . .

I rarely cry good tears . . . when I'm really depressed tears don't feel like a release b/c they never stop . . .

Other times, it can be good to cry "
